    Sculling - 10.6km. My right hand decided that slipping down the oar handle was totally in style. Needless to say, I was not amused.

    I tore up my back room floor in about 2 hours. No idea on the calorie burn.

    Workout number 2: ramp test on TrainerRoad. FTP is up up 3 watts from the last time I took it. I suspect I could have maybe gone harder, maybe. Thanks to erging, my legs gave out before my lungs did and my max HR for the test was only 171. This is why I can't rely on cycling as a replacement for erging when I have to do erg tests.

    I'm trying to figure out how to schedule my weeks exercise wise as it's become very unwieldy. I think the answer involves taking advantage of the fact that I can take a nap on Monday, waking up early enough that I can take advantage of free street parking on Tuesdays and Thursdays (5:45 maybe which is not that bad), and much to the potentially smug pleasure of some people here, three days two days of strength a week. Also a lot of two a days and one three a day if we're counting yoga in that three (I'm gonna go with a no on that because while it's important, what I'm doing yoga wise doesn't involve any fatigue for me). Logically this should work and I'm giving myself Fridays off (which is a very good thing for a lot of reasons). I'll also be doing TrainerRoad's Sweet Spot base 2 plan which is organized better than Zwift's plans.

    edit: further research makes it appear that two days a week is more logical given my erg schedule and what erg workouts tend to be when. An AT (anaerobic threshold) workout the evening after a strength training day seems like a very bad plan. I might make that day plyometric with a side of the core strength routine that I "hate" because it's really hard, aka good for me.

    Swim day for me. 1 mile in 41:23 with lots of stretching before and after.

    I did a 14 mile walk. It rained the whole way. There were many hills. It was nearly dark when I finished - I thought about using my torch for the last decent. So it was close to perfectly timed.

    After that, I swam 1km (slowly, as in was tired from the walk.)

    In the UK, tax returns are due on 31 January, so the swim was a way on my part of delaying doing this (I did it afterwards.)

    Just a gentle 45min swim today.
    I'm getting back into weights after a while but trying to put some different forms of exercise in between the lifting days- swimming, cycling or yoga.

    First day trying anything higher intensity after a cold - 22 minutes of running including a beastly unplanned hill (thanks for the push, construction!)

    Got back from Sedona over a 3 day for my Anniversary. Didn't plan working out at all but did around a 4 mile "in and out" trail that was listed as Moderate near Sedona. Just gorgeous, one of my favorite places. Rest of weekend was rest, eating and fun (3 hour ATV ride on Saturday after the hike).

    Back in the workout groove today -- 60 minutes on the rower. Just over 12K @ 18 SPM/2:28 or 2:29 pace. Steady State work. HR mostly controlled but got a bit higher than I like at the end. Probably because I was well rested, didn't feel hard at all.

    I'm training. I took two energy gels and one pack of sports jelly beans. What do you typically do?

    My new favorite interval workout again today. 5 minute W/U on the rower, then 25 power strokes, let HR drop to 140 while rowing slow (18 to 16 SPM), repeat. Ended up with 13 hard intervals and 11.8K meters for the hour.

    Was well on pace to do 12K or more, but as the HR keeps drifting up, you really have to control the Stroke Rate/HR toward the end to allow it to get back to 140 again (UT 2 for me, or easy aerobic work).

    Climbing. I did a 75 minute session, as I got to the gym fairly late. (I ended up getting home at 10.30 p.m., not having eaten by then.)

    It was my first session for 8 days - I was alarmed that I was on the verge of injuring my finger. The finger held up well, with no pain, and it was a good session. I got quite a few harder routes.
