    Finished my timed rowing piece. Terrible time, but I got the distances done. Felt good just to get a hard row in and not quit on it.

    Trying to come up with the motivation to do some lifting tonight.

    Stationary bike, 15k (took about 40') + 3' CD. I was trying to find an intensity that would stay Z2, and only oops-ed over into Z3 for 54" when I wasn't paying attention and picked up pace a little. Looks like mid-80s watts will work, very easy - averaged 85W on the 10k piece. This is also a small volume increase (50% heh) from my recent indoor workouts - when I even did them! Trying to stay on the easy side so I can keep it up.

    Friday
    Lifting. I did:
    OHP, 3 sets of 5, 35 kgs.
    Front squat, 45 kgs, 2 sets of 5.
    High bar back squat, 1 set of 5, 70 kgs.
    Weighted pull-up, +22.5 kgs.
    Hang board, which I was poor at
    Deadlift, 1 set of 5, 100 kgs.

    Saturday
    Climbing, 2.5 hours. A very good session.
    This gym uses hold colours to indicate how hard the climb is. The second hardest are the blues, which are v4 to v6. I got two; it's the first time I have got any. I suspect they were both mis-graded.

    I also got three wasps, which is the bucket below (v3 to v5).

    Last Sunday: What started as simply weeding the front yard turned into a giant project involving moving rocks for about 3 hours. I was incredibly sore for 2-3 days. :smiley:
    Wednesday: mowed the yard and field (about an hour of push mowing)
    Today: Post-Thanksgiving elliptical (45 min.; medium pace for me) followed by full-body super sets of light weights.

    Just trying to get back into some sort of normal routine. One day at a time.

    Rowing machine again, same structure as Thursday's workout, 1k on + 2' off, 2 x (2k on + 2' off), 2k on + 3' CD. Main focus was watching the force curve, recognizing the signs of my recurring opportunities for improvement (or faults) and trying to improve them.

    I had in mind sticking with the same under-140bpm HR, 19-20spm, mid-2:30s split as Thursday, but it didn't work out. Needed to drop SPM to 17-18 to keep mid-2:30s, but when SPM slipped up a little bit, HR went up (not surprisingly). Ended up flirting with the aerobic/threshold boundary on the last 2 pieces, mostly above 140bpm even though 17-18spm. 🙄

    Most of the workout Z3, a little Z4; 8075m in 767 strokes, including row in/out and CD; 2:32.5 average split across the pieces.

    I just did 10 minutes of high-intensity interval training and around 5 minutes of stretching. I know this is not much, but as long as I get sweaty and my muscles are moving, I'm good! :)

    Between the kids being home all last week for the holiday, plus rehabbing from a nagging sore elbow, I took all of last week off from the gym. Still walked the dog a few times, and Wednesday was fairly intense moving boxes/furniture around while we decorated the house for Christmas, but nothing worth posting here about.

    Today was my first day back at the gym, so of course started with leg day! Yay!

    Squats 4x20
    BB Step-Ups 3x10
    BB RDL's 3x10
    BB Hip Thrust 3x10
    Seated calf raise 3x10
    Cable crunch 3x10
    Planks 3x90sec

    Finally back to a regular type of workout week. Did around 70 minutes of solid steady state cardio yesterday and my normal lift this AM, followed by some interval work on the rower and then the Assault Bike.

    Took roughly a week off after the gym challenge, so no formal exercise. I started back easy today with a slow 35 minute run/walk (4:1). It felt good to actually go outside and run, though my run fitness is almost zero, lol.

    Back to the gym tomorrow morning.

    Stationary bike, 15k+3', intentionally all easy pace, trying for Z2 (got 50" Z3 😆, but overwhelmingly succeeded), 85W average on the 15k, peak HR 129 bpm (60% reserve, 72% max). Still sweat stupid much, even with the ceiling fan on, even at this slow pace, even with house temp in the 60s F, not even breathing hard 🙄.

    I went climbing yesterday. I got to the gym late, so only had a 90 minute session. I was pretty bad, it was my worst attempt recently. Like djprooulx, I slept badly the night before which may have influenced it. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

    I had left over energy afterward, so I did a short run.
