    Steady rain and cold, no row.

    3 x 10' on Concept 2 rower, all moderate to high-moderate steady state, shooting for under 2:30 split (2:28.5, 2:28.2, 2:25.6), 22-24spm, damper around mid-3.

    1st 10' before breakfast with 2' CD, other 2 pieces later in the day as 2 x 10' on, 2' off. PM pieces, first 2' off was drink break & row in easy, 2nd was CD, and did about another 4' at super duper extra easy pace (2:58.8) for more CD.

    At different points, working on heels down immediately, keeping hips behind body, firming back/shoulders for connection: i.e., basic tech stuff.

    HR response a little more reassuring (i.e. lower than last time, HRavg 134/HRmax 146 on the AM piece, HRavg 123/HRmax 163 on the PM pieces). Amounts to AM being mostly Z3 (75%), PM roughly 25% each in Z2-3-4, rest split between Z1 (16%) & Z5 (only 1%).

    I hate working out fasted: Ugh.

    Most of my workout today was getting past the unreasonable anxiety about just walking into the gym. I was only about 5 minutes later than usual getting myself in there, and nothing bad happened. So I wrote that down to remind myself that I'll never collect insurance moneys for weight room PTSD, because that's really not a thing, and it's not the weight room's fault anyway.

    5x5

    Squats @ 105
    Bench @ 50
    Rows @ 60
    Lat pull down @ 57.5

    Plus about 15,000 steps walking to the gym and home and doing work stuff.

    Weights are all still depressingly low, but heart rate spikes still show that I should still be cautious about jumping back up to where I left off in June. Post workout whining by various muscle groups is tapering off, finally, so at least I don't stop to question my life choices every time I try to sit down or get up from a chair. >_<

    3 x 5 min at threshold w/ 1 min rest
    3 x 4 min intervals at threshold w/ 1 min rest

    But, bailed on last interval and used it as cool down.

    1609 Time Trial for my Indoor Rowing club. 1609 meters, it turns out, is one mile. So this was a one mile Indoor Rowing all out sprint. Rowing times, also, at least on the C2, are very similar to running times. Since most of you are more familiar with that. I did a 6:13. I was a bit disappointed as I wanted to finish around 1:54 pace but finished 1:55.9 pace instead. Give me a good idea of what my 2K time is currently -- around 7:45. Respectable racing times, for my age group (I move up an age group in 2 days to the 55 to 59 group -- the only time getting older is good!), are under 7:30, so I've got some ways to go still.

    Thursday...tough on the legs today.

    Started the day with PT and as the climax of my 30 days of Coxs Hill challenge, I pulled her up the hill. Ridiculously hard, my legs and lungs were burning by the top.

    Then went to the gym for leg day. Same workout as last week, but all sets upped by one rep. Plus added squats @40kg. Legs were burning by the end of the 2 hours (included 20min cardio to finish)

    Then after a few hours rest it was tabata followed by barbell this evening. Legs are really feeling it now.

    2 mile run and yoga. It was freezing outside when I did my run so I turned on my space heater while I did yoga and it felt seriously amazing!

    40 minute walk to see my physiotherapist. Later 3 sets of 15 knee extensions and 3 sets of 15 of leg press both for my bad knee. I don’t know what the weight was. The weights are just labelled 1,2,3,4.. etc. What does that mean? 10, 20, 30, 40 pounds?? Then a little cycling. Just getting back into exercise again. Feel good that I got back to the gym.

    I got a couple of fillings in my teeth yesterday and of course every time I get dental work done I still think I can run on all cylinders after despite someone hammering around in my mouth for a while and giving me a headache. So lift day turned into rest day.

    Today I went to another hard spin class which felt great. There's a gym near me that has the best spin classes and I can sign up via ClassPass easily. It's a nice way to break out of my usual gym and routine, but I've really gotta get back on the strength training wagon. The last two weeks have been a little spotty.

    60 min swim (3000 yards). Focusing on endurance so 3 sets of 500 yards without stopping with shorter sets to break it up

    90 minutes' bouldering. This started well: I got a bunch of harder stuff. However, I decided to loads of overhangs, starting at about 45 minutes in to about 1 hour 15 in. I got all of these, but they left me very pumped. I never really recovered, so I fell off the wall a lot.

    One of my persistent falls was a new route. I can get to the penultimate hold, but the final hold is miles away. I guess it may need a dyno.

    I also got in 20,000 steps, which is a few more than average and not bad for a school night.

    Friday.
    No PT today and my usual class wasnt on either so I went to a couple of classes included in my gym membership (that had been set up in direct competition to the classes I usually go to)

    Hiit - hmm I seemed to spend a lot of time jogging on the spot waiting for everyone else to finish. Not exactly what I would call hiit, and nowhere nearly as hardcore as I'm used to. But you get out what you put in, so I threw myself in to it, not often I'm first finishing burpees.

    Barbell - again not what I'm used to (remember i did tabata and barbell last night). A lot more rest, including during tracks. Bit both these classes have their place for people that arent in to or ready for the more hardcore classes.

    I then did a short treadmill workout up in the high school gym while my boys roller skated.

    1000m run/10 squat jumps
    800m run/12 squat jumps
    600m run/14 squat jumps
    400m run/16 squat jumps
    200m run/18 squat jumps

    With everything I've put my legs through in the last 24 hours, they were really complaining and wobbly by the 400m run

    If my DOMS go away in 3 hours, I will do a chest, tricep, and shoulder workout. Also need to do about 20 minutes of cardio on the stationary bike.
