I went cc lumbing today. I wax terrible fir the first hour, but then I got a brief run of form and got two long term projects. It was a 100 minute session, good fun.1

217 minutes, 15.25 miles on my elliptical. Hopefully it wards off a gain tomorrow. I only had meat and broccoli for my Thanksgiving dinner. All the other stuff wasn't calling out to me, which was great! But I did indulge in a small serving of flan, as I have never tried it before and I am now indulging in a piece of pumpkin cheesecake!2

35 push ups today and 10minutes of vigorous step ups. Getting stronger.2

I'm not sure what was disagreeable about this post other than my inability to type accurately on a phone. CC lumbing should, of course, have been climbing, and fir should have been for.
I went for a walk before breakfast today, and I will lift weights over lunch, and finish up with an evening walk.4 -

I get so many disagrees on other boards that you have to wonder or not if there aren't trolls that just do it. I might get one for this post!
I do all the cooking for Thanksgiving and was feeling run down. It's just me and my adult kids -- no older seniors or young kids. My son had Covid in San Diego a month ago, my wife and daughter (both fully vaxxed) didn't feel well last week. Yesterday, Thanksgiving, I was feeling really bad and had my daughter pick up a Covid-19 test at Walgreens. Yep, I'm fully vaxxed (was going to get booster these next couple of weeks now that we're allowed to) so I don't feel too too terrible, but obviously not working out the next week or so.6 -

I went climbing. It was fun.
I concentrated on v3-v5 graded ones, which are normally too hard for me. I tried 4, got 3 with a flash on one. The last one was my last climb of the day, after 100 minutes. I feel off the first move about 10 times, then unexpectedly got it.
I also got some walking in, so I am now on 25,000 steps.3 -
I'm not in the habit of exercising in the morning, but since I would be spending the day at my parents' (and eating too much), I did a fasted 5k run this morning in 35min52.3
-
Rowing machine, 3 x (2k on, 2' off) + 1k on + 3' CD, shooting for moderate 2:36 pace and Z3 on the meter pieces. Hit 2:35.9, 2:35.9, 2:36.0, 2:35.8, which is about as close to a consistent 2:36 as I'm going to get, I think. 😆 21 spm average. 77% of time Z3, rest below, HR peak was 142bpm, close to 70% HR reserve.
8232m total including the row in/out during the offs, and the CD.3 -
First a mini strength workout: 3 sets of barbell bench press, 2 sets of front raises, 1 set of barbell shoulder press.
Followed by a treadmill run of 10.5km in 1h15. Around half of that in Z2 and half in Z3 (with 2 minutes in Z4)
My achilles tendon has been a bit sore (to the touch), so I'm using Voltaren and hoping it doesn't progress - I've increased my running volume quite a bit lately, so I'm guessing that's part of it.2 -
220 minutes on my Elliptical. I noticed I'm not as sweaty now as when I first started.3

Yesterday was a recovery day, so all I did was a very hilly 9 mile hike. Some would say I mis-timed it; I like walking at night so I am minded to disagree.

My heel is still a bit sore/stiff, so no running today. Didn't feel like strength training, so I did some indoor rowing:
5736m in 30min. Entirely in Z2 or lower.3 -
My workout for today was a 'Spirit' class (mix of yoga, pilates with a bit of meditation at the end). Not a particularly strong workout but my flexibility is terrible so I keep going.2

Today was my first day back on the elliptical after hurting my quad. In the days off, I decided to buy a heart rate monitor. I used one years ago (it has since died) and had good success with making sure I was working out at the right level. Today, I kept my heart rate in the 80-90% range and it felt good. Based on how this felt, I'm pretty confident that I was really pushing myself too hard previously and that's why I got hurt. Live and learn....

I did an interval workout, ran at 8mph until my HR hit 170, then walked until it hit 140, repeat for 40min. I also did some pull-ups and push-ups but nothing worth bragging about.3

Rowing machine, repeating the 3 x (2k on, 2' off) + 1k on + 3' CD, still aiming for around 2:36 pace and Z3 on the meter pieces . . . but failing, sort of.
I starting playing with increasing meters per stroke: I find it fun in machine season to practice things that put more power into each stroke (and patience into recovery, a thing boats appreciate). It's hard to practice consistently the same way on water, because I usually row multi-person boats, so matching has to happen.
Geekier interlude: With a goal of slow-ish pace and low-ish heart rate, more meters per stroke means reducing spm. Being less practiced at very low spm, I'm inconsistent at simulataneously holding both spm and pace, and frankly the "li'l ol' lady who dislikes strength training" thing means I'm not all that strong which makes power production difficult . . . so I ended up with pace often a little faster (doesn't show up in the average because I compensated), and heart rate creeping a little higher than ideal. Hrmph.
End up with 8,113m (including row in/out + CD), 2:35.5 average split, 16spm overall (pieces were 18, 16, 15, 15 so declining spm), but HR peaked at 149, in Z4 around 10' (22%), Z3 around 24' (53%), remainder below. On the plus side, I was getting up to 13m/stroke or thereabouts sometimes, which is good, for me.3 -

I did some eccentric bench and pull-ups. Then I did some overhead lunges, sled pushes, and bear crawls. Just a little something to "get the skin leaking"2

Rest day today, because I can't be trusted to not overdo it. haha.... Today's "exercise" goal is to get up from the computer frequently to refill my tea. This increases my NEAT a little bit and keeps me hydrated.3
