What Was Your Work Out Today?

@Djproulx -- that trip sounds wonderful! Glad you got to unwind!

Just two days of easy steady state cardio for me -- yesterday and today after my hard workout on Monday. Neck is feeling much, much better. Feeling like myself again.

Crushed a 20 minute Peloton Ride so far. Love AT’s Hip Hop rides

Tuesday
Climbing. 2 hours. I was a bit disappointed in the session. I guess it wasn't bad; I got two new v4s and vast horde of v3s. It was all really hard, I didn't flash anything; one the v4s took about 20 goes. This one was about 10 moves, which is long by my bouldering standards.

Thursday
Climbing.
2.75 hours
Again, my flashing skills were poor. However. I did get 3 new 6B routes. One took me about 20 goes; I fell off the top a lot. (The top wasn't hard, but it was also very long. So I was always pumped when I got there.) Good fun.

My slab climbing seems to be pretty strong at the moment. Another new route only had about 3 holds, but in my previous 7 sessions I couldn't work out how to start it. (I was trying to dyno ti a poor thumb catch; by shifting my feet against the volume I could do the move slowly.)

Did a quick 6 X 5 minute hard interval cardio session yesterday (one minute rest) -- my new favorite if I can't row -- I row on my deck and the winds were like 30 MPH yesterday. No way I'm rowing in that wind. Did first two intervals on treadmill, next on LateralX and last two on Assault Bike. Gradual HR climb from first set at around 80% max to last one at 92% max.

I have a handyman coming today. Hope to get a lift in and a steady state cardio session at lunch. We'll see, will have to play it by ear.

Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 9.99 miles, zones 2 & 3.

Handyman came and went in time for me to get my lunch hour 60 minute cardio session in. I did have to shorten my lift from five sets to four, but that's fine. Not a terrible disruption from my routine!

You know you got the workout bug when the first thing that ever comes to mind when scheduling something is, "will it interfere with me getting a workout in??".

Stationary bike again (of course) . . . another one of those times when the surprise isn't that it's a great workout (because it wasn't: 64 minutes, 82W average, 15.3 pseudo miles, nearly all Z2) . . . but that it happened at all, starting at 9:40PM, after a very busy day, so I was already kinda dragging.

Concept 2 Mud Season Madness Challenge completed as of yesterday, 5000m RowErg or 10,000m BikeErg (or a combination) on at least 25 of the 31 days in March. Still on an MFP team that's in the 3/15-4/15 World Erg Challenge. (We're not distinguishing ourselves big time, but doing OK for a tiny team.) I'm not very into team challenges, but I don't think I'm dragging the team down currently, so that's OK.

Winter(-ish) will end . . . soon, I hope - so I can do funner stuff, not so much use schedules, challenges, etc., to stay active and engaged.

30mins incline walk & 30mins Elliptical this morning to get that sweat on!

I waited most of the day for the rain to stop, so I wouldn't have to do an indoor bike workout. The weather improved around 2pm, so I saddled up and managed to squeeze in 27 miles at a 16.6mph pace. It was really very pleasant today.

Swim and run on the schedule for tomorrow.

Started with a 1000 yard recovery swim, then an 80 minute trail run this morning. This was the first week of a training build to an Olympic distance race in June. This past week consisted of 3 swims, 2 bikes, 2 runs and 2 strength sessions.

I plan to stick to a 6 day/week plan. Swim and run distances are modest at this point, as I refocus on weight loss before doing any real volume work. My bike fitness has remained fairly solid over the winter, so I'm not too worried about that discipline.
