What Was Your Work Out Today?
Replies

60 minute trainer ride today. 10 min warmup going from 125-215 watts, then a combination of cadence drills and endurance work during the ride.
Long run and endurance swim planned for tomorrow. 11 weeks to race day.2 -
The usual audience-boring routine (which I need to switch up soon as I'm getting kinda bored myself - short attention span 😆).
35'ish yoga/stretch/foam-roll.
5.16mi walk, 3.9mph.
30'-ish stationary bike, started out easy, picked it up to around 85% HR reserve in the last 8'. Seems to be some increase in cycling power capability, with some cycling after a long hiatus, but it's still . . . not great. Pathetic, even. Oh, well.)4 -
Felt decent (but not fast yet) during my long run. Some pre-run foam rolling/yoga helped the legs warm up after only about 10 minutes. 1:25:00 run was a 45 minute ez endurance pace, then 10 rounds of 1min@Z4/1min recovery pace, then EZ 20 minute jog home.
Swim workout: 2500 yds. 200 warm up, then a pyramid:
4x50 5 sec rest
2x100 10 r
2x150 10 r
1x400 10 r
2x150 10 r
2x100 10 r
4x50 5 r
200 cooldown
Temps are warming up to the mid 50s today. Hope to sneak out for some trout fishing in mid afternoon.

Walked 14km, plus 1km each to the train station and back home.2
-
Friday - walked 4 miles
Today 100MM - downbeat strength2 -
Leg day!
I did 5 sets of 10 pull-ups and 3 sets of 30 push-ups as warm up.
I worked up to 3 sets of 5, 80 kgs, for squat; and 3 sets of 5, 100 kgs, deadlift.1 -
Planned formal stuff all done way earlier than usual, and slightly abbreviated, weird schedule so I could do a Zoom social then get together with a couple, out-of-town friends, for take out dinner (all 3 of us post both vax shots, all of us have been isolating).
25' yoga, stretch, foam roll.
5308m machine row, Z3 and below.3 -
Dumbbell squats
Stability ball leg curls
Dumbbell bench press
One arm dumbbell rows
Dumbbell shoulder press
Decline sit-ups
Rowing: 500 metres slow-steady. Then 4 minutes tabata style (10 on, 20 off). More decline sit ups.2 -
Cycled 40km. Really chilled nice, fast cycling. Until the storm came up and I had to cycle the remaining 10km against it. Oddly, my speed went down by a lot
2 -
20 mins Rebounder, followed by 7 minute lower body stretching.
5 mile run
2.6 mile walk2 -
Bike/run brick session today. 2:20:00
Bike - 1:50:00
10 min warmup
4 x 15 min Sweet Spot intervals (10min@185w, 5min@125w)
30 min Endurance pace
10 min cooldown
Run - 30 min @ EZ endurance pace2 -
I went round my little brother's for a climb on his garden wall.
It was good - I was in reasonable form. I felt terrible right up to when I started. The it all felt good, and fell into place.
We did a short (maybe 5 mile?) walk afterwards.1 -
Short 10 minute workout today.
Rowing - the latest usual 10 secs hard 20 sec off for 4 minutes x 2. Some decline sit-ups in between and at the end.
Yes, I'm on a decline sit-ups kick this weekend.2 -

@JessAndreia, I hope you'll trust that this is no kind of loaded/gotcha question (!😬!), just me being sort of a rowing nerd.
When you're doing these, are your "off" bits easy rowing, or not-rowing? I've done a similar style of interval in the past, usually in the format WU, 8 x (20" on, 10" easy), CD (i.e., the old-school Tabata), so I'm just curious how you're structuring yours. I'm sure it's challenging!
(I don't do decline sit-ups. I'm not sure I even *can* do decline sit-ups. Go, you! 🙂)1 -

Dang! Got me!
(kidding)
Completely rest, so not impressive. Not sure I'll switch to easy rowing as opposed to not-rowing as I feel like I need the rest to mentally and physically prepare for the all-out rowing bits. But hoping to be able to do 10 on 10 off (not-rowing) in the near future.1 -

There's not a single thing "lesser" or less impressive about that! Hard pieces are *hard*. And you're doing 8' of those intense intervals, besides. You're doing great.
(Like I said, this wasn't any kind of attempted "gotcha" or critique. I think you're doing good workouts, nicely varied, with some good intensity in the mix. Besides, I have no platform for criticizing others: I'm pretty much "all moderate, all the time" lately. 😆 And that's fine, too. Overall, I think it's a wonderful thing when an individual figures out what's fun, challenging, satisfying, creates the right progress for them . . . vs. maybe falling into some fad, or other people's expectations.)
Row on, and enjoy it! 🙂1 -

Thanks! And no worries, I didn't take your question that way at all.
I think your workouts are quite impressive, moderate or not. Many younger people wouldn't be able to keep up with you.1 -
Around a 40 minute easy row today, though it was hot, even in the AM. Also 20 on the Assault Bike and then swam this evening.2
-
3.1 mile walk
Planks 6 x 30 seconds
Isometric exercises 6 x 30 seconds1 -
4th April - leisurely dog walk
5th April - argument with a timber sleeper - garden project & an afternoon in A&E! 🙄
(Bonus - fish & chip takeaway for tea!)

10K row on the machine on the patio. It was 85 degrees, so it was nice to have a breeze at least. Managed, albeit was pretty slow, to keep the HR all under 73% max (140). Most of it was actually under 70% max.
Got one of those industrial floor fans coming this week for my weight gym in the garage. Going to need it!2 -
I got another cheeky dive in.
It was cold. Visibility varied from 20 cm to 5 metres. The water temperature was around 8 Centrigrade, the air temperature was lower. It started to snow as we went in. By buoyancy was good; my air consumption was low (12.8 litres per minute Surface Air Consumption.)
I went for a walk afterwards, getting around 30,000 steps in. (I am on the left.)

Rest day today, so just an easy 45 min spin to flush out the legs.2
-
Chest day (3 sets of dumbbell bench press and pushups) and a lot of walking1
-
Still sick, phlegm city. 🤢

After a rest day yesterday, another round today of:
* 30' or so yoga/stretch/foam-roll. Feel a little stiff in the AM, and this gets the joints oiled up again. (Wondering if my thyroid meds need adjustment, though, since stiffness for me is a leading indicator sometimes.)
* 5.11mi walk, a little faster at 4.1mph average this time.
* 30' stationary bike, easy pace.2 -
30 mins of core work today. Doing legs 3days/week is too taking. back to 21
-
40 mins Rebounder.1
-
Intermediate kickboxing - 60 minutes2
-
Fit Father Project - Phase 2 - HIIT training on the Dreadmill for 35 mins2
