    Did an upper body workout and I am so glad I did. At first I really did not want to, as I felt so constipated. I think it was my casein protein last night....it was my first time trying it. I also just cycled on creatine again this morning so it could be either. But I feel a lot better after a workout! Walking today as well as it's almost 80 degrees here!!!

    20 min yoga, 30 min stairs, a long walk, 20 min full body dumbbells - argh summer-it’s getting too hot already.

    @alexmose hi :) not sure if this’ll help but I always eat some high fiber food with any concentrated protein, and with any dairy....it seems to help that issue. Don’t know anything about creatine tho.

    Thanks for this! It actually passed soon after working out and eating some fat. I’m partially lactose intolerant and forgot to take a dairy pill w my casein last night 🙄

    Hangboarding.
    This was a weighted hang session. It was disappointing. I failed to get 12. 5 kgs added ,- my PB is 15kgs

    Oh well, tomorrow is another day. I cut the session short after a few goes revealed how far off my best I was.

    My hypothesis is that grip strength is materially adversely affected by fatigue. I had a few nights of 5 hours or less sleep in a row.

    Perfect weather for a bike ride this morning. Took a scenic route and felt very good during the ride. Covered 35 miles in 2:03:00, a 17.1mph moving average.

    Now its time for yard work. :)

    4.25 mile run. I took a month or so off of running and it feels good to get back into my routine.

    Starting to work out again. Ran 3km, a bit faster than I wanted to be honest. Still enjoyed it.

    Just walking and some light upper body weights the last two days. Just keeping moving, nothing strenuous. Will get back to the usual tomorrow.

    I intended to have a day of cardio. But I felt really good, and so re-did my hangboarding day from a couple of days ago.

    I did an hour's yoga in the morning. I had an afternoon walk.

    I hangboarded in the evening, and matched +15kgs PB. I was close to +17.5 - it's a success when I hand for 5 seconds or more, and I managed 4.

    I then threw a kettlebell around for a bit - 3 sets of 5 goblet squat (32 kgs) and 200 swings (28 kgs).

    You're getting strong with all the KB work. Underrated workout! A 28kg KB (62 lbs) is over 1/3 your body weight, isn't it Matt? To do 200 of those is no joke! And the goblet squats as well. Nice workout. Congrats, too, on your hanging workout being better.

    I was supposed to do weights last night but thought (after the half marathon) I'd move to tonight and switch my lifting days back around. I have a 24kg KB that I'm getting used to again, but couldn't get to 200 swings!

    Super easy AM row this morning. Did a great job of keeping the HR at 135 or below. Only did 45 minutes (around 9200m I think). 2:27 pace on the first two splits, 2:28 on the third. Best job of controlling HR to UT2 zone in a while (moderately easy aerobic).

    3.5 mile run. In the wind. It was slightly horrible and I’m just glad it’s over.

    My Garmin watch definitely glitched during the run too as it thinks my average heart rate was 118...when I did the same route/similar pace last Wednesday my average heart rate was 167. It’s been having issues with the heart rate monitor for awhile now but these things are expensive and I don’t feel like spending the money to replace it.

    I rowed, four 2,000-meter intervals. I'm a newbie to rowing, so I am not great. I finished the first one in 8:40, second in about 8:50, and then it all went to hell! The last two were over 10 minutes, I think.
    But, man, that is a good workout.
