    Nasty, wet and rainy outside again so I did 30 minutes on the Assault Bike and 30 on the LateralX -- all steady state around 65% of max HR.

    A bit over half an hour (maybe 40'?) of yoga/stretching/foam rolling before breakfast.

    3 x (2k on, 2' row in/out+CD) for 6765m total, at moderate SS (2:33 pace, 18spm, a mere 5" in Z4, remainder below, 73% of time Z3).

    23 minutes strength training, mostly dumbbells, mostly upper push but added some DB deads and unweighted reverse lunges (latter maybe not a good idea - terrible knees). Once again, objective was reconditioning - i.e., very light, mostly 2 x 10, supersets (so as not to tax my fragile patience). I'll stick around here until the DOMS is mostly gone (about a week?), then figure out where/how to add intensity without too much risk to the aging body.

    Feeling pretty beat up lately. Taking some time off to stick with mostly daily mobility training...

    Sounds like a smart plan. Recovery days/weeks are great medicine.

    Did 11 miles on stationary bike.
    Warmed up with light weights and decided to focus on where my OHP form was breaking down. Went at this with intent of hitting 100 reps. Did sets of 25 and made it to 3rd set with 2 left and tried to grind through it..... bad mistake. Was able to get a step or 2 away before I went down like sack of potatoes hahaha. Positive outcome I got it on video and didn't get hurt. That ended my am workout but gonna hit a couple miles on trail at lunch soon.

    Half an hour-ish of yoga/stretch/foam roll before breakfast.

    Stationary bike easy pace (forgot to start workout on Garmin so not sure exactly how easy, but limited stats from the bike suggest HR peaked in lower Z3).

    Sixteen minutes of core exercises after the bike.

    Happy New Year to all.

    I joined a group of ten friends in entering a "winter warrior challenge" which requires a run or walk outside every day in January. Today was day one. Mileage is tracked and medals given based on 1, 3, or 5 mile per day average. If you miss a day, you're out. I normally don't do these types of challenges, but I'll walk most of the days, so it shouldn't interfere with strength and cycling work.

    Just an easy 2.5 mile rainy walk today. One down, thirty days to go.

    Day 15 of EPIC II - full body strength & cardio circuit workout. I usually enjoy the EPIC workouts but this was too much calisthenics and not enough weight lifting for me.

    Started the year with 3 miles under 30 and an additional walked mile with ma lady. I cut the yard as well so I’ve actually put in a nice 10 miles on the 1st day of the year. Enjoying some homemade sangria now… Happy New Year to you all.

    Jeez, I forgot to report that yesterday started with around half an hour of yoga/stretch/foam roll, before the walk-row-strength workouts. Oh, well.

    Not so good on that, today: Only around 10-15 minute of yoga/stretch, because I got up late, wanted to eat at least a snack before a Zoom thing I had scheduled.

    11,075 meters stationary bike 10k+CD, just under half an hour. Easy/moderate, peak in low Z3.

    14' of core exercises.

    Rest day tomorrow. It kind of surprises me, honestly, that I didn't blow off NY Eve or NY day.

    Last Sunday morning spin/core class today. 75minute spin ending with tabata routine, then a quick 15 minute core workout during cool down.

    Day two of winter warrior challenge, so I took my dog out for 2.5 run/walk miles. We did a 4:1 run/walk approach, though we walked a couple of the steepest hills. 2 days down, 29 to go in the challenge.
