    Arm weight training and some ab HIIT

    10 minute elliptical interval warm up (upped a level!)

    25 minute bike ride at hard intervals that focused on getting my heart rate up above 175 every other minute. I upped several levels from the last time I did this

    4x500m row with 30 second rests in between as hard as possible. PR by 45 seconds today!

    8 min elliptical interval cool down (ymca was about to close so I had to cut it short)

    I didn’t focus on miles today-but heart rate and pushing to the red zone hard—lots of sweat! My knee is feeling better but not 100%

    Total workout time: 75 min

    That’s a “beastly” workout @lg013, you obviously have a good training ethic. Keep up the good work and keep marching forward!

    Thanks! The more it looks like I’ve peed myself, the more I’ve gotten up in that zone! Today was a serious contender for looking like I need to invest in some depends! 😂

    A 50km bike ride this morning. And I've already eaten 1500 cals before 2pm. I think I'm going to be very hungry this evening.

    5 miles cycling to and from bootcamp

    50min bootcamp, involved a lot of running along with trx exercises (shoulder press, sprint starts, feet elevated press ups, tricep extensions, squat jumps, etc.) Plus cardio exercises.

    Oh and ten pin bowling with my boys

    45 minutes jog/walk interval on treadmill incline
    Dumbbell shoulder, bicep and tricep sets (10lb)
    Leg Press. 115 lbs
    Incline Press 40 lbs
    Seated Row 40 lbs

    I'm just starting back to the gym. I decided that I needed to incorporate strength training the way I used to, it's the only thing that will change my body.

    9km in a 4 setting 2 seat. I think it's my race line up for next weekend's regatta - "think" being the key word. Felt okish - nothing to write home about.

    Today’s aim was to keep a steady heart rate of 155-170 no breaks between machine swaps

    Warm up-15 AB HIIT exercise, 2 circuits, just not at HIIT heart rate
    Round 1
    12 min on the elliptical at high interval
    12 min on the bike at a stead high resistance
    Round 2
    12 min on the elliptical at high interval
    12 min on the bike at a stead high resistance
    2x1250 m row middle resistance and fast as possible
    45 min on elliptical at 1 interval level down
    Workout time: 119 minutes

    Didn’t push into the zone to give myself an easier day today, but on an endorphin high and wanted to keep going! Knee feels great and going to hit the treadmill again today

    Saturday: 8.1k rowing the double. We did a little loop-back to look for Fran, who was rowing my single. She's a wonderful rower, but hadn't been in a single for a year. We thought, given how strong she is (despite being tiny - NCAA div III coxswain - and young) she should've appeared around the bend sooner. I'm some kind of crazy anxious auntie den mother type, on the water, with my group! Want all the people safe, and even the best rowers flip, now and then. (She was fine. :) )

    That reminds me of one of the sculling coaches who was filling in for my main sweep coach last Thursday. She initially put two very experienced rowers in a pair and after said rowers talked for all of a few minutes they decided to just take out their singles. The coach, who hadn't heard them talking, was like "also I'll need to check on the pair because really I would prefer they not flip." Needless to say, she was relieved when I told her that they had decided to take out their singles. :D

    Pairs are . . . challenging. ;)

    Not as bad as I'd anticipated, though.

    Yeah everyone tells me it's not as bad as they thought. I might try to row in one next year at the sculling picnic. Yes sculling, but the pair typically gets brought as well.

    7/27/2019 - late afternoon.

    Walk 1.0 mile in 18:34.

    Run fast 0:30 walk 2:30 relaxing recovery for 4 rounds = 0.83 miles in 12:00 - run fast splits mile pace equivalents were 6:44 - 6:34 - 6:16 - 6:04.

    Walk 0.53 mile in 10:11.

    Excited about tomorrow’s Wharf to Wharf 2019. Should be about 16,000 runners. Ran it last over 20 years ago with my son who was a high school cross country and track athlete. He placed in top 100 while I ran about a 7:20 mile pace.

    Updated goal for tomorrow is 52:00 or 8:40 mile pace. Original goal, months ago, was 54:00 or 9:00 mile pace.

    Today had a routine planned but had to shelve it.
    Had a restless night due to a headache from HELL.
    Recuperating for now
    Plan to walk the open track doing a brisk walk with leg weights for 3km. That is 3x around the track. The open air and calming view might help my brain fog and physical exhaustion.

    10 mile run. Possibly last long run before my next half marathon but I might get another 10 in.

    5/3/1 cycle 3 week 2 squats and shoulder press (would normally have done these tomorrow but school holidays means I have to fit everything in as and when I can)

    Way to listen to your body and give a needed break!

    Does it count that I spent 3 hours helping some (40 years younger ;) ) friends load/unload a good-sized U-Haul truck, 1 car, 2 SUVs and a pickup so they could move from an apartment to a house? (Yes, I carried heavy furniture.)

    Sunday is my rest day. :lol:

    Wharf to Wharf 2019 - 6.0 miles in 53:34 official results. According to Garmin, 6.07 miles in 53:37. Lots of first mile traffic so I did lots of zig zagging to pass runners and this apparently added to the distance.

    Additional walking to and from added another 2.44 miles.

    Nice race Pier! Great work!

    Yes, Ann, I'd say that counts as quite a workout!.

    Slow, steady day for me at the gym today.

    A bit under 9k in a quad in preparation for next weekends regatta. The water was really choppy most of the time. Like nearly white caps on our way back to the dock. We were going to do 1 full race piece and then a 600m truncated race piece coming back to the dock, but the water was too bad for the second piece.

    It was also my first time doing racing starts in a sculling boat. It took three tries for me to figure out (the first time, which was just the first two strokes, I was like, "oh right, i have to feather...") but after that it felt really good. But yeah other than the horrible water it was ok, I remembered that I love sculling in part because I can really suspend. I think the first time I felt comfortable in a sculling shell and put 100% pressure into my strokes I did the, "oh! This is suspension!" thing.
