Upped my Elliptical this week to 140 minutes. I did 151 minutes today because I wanted to make the 12 miles!1

Todays workout was my first half marathon. Been training for a good while for this one 😃7

We cremated Dad on Tuesday, then I went home via a climbing gym. I was out of practice, as expected after a month off.
On Thursday, a few of us headed off to Cornwall. We arrived just in time to get in a night dive. On Friday, we got two day dives and another night dive. It was my 50th, so we had some cider on the night dive, which worked surprisingly well.
Saturday was two boat dives and a shore dive. Sunday was two boat dices, the highlight being infinite numbers if crayfish, a dog fish and a cuttlefish.
We're blown out today, so will get an early-ish start home.5 -

Cardio, strength and recovery work in a single day = perfection!0 -
Short trail run yesterday, since I was still feeling the effects of Saturday's bike ride. Foam rolling and some yoga this morning.
Looking forward to my first day back with my trainer tomorrow.2 -
Recovery rest in the morning - evening badminton1
-
11K rowing. Probably pushed a bit hard for Steady State work. HR got to 80%. Felt good though.
Broke it down to 5500m X 2 with 90 seconds of rest and did 2K unstrapped to start off second interval. Unstrapped feels very unnatural at first, meaning my form needs work, but I'm getting better at it again and it's making my hands faster on the return (or you fall off the back of the rower!).
850 calories for the 55 minutes.1 -
Today some strength training:
3 sets landmine deadlifts
3 sets barbell bench press
2 sets cable lat pull-down
2 sets barbell shoulder press
2 sets Bulgarian split squats
2 sets cable rows
2 sets dumbell side raises
And then some hanging exercises, still trying to build up to pull-ups.3 -
Day 29 EPIC I (isometric & dynamic full body dumbbell workout)3
-
6.9k row, in (!) stroke seat. (Stroke is the one all the other rowers can see, sits at the stern end of the boat as we travel opposite the direction we face; the job is to set the cadence, keep rhythm steady, be a good technical model . . . I am *not* a natural stroke 🤣, but do what needs must.)
6.15 mile walk, 3.1mph moving average, with a latte break in the middle.
Three circuits of mostly upper-body exercises on the machines at the park after the walk.
Tonight: Supervised open rowing, added another few thousand steps to the earlier walk; currently at 19,523 steps and counting for the day.3 -
Yoga: Vinyasa with standing balance poses.
Nothing fancy, but I can tell I will be sore tomorrow and it gives me some extra calories for my post-dinner treat.

In a few minutes, at least 35 min of cardio..which I dread!4

EPIC Day 3. I did complete it but I had to modify a lot of the exercises or quit before the time was up.
I'm still proud of doing it, even though I couldn't do a lot bc I'm horrible at planks and some ab exercises. My form is getter better but I'm still bad at them. My abs never recovered after being in a wheelchair for months. But hey I didn't make all the excuses in the world, I did the thing with 2 extra breaks and by modifying it.6 -
First trainer session at the gym this morning. Felt great to be back at it. I quickly realized that my balance, range of motion and core strength could use work after an extended layoff. My trainer agreed and assured me that it would be "no trouble at all" to focus on those weaknesses, lol.
Planning an easy trail run tonight. Expect sore muscles tomorrow.3 -
7-8 am:
Warm-Up
Elliptical - 2miles (sub 8m)
Strength, Flexibility, Balance & Mobility
Yoga - (20m)

@ashcurl ... I modify EPIC exercises as well. I have knee problems so do calf raise variations instead of lunges most of the time. I can do side lunges and rear lunges but not forward or that curtsy one she does. No way. I also keep an assortment of dumbbells and switch them out as needed. I have still made gains since I started and no longer use my lighter weights plus I've added heavier weights. I'm at the point I need to buy the next size up dumbbells. I also don't do the HIIT day. To much jumping and too hard on the knees.
But just keep trying and modify as needed. Push yourself when you can and you will see results. I'm stronger and much firmer after only 7 weeks (I did the beginner week) And I was already doing dumbbell workouts before I started but honestly didn't work as hard as I do with EPIC. I really like it and look forward to it. The variation of exercises is motivating for me.

I'm boring. Did 153 minutes on my Elliptical for 12 miles. I need to start doing abdominal crunches on my exercise ball. My abdomen is abominable. Also need to start doing squats, maybe while watching TV. My butt is smaller but so flabby now I'm sitting on my tailbone.3

Super short bike ride only today, due to limited time availability: 6.9 miles at moving average 12.2mph.3
-
60 Minute Weight training today in just a few minutes.. bench press, triceps, back, neck legs and core..love it!!3

Tweaked a hamstring during last night's trail run. I'm having trouble bending my left leg this morning. Giving it the foam roller, compression gun and Biofreeze treatment. Hoping that I can walk it off by mowing the lawn tonight.4

After a couple of rest days (1 scheduled, 1 because of weather) rode the bike this morning for 17.85 miles at 13.5 mph average - total time of 79 minutes.3

Ran 4 miles today morning1

I got a climb in on Monday after getting back from diving. Surprisingly, I wasn't terrible. (I wasn't good, but I got a couple of harder routes.) I lasted 70 minutes before the pump got too bad.
I had a day off yesterday, but did manage 10,000 steps at least.
I should be able to get a climb in later tonight.
I will head back to Mum's again soon. She has a biopsy for cancer coming up - hopefully it's nothing - and she needs someone with her when she has the operation.6 -
I woke up tired this morning, so the plan was to do some light yoga to stretch sore muscles. I was drinking my morning beverage and watching a favorite YouTube live stream to wake up, when the streamers decided to go an extra 20 minutes. That motivated me to move from my desk to my elliptical ("If they can go an extra 20 minutes, I can get off my butt and walk for 20 minutes."). I jumped on, watched them while walking faster than I usually do (cuz, only 20 minutes), but then ended up going for 30 minutes with one of my fastest paces yet! (Which isn't fast by anyone's standard, but after sitting on my butt during this pandemic, I'll take it!) 6

Rest day yesterday, I was too exhausted.
Today a short but intense run: 4km in just under 29 minutes. I started at 8kph, but increased speed gradually and ended at 9.5kph for the last 500m, just about as fast as I have ever run, I think.
I also created an account on Runalyze today, curious to see if it helps me progress.6 -
Yesterday was supposed to be my toughest day (hard row at lunch, lift in the evening). Had a nasty headache came on really sudden in the AM, so scrapped the whole day. I'm at that age that I listen if my body is off instead of being stubborn. Hated to miss but wanted to be cautious.
Today did 11K (5500 X 2 w/ 90 seconds rest) meters machine rowing. Did the first 3K unstrapped again. HR got too high (around 80% max) during the second interval. Likely because I didn't set far enough in the shade and the sun was on me at the end.2
