    Erg - BPP week 7/1: 7,500 meters with a split of 2:05.1 which is...faster than I was expecting. At some point, when I have a moment of free time (or procrastination) I need to make a graph the splits from the longer workouts (the non-interval ones. Today's split was 1.7 seconds faster than the 7k I did 10 days ago.

    I actually almost didn't workout today. I was headachy this morning (lack of quality sleep is likely playing a part - I'm working on it) and just didn't want to do anything right after class (partially because of mental health stuff). And I didn't. I ate a snack, hung out with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, ate lunch, and then went to the gym.

    My knees aren't feeling super great about erging towards the end of the longer sessions at the moment (as of Tuesday). Today was actually better than Tuesday despite the longer time and lower split. I suspect the actual remedy is doing the strength program my old physical therapist wants me to do as opposed to decreasing erging. Especially given that the pain doesn't linger at all. I'll figure out how to work that in next week.

    @aokoye like your self-talk post-workout analysis, I do the same and find it helps me when chasing performance goals.

    Thank you for the feedback! I always wonder if I'm writing too much in my posts on this thread in particular. I should actually probably put this into my the entries that get uploaded to Training Peaks too. I suspect it'll be easier to track things like potential or actual illness, mood, motivation, etc in relation to exercise there than anywhere else (Strava, Garmin Connect, etc). They already have mood and motivation fields.

    Saturday

    1mile very easy run
    Bootcamp

    Went out for a few drinks last night (well more than a few) so today's activities were interesting to say the least. Managed to get through it all without chucking up, which is a bonus, but there were a couple close calls.

    Bootcamp included lots of running, burpees, squats, press ups and sit ups, oh and Jack's. All perfect when you've got a queasy stomach and are a bit green round.the gills.

    Good stuff @J72FIT - I’m in pull-ups and bar dips mode now too except a tad below your upper rep range. Believe you can build a good top with those two exercises alone. Solid squat work with those pair of dumbbells.

    Are your workouts put together catch-as-catch-can or are you following a program?

    Good stuff, enjoy your youth.

    Hey @pierinifitness
    I basically do 3 days per week like this. I don't follow a specific program. I do a horizontal push-pull format for chest back and legs on Monday, a vertical push pull format for shoulders and back on Wednesday, and a vertical push pull format for chest back and legs on Friday. I grease the groove Monday thru Friday with pull-ups and handstand pushups. I do a lot of dead hangs for my shoulder health. I am also currently working on a handstand and a press handstand so there is a fair amount of core work. Yoga every day. I also try to do a couple HIIT sessions per week on an eliptical and or stationary bike. Jump rope when my knees cooperate...

    When 50 hits I plan on hitting back...

    Thank you for the kind words...

    I'm stuck at work until 6 pm, but I plan to take one of my dogs for a 3 mile run. It looks like heavy thunderstorms, so that run might turn into a treadmill run at the gym. Crossing my fingers it doesn't though, because I HATE the treadmill. I usually don't make it past 2 miles because I get so bored. After running, its leg day.

    Welcome and good luck to all the new folks to the thread! Seems like we had a major influx this week. Good to see. It's been the runners, the rowers, and me for too long a while now. :smiley:

    I just realized I've biked 831 miles in 138 days. I enjoy the mirroring. Not planned.
