    A lot! Did a session of Reddit Recommended Routine (bodyweight workout). Then in the evening I ran 3.35km as first part of my getting better at running again Garmin routine. Yes, I did feel the strength workout during running. At the same time I could not run slowly and somehow managed to run the fastest 3km this year. While this was supposed to be a slow run. Ho hum... :D

    Yoga blew last night. New instructor that just basically wanted you in power poses until you were in a lot of pain. Not enjoyable.

    Today was supersetting (lots of pullups, pushups, deadlifts, weighted squats, overhead presses, lateral raises, lunges and weighted step ups) followed immediately by a tougher short interval row on the machine.

    Roughly 800 calories on the hour. The 31 minutes is the rowing portion. It splits it up when your HR goes down for an extended time. The last half was the row and the first half is the lifting sets.

    Hear you loud and clear on the Yoga suck factor, amigo! I really dislike "Power Yoga" since I'm after flexibility, balance and recovery during yoga. I much prefer enduring pain from other sources.

    Your chart, however, tells the story of productive discomfort! That's quite an effort for an hour. The graph is a great visual view of your cardio fitness, since your HR drops like a stone between rounds. That means that you'd leave most folks in the dust when rounds 4 and 5 come along and they're gasping for breath, unable to recover and your engine is running just above idle speed. Wow.

    First day of the training week. Felt great after a rest day. Bike/Run brick workout.
    Bike: 1:20:00 endurance session called "Tempo 20's" 25 minutes of various warmup outputs, cadences, then the main block was 2 x (20min@ 175W/5min recovery @120w) then cooldown.
    Run: 15 min ez transition run. Felt great coming off the bike and then caught myself going too fast starting the run. Eased back to 10:00 pace.

    Consumed some electrolytes even though this was only a 95min session. Trying to keep ahead of fluids and electrolytes during the week to help recovery and set me up for two long training days again this weekend.

    Swim/run tomorrow.

    I had a hospital appointment, and I don't like the Tube, so I did a lot walking to get back from it. (I also needed to do some running to get my train on the way there.)

    The good news is that flesh has grown over the device covering the hole in my heart, so I now have full scuba sign off! My bend was in 2017, do it's taken me a while to sort out.

    I hangboarded when I got home, and then did a quick bench session. I was reasonably strong at the hangboarding. For bench I got 3 sets of 8, 50 kgs.

    I ended the day on over 20,000 steps.

    * Rowed bow in a quad, 6951m. Heavier boat, easier to get suspension for better leg work.
    * Walked 5.19mi, 3.6mph - knees are juuussst hanging in there at a tolerable level, so keeping it kinda slow for comfort. Then Garmin mysteriously upgraded my walking VO2max estimate from 40 to 41. 🙄🤣🤷‍♀️
    * Strength-ish supersets for 33', mostly upper body, mostly push, mostly dumbbells, conditioning kind of intensity.

    Only a hardcore person thinks, "hey great, now my heart surgery has skin...", "I can scuba again!".

    That's great news for you, I know you love to do that.

    Run today had a slight touch of speed work in it. An hour's effort, starting with 10min of warmup pace, 5 min endurance pace, then 12 rounds of (2min @aerobic pace/30 second pickups) with pickups getting faster in each of 3 rounds. First pickup done at 8:55pace, then 8:35pace, then 8:11pace, then back to 8:55, etc. finished with 10min cooldown.

    I'm still not doing any true speed work, but the toggling back and forth between paces really seems to help me build run fitness.

    Yesterday off (had my pool equipment worked on). Today, just 20 minutes rowing. Had to follow my wife to get her car's oil change and drive back. I might miss tomorrow too since I have 3 different contractors here tomorrow.

    Golf tonight. Might try the half marathon Sunday as this is the most rested I'll likely be for some time.
