Been outta commission and off the reservation for almost 2 months it seems. Got back in to the swing of things this week:
Monday-
1.5 miles jogging
Yoga
Tuesday-
0.5 mile warmup
Circuit Training (3 rounds)
Wednesday-
1.75 miles jogging
Yoga
Thursday-
0.5 mile warmup
Circuit Training (3 rounds)
My pull-ups went from 10+ per round to 5 or 6. Ouch. Atrophy is a *kitten*!
EDIT: Plus an un-Godly amount of snow shoveling ALL WEEK!2 -
60 minute trainer ride yesterday. Focus was on maintaining steady power at different cadences.
Today was a running day. 15 min warmup pace, then 6x 45 sec Hill repeats, 10 min recovery jog, 6 x 45 sec Hills, then 15 min cooldown.2 -
5K on the rower -- went out too hard on the HR. Was going to cool down on the Assault Bike but my daughter or wife had ripped the one foot strap off and I had to fix it. Of course they didn't notice it. Probably for the best as I could use an easy day.2

I've felt that pain. Rest days are key.
FWIW: Over the last month I've been using a VariDesk to work while standing, and I've really noticed a reduction in my chronic hip flexor tightness. When not standing, I use an "active chair" which is like sitting on a gas operated pedestal with a seat mounted on top. The pedestal moves in all directions like a joystick. The chair prompts core muscle engagement and better posture is required to remain comfortable on it. Helps an old dude like me to remain upright.

Love a good VariDesk!! Luckily today is a slow week so I've been getting 14K steps a day!1 -
2k row.2

Rock climbing at the climbing gym! (Short day though because I ripped up the side of my fingernail getting overly ambitious with a dynamic move, then couldn't get the bleeding under control). At least we made it in for a bit, climbing is always a good end to a busy day.2

Nice! I can't wait for gyms here to reopen. I built a woody in my garden, but it's not really useable when it's raining as the holds are too greasy.
I did some hangboarding yesterday, building up to 15 seconds on the 15mm ledge in a repeater. (I did 15 seconds on, then rested a minute, for 5 reps.)
I then did 3 set of 5 finger curls, 60 kgsl; and 2 sets of 10 bench press, 50 kgs.1 -
0.25 mile walk (warm-up)
1.50 mile run
0.25 mile walking (catch my breath)
0.75 mile run
0.25 mile walk (cool down)
3.00 miles total
Plus some yoga/stretching/cool down because, well, just because! 😉1 -
Started out with 20 minutes of elliptical then completed the following weightlifting session. Bicep/Back day. (low weight-high reps)

Very quick upper body session today1
-
PT session at 4...never know what she's going to bring.1
-
Sydney Cummings workout (glutes)
A second 30 minute Sydney Cummings workout (cardio and abs) I did with my son at “recess”.
7.5 km walk with my BFF.2 -
2500m X 3 at threshold w/ 3 minute rests -- like 11 minute sessions, as hard as sustainable, then 3 rest. Hit 93% max on the last one. Felt easier to stay at 90% max, so I'm starting to acclimate well to pain again. All around 2:16 pace.3

Howdy, folks!!
So, it has been quite some time since I've posted in this thread.
It would be a bit extraneous, I think, to try to catch up on recording all the daily movement regimes I failed to post here, so I'll just summarize it:
I continued with my usual Team Body Project morning/early afternoon dates. I aim for at least 30 minutes every day - some days I do an hour. Some days I do one session, others I do two (and the rare three), but my workouts typically last between 30 and 60 minutes.
I stuck to my routine until almost two weeks ago, when I somehow broke a rib. (!!)
Since my injury, I haven't "pressed play" like I usually do. In fact, and I dread to admit, my activity level has decreased tremendously. I thought I was a bit bonkers before this downtime, but these past two weeks I feel like I'm going INSANE. My mind is circulating with fear and worry and anxiety - fear over "losing" any progress I might have made, fear of turning into a "blob", and fear that I won't be able to move like I used to and want to.
Anyway, I didn't come here to unload a flood of complaints and negativity on you all.
I came here to check in, and also cheer you all on in your journeys.
I really hope I get to enjoy movement with you all VERY soon.
Please be gentle and kind to your bodies, and grateful for every chance you get to celebrate the gift of movement.
I am gradually starting to realize that I was very selfish with that gift - the gift of mobility. I took it for granted, and I think I might have abused it a bit. Our bodies need rest and recovery just as much as they need exercise. I hope I get another chance to put that into practice and treat my body better.3 -
70 minute ride on the trainer today: Muscle Tension intervals.
Warmup 5min
Endurance pace 10 min

I usually don't work out on Saturdays, but got up early today and knocked one out! (went out for dinner and drinks last night so need to burn some of that off!):
0.25 mile walk (warm up)
3 rounds circuit training
0.25 mile walk (cool down)3 -
Very cold and windy here this morning, so I switched today's planned long run/swim for an endurance ride on the trainer. Put in a slightly longer trainer ride that included some Half Iron effort blocks. 2:10:00 total time.
Warmup: 10min at various outputs: 140, 160, 180, 200watts
Recover: 5 min ez pace 120w
Repeat 3 times:
a) Race Pace - 30min @ 175-180w
b) Aerobic - 5 min @ 140-155w
Cooldown: 10min ez spin 105-120w
Struggled a bit this morning, since I'm still carrying leg muscle fatigue from yesterday's low rpm ride.

Yesterday, I did leg day:
Squats, 3 sets of 10, 85 kgs.
Deadlift, 3 sets of 6, 110 kgs.
Today, I did an 8 mile walk in the morning. I put out the climbing mats for an afternoon climb, and it immediately started to rain. It had been a week since my last climb, so I cursed and then carried on regardless. It was a pretty good session.1 -
Today was a swim/run day. Early morning swim was shortened due to only being given a half hour timeslot, so I focused on drill work and a 10x50 main set.
Easy long run scheduled for this afternoon. Temp was 13 degrees at 1pm today, so the run was cold. Four of us wore snow spikes for an easy run through the woods, including some creek crossings over snow covered wooden bridges. It was a pretty run and the group helped to pull me along for about 6 miles.
Now its time for some foam rolling and yoga. Rest day tomorrow.
