Skipped the lifting for today. I wanted to get one of two harder timed rows in for this month for my rowing club. I wanted to do these once I got my new cooler in the garage. It was still 88 degrees out there today but I did have on a "cooling technology" shirt, headband and towel. You wet them and they cool you down by like 10 degrees, so the heat wasn't a factor as much as just my lack of ability to hold hard rows for long periods.
This is what's commonly known as a "waterfall" workout, where it starts out with the hardest set and gets easier on the next few. Didn't feel easier, though. I'm not sure if this is progress or not, but my timed 5K last Summer was just under 2:12 pace and this one was twice as long. Was hoping to push it to 95% max HR on the last one but fell short. Tried to push to 90% max on the first two.
Overall, satisfied with this. I completed it and didn't die of heat stroke!
Legs are shot (contrary to what you might see in a gym, rowing is primarily a leg workout), but might try to get in a chest and shoulder lift this evening.

Climbing, 100 minutes
This was a good session, I got a few projects. I get about half of the v3/v4 graded climbs at Craggy Island now. Before lockdown, there were typically 2 I could get (out of many ).
I seem to have been bouldering 5 days out of the last 7, which is arguably too much volume1 -
This week I have taken all five of my dogs out - one per day - for an 'extra' hike in addition to the standard stuff. total is something like 27 miles, which is no actually crazy.
but also I'm taking a bog standard walk and a nap tomorrow.4 -
60 min walk... slacking today3
-
A short walk 🚶♀️3
-
Hour of cardio today. All pretty easy stuff. 40 minute row followed by 20 on the Assault Bike.
Off to Top Golf to work on my drives.2 -
Today’s workout will be hike, undetermined mileage but both options will involve a steep climb.2
-
Was thinking about an upper body, but my legs locked up in the heat on my walk and now im scared to try a hard lift today4
-
I went climbing for 2 hours. I was on form, it was a bit of a sending spree. I got a v3-v5 graded one - I think my first. The crux was at the top, and on the fourth go I went for it in blind terror. To my surprise, it worked and I got the route.
I also got 20,000 steps.4 -
Squats 5 x 85lbs (fixing that butt wink)
Landmine OHP just the 45lb barbell (PT)
Deadlifts 5 x 140lbs3 -
3.25 mile jog4

Big change will be doing it AFTER a day at the office, where my preferred is in the morning right after waking up, but due to my new desk job that's rarely going to be an option moving forward unless I get up obscenely early, which I can do every now and then but not as a normal way of life moving forward for the rest of my life.
Oh, how quickly life can make you change your mind! lol Here I am one month later, and have completely changed my thinking on when to get my workout done. For the past two weeks I've been waking up at 5 to workout before commuting to work. My workouts are more intense than when I do them later in the day, and now when I leave the office it's to go home and eat or spend time with family. And yes, I seriously expect this to become my new normal way of life moving forward for the rest of my life, or at least as long as I keep my current desk job, lol.
Oh, and today was push day in the weight room, so chest, shoulders and triceps.3 -
Slept in and was lazy and skipped bootcamp.. but will play badminton today evening to make up...3

Defining my plan today, and will do first strength routine today.
Strength routine performed every 2 days, and walking 3.5 miles on all other days.
Strength routine:
Alternating Sit Squats, 1 1/2 squats, Jump Squats,
Wall supported Handstand, Pike Pushups, Cobra Pushups, Alt. Heal Touch Squats, Alt. Sprinter Lunges, Plyo Sprinter Lunges, Bodyweight Sliding Pulldowns, Dumbbell Pullovers with home weight, Reverse Corkscrews, Black Widow Knee Slides, Levitation Crunches
15 seconds each, then repeat the entire sequence.
Break as needed with goal of reducing breaks over time.
Time to increase to 1 minute per exercise.
Routine is every every three days.3 -
Had a bit of a neck kink for the last day or so that seemed to radiate into the back and shoulder blade. Not unusual as I had a broken collarbone years ago that never got diagnosed that healed improperly and have a bad neck from getting T-Boned at 21 on a state highway while driving 65 MPH (I have two vertebrea nicely fused together with scar tissue!). So every now and again, these injuries come back and remind me they are there and this weekend was it.
Was supposed to do a hard, short sprint row today with weight supersets. It's a pretty brutal workout, so I toned it down greatly. Did a very easy 30 minute row, then 8 supersets of chest, shoulders, legs -- all around 20% to 30% lighter than I have been doing.
Seems to have helped, not hurt, as the pinched nerve from my neck (for now, knock on wood) has settled down a lot.
There was a quote in my Franklin Planner today (yeah, I'm old school!). "Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes" -- Oscar Wilde. Aptly describes my past in training. I used to go full speed ahead when hurting and have to take weeks off. I'm much smarter now. I've had to learn over time. Pushing the body in your late 50s is a delicate balancing act at times.4 -

15 mile mountain biking at Dalbeattie trail centre in West Scotland.
Really delighted with my fitness progress over the last few months.4 -
Around 7k rowing bow in the quad (finally some adequate weather!) in AM, and wandered around supervising open rowing in PM (not much happening, except a turtle that kept on insisting on relocating him/herself to the middle of the driveway - death wish?).2

I am just outside London, so I have many climbing walls nearby but not much rock. The nearest rock is probably Tunbridge Wells, which is about two hour's drive. I should aim to go there soon - I've not been for a while. I did it as bouldering the first time, but a lot of the boulders are high balls (e.g. 5 metres) and are a bit petrifying. So top-roping it feels a better approach - it's sandstone so one cannot lead climb it.
I'm off for another indoor climb this evening. I was fairly sedentary yesterday, just managing a 7 mile walk in the evening.1 -
Little over a half hour on the elliptical today. Finally figured out how to make the built-in TV work, and what's more it connects to my Netflix account. So moving forward I'll be able to start catching up on my movies, a half hour at a time! lol1
-
Back at morning boot camp today after a couple of days of well needed sleep. Not sure about evening.. maybe a walk or run depending on weather and time...1
-
Did just 5K rowing today in the garage and around 30 more inside the A/C. After the wife brought the hot car back home, during my workout, didn't feel right. It makes the garage heat up another 10 degrees or so.
I'm trying to encourage her not to come home from running around and browsing stores during my workout. Yeah, that will never happen.2 -

2 hours climbing. I spent most of my time on tiny crimps, fortunately my pulleys still seem to be intact. It was good fun. I got two new routes. One actually had a dyno, and I'm terrible at them, but I managed it eventually.3

Will Do some Gorilla Bow Tabata this evening after work!3
