I dont swim but the Garmin 735xt is designed to be used for swimming and you create all sort of workouts.

Monday mayhem 30min session with trainer. Warmed up with boxing then a 20min amrap, each round consisting of 10 kicks (each side) 40 punches 10 squat jumps Hill sprint Managed 10 rounds, had to push extra hard to finish the last round. Shoulders and arms Re-habbing my elbow is nearly done can do almost everything now. Just…

Sunday - active rest day. 1hr piyo live, love how much this eases my doms 2mile recovery run taking in my challenge hill

To give you a clue on what to wear in the weather we've got now. I'm in the UK on the essex/Suffolk border and have just been out in shorts and a vest top. Plenty warm enough after the first couple min

The best time is whenever you are willing to commit. I far prefer running in the cold/rain/snow than in the middle of summer

3 runs today. Started with parkrun. (The Castle) Then another 3.1miles in the form of the elephant social run. Extra proud of this, I'm autistic and dont run with people. I had every intention of wearing my earphones and running by myself (even though it was a social run). Ended up running the whole thing with someone, no…

Friday. 1hr with trainer, she said I was gonna hate her the last few days and I have. Combination of on the minute every minute burpees (starting from 1 up to 20) and trx exercises (squats with knee raise/press/shoulder press/side lunge hop/tricep extensions/Arnold press/side bends/frogger hops). Then a finisher of 5…

I only ever go up to 10.5miles training for a half, sometimes not even that. Half before last my PT only had me go up to 8miles. But for 6months of the year I'm running a race every couple weeks, so I'm pretty much in a training plan for 10months. (I get 2 months off now yay)

Thursday : 30min PT, omg I hated her after this. Was supposed to have been 400m runs interspersed with 50 squat jumps, 50 press ups and 50 sit ups, but ended up being more like 1/2 mile runs. And not at my pace, oh no, she pushed me right out of my comfort zone to run at a pace of her choosing. Then I went to the gym and…

From exercise around 4000, but I ran a marathon that day. Other than when I'm running crazy differences my record was 2400 exercise calories in a day plus my 1600 that I burn just being alive. That was a crazy day though, with a 3mile mile run, hour of PT, zumba class, 2hr gym session, insanity class, boxercise and school…

Happy hump day. 6am sprints with my trainer. Pretty tough this morning. 30min interval run taking in my challenge hill, today I chose to try running up it at the end of my run. 45min PiYo 45min zumba
-
Well done, great time for your first. Watch out it gets addictive.
-
Yay it's Tuesday, when my workout week starts to really ramp up. Really struggled to find my mojo first thing, struggled through my 30 min interval run. Got to end of the road and wanted to stop, got to the bottom of my challenge hill and wanted to stop, got to the top of the hill and was amazed I'd not stopped. 30 min…

I do very little actual ab work (well when compared to everything else I do). Do some sit ups, leg raises etc in class... ...what I do do is compound lifting, which works the core. Plus I've recently started doing PiYo daily and this week my core is really feeling the love. Lots of planks, down dogs, and balancing is…

Monday. (Get moving Monday has turned in to kick up the bum monday now I have no sunday races) 30min session with PT - not the most pleasant. Boxing to warm up then the main event. Starting at 10 working down to 1 and then back up, amrap. Punches Jacks Press ups Froggers Shoulder taps Squat jumps Lunges Burpees Star jumps…

1hr beachbody on demand piyo live. - needed a good stretch and this is one of the best ways to do it. 2mile night run taking in my challenge hill. Day 12 of 30 today, and the furthest I've run in the dark on my own.
-
With breathing my PT has me concentrate on the out breath rather than in. I try not to think about the in breath at all.
-
I hate rest day and am notorious for whinging throughout the day that all I'm allowed to do is stretch and a very short run.
-
Saturday. 3mile easy run taking in my challenge hill. Bootcamp - trx and running. On the plus side no burpees on the negative lots of muscle burning lower body. I may do a little piyo stretch and strengthen later and definitely a foam roll but apart from my usual runs that's me done till monday.
-
I use beachbody but only really for the piyo classes. I use them to help me relax and stretch out a couple of times a week
-
That should have been it, but was feeling really stressed so decided to do an hour long PiYo Live class on beachbody on demand. Followed by 12min high effort on the rower.

I have Ehler danos syndrome type 3, and just today a Facebook memory came up where my knee had popped out 3 days earlier and I was still unable to walk. I used to sublex or dislocate on a very regular basis sometimes simply falling to the floor. Now I strength train and exercise my rate b of injury has gone down to once in…

Friday. 60min PT - trx and slam ball. She got the 10kg slam ball out today and I'm shocked at how much upper body strength I've lost in the last month. Really need to work and build it back up, I was jumping with 10kg ball.slams, not a chance of the today. Had a progression on tricep extensions, when she told me to…

Thursday 30min PT- stair workout- cardio -hard work 1hr physiotherapy appointment- we normally do this over the phone but ive got the sore elbow (turns out it was most probably a sublexation and I can now slowly start building back up). I have hypermobility syndrome (eds) and she was really happy with improvements in my…

Wednesday. No PT this morning so I decided to combine my weekly sprint session with my hill challenge, by doing fartlek up the hill. Omg that was such hard work. Then went in the gym to do some liss on the bike followed by arm and shoulder work. Really happy with how rehabbing my elbow is going, managed to add in some…

I always found the opposite with Fitbit, found it overly generous by around 25%. I now use a Garmin and it's far more realistic
-
I have Eds hypermobility type, I guess you would say it's a condition. I live with a background level of pain, and I live with it I very rarely let it stop me doing anything. I tire quicker than I would if I didnt have the condition, but I've no idea how quickly I would tire without, I run marathons, not fast but I run…

How about trying PiYo, it's not as.jumpy as some of the programs but it's still intense and its so good for flexibility. I go to a class once a week and am always drenched in sweat and can feel I've had a really good workout. And as a bonus I'm far more flexible (I'm a runner and we are notoriously inflexible) and easier…

Tuesday 40min interval run, yes including that hill again. Strava is thoroughly sick of that hill, only 23 days to go. 30min PT, full of DOMS but no sympathy, hill sprints broken up with 100 squats, 100 burpees and 100 press ups (all on my toes). Let's just say I swore a few times. 45min zumba - I wasnt as bouncy as usual…
