What Was Your Work Out Today?
Replies
-
55 minutes of Steady State cardio again. 30 minutes on the rower (but man, I wish it would cool off! 92 yesterday and 90 today! Both record highs again). Then 25 on the Assault Bike. All under 70% max HR.3

Wednesday morning wiggles (workout):
followed by a slightly less rapid mile around the block (about 13 minutes on the dot today....maybe the ankle weights slowed me down? :P )
....then hopped straight onto Zoom to begin classes! (I felt kind of silly with my ear warmers and coat still on, but, hey -- I needed to get at least a little walking in!!)1 -
Deferred to late morning start (because 24 degrees F (-4.4C) is too cold for safety IMO), but was able to get a row in, in the double. Very light South wind, atypical midday this time of year, sunny, temp up in mid-30s to low 40s, and truly beautiful. My Garmin lost its mind somewhere during the row, so I don't have stats 🙄), but we did some extra distance so it has to have been at least 10k.
I've been slacking off workouts, between my usual late-Fall grumpitude/denial of the end of on-water season, and a disruption for cataract surgery on the 2nd eye (first was in 2016!). The *required* surgical disruption was short, but I let it put me off track for a while. Indoor rowing will get rolling again soon . . . I go through this nonsense with my own psychology every year, have for 15+ years now, and it always ends up fine. Pretty sure it'll be fine this year, too. 😉😆2 -

40 minute row today and then 15 on the Assault Bike. Longest row since getting back on the rower. Very slow, all of it -- steady state work between 65% and 70% max HR. Real low DF still to keep the back from hurting. 88 degrees outside again. I like rowing when it's like high 60s best. Supposed to have that be middle of next week.2

I ran my mouth all over the place. I'm taking it back outside and I'm going to jump rope for awhile.2

Took a walk, 4.11mi in 1:00:19. Not sure, think this might be the first time I've averaged over 4mph since sometime last Fall? I try to titrate walking dosage carefully when it comes to optional exercise walks. Too much, and the bad knees pay for it. Too little, and I don't keep enough walking-specific conditioning to enjoy the occasional long walk with purpose (talking special scenic walks, art fairs or music festivals, etc.).2

Deadlift(standard/sumo/straight leg) 6 sets each super set(always) with some core work. Followed by an hour hike.1

Hardest (machine) row, by far, in a while. Did 4 X 8 minutes w/ 2 rest. Slow as anything, but I had three goals -- just do it all on the rower, get through it without quitting and hit 90% of max HR on each set. Hit my goals. 2:10 pace on first one, 2:14 on second, then 2:19 on 3rd (fell off a cliff a bit) and 2:20 on last. All 27 SR w/ really low DF (around 65/70). Still babying the back and just making sure I build up slowly.
Didn't help it was around 83 or 84 degrees at lunch. Another hot one.
Half way through my 100 pushups, 100 pressups, and 64 weighted squats or deadlifts (really lighter weights for now, like 40 to 60 lbs).0 -
Too windy again today to row, with the water temp as low as it is, so my regular rowing double partner and I took a nice bike ride instead - started from my house, hopped on the trail system a couple of miles from here, and rode to a park just a few hundred meters downstream from where we usually row. It's about a 20 mile round trip, which is far enough but still comfortable for me on the hybrid, at my current level of cycle-specific conditioning. 😉
Grateful that the weather's still letting us get outside and have fun in comfort doing this, never a sure thing in Michigan in November.1 -
I am doing an rowing challenge to row a half-marathon (on my ERG) by the end of the month. I did 10km this morning, am due to do 12km tomorrow and then working up to 20km (or 21.1 to be precise) on 29 or 30 November. We'll see!2

Improbably enough (in Michigan on November 21), it was amazingly beautiful rowing weather today, even though we went half an hour later than usual to get a little higher air temp (few degrees F above freezing at the start). (Usually, later start means more wind, which is more risk when water's cold.) Glassy water much of time, at most tiny riffles; a few clouds but good patches of sun. Gorgeous.
Accordingly, about 12.5km rowing the double. We went upstream farther than usual, got to see the swan family flotilla on the water, 8 of them. (Kind of evil birds to interact with up close, but beautiful to see on the water.)
Quick downriver snap, post row, from the ramp to the club's rowing dock:

Sunday morning: Very short date with Team Body Project
- "Upper Lower Cardio"
1 -
10K row along with 100 pushups, 100 lateral raises and 64 weighted squats. Longest row (54 minutes) so far in a while, since last Spring. Really super easy again, all under 70% max HR (very slow and easy, low DF, but back is fine and that's what I'm shooting for).1
-
10K row again today. Really slow again today, but two 10Ks on back to back days and no issues. All under 70% max HR. Today is an off day for lifting, so just doing back rehab. I think it's the Superman Yoga poses (and holding them for a while) doing the most good. Really tricky to rid yourself of thoracic disc pain. It doesn't hurt like neck or lower back pain (I'm a pro at both of those two thanks to a severe auto accident years ago), but it throbs pretty bad when you lay down on your back or sit back against a chair. Just more aggravating than stabbing. Glad I'm getting it under control.1

ARG!! I am getting hit w all the medical issues. Back injury is either pinched nerve, herniated disc, MS, or all three. I have flu-like symptoms so getting tested. I JUST WANT TO TRAIN but I know taking some time off to reset is ok.3

Hope you're OK Alex. We'll be thinking of you.
Today was a hard, short rowing "sprints". Not really a sprint for me as I'm so darn slow right now. Had an ITC (interclub competition) 500m to turn in for this month, so I decided to do 8 X 500m/3 minute rest, with the first one counting as my ITC score. Well, I was never really a strong sprinter on the rower (1:40 was my PB time). So why I thought I could hold 1:35 on the first 500m was pretty silly of me. Ended up crashing and burning pretty bad and doing a 1:52. Not terrible considering, but the way I did it was horrific. Then the next seven intervals were shear pain. All were over 2:00 (from 2:00 to around 2:05). Light DF and high SR (stroke rate).
Did a 1K W/U and a 1K C/D as well.
Was nice and cool out on the deck at lunch. That was pleasant.2
