Do you Run?……Walk?….Bike?…..Swim?…..yoga?…..lift weights? What’s your workout plan?

Compression sock?

Yup.
I refuse to wear the black or white ones.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Do they come in orange, though?

They are on the way.

I’ve been attempting to ride at a higher cadence. I was advised to ride in lower gears in order to reset my muscle memory to the higher cadence. I was advised that the higher cadence would put less strain on my legs and enhance my endurance for longer rides. I didn’t expect this exercise to result in achieving a personal best for today’s ride, as I’ve achieved higher speeds over parts of this course in the past.

Despite what I said Sunday, I felt so good I went ahead and ran yesterday. Day 2 of week 8/9 of the c25k complete.

Anyone know why virtual/trainer cycling seems so much harder than actually being out there?

 

[Hunter10139]

My guess is it's more boring since you're stuck in one place.

No breeze?

That’s always been my theory, but I seem so much more tired. I use Zwift so I at least get to watch the monitor as if I’m going somewhere, but it always seems more exhausting

No breeze?

I do know I need to install a ceiling fan in my bike room for sure

Week 8/9 done. Each day was 28 straight minutes of running surround led by 5 min warmup and 5 min cooldown. One more week and I'll finish a c25k for the first time ever. Foot is a little sore but I'll take 1-2 running rest weeks after finishing.

Finished up 2 straight weeks of running 3mi in the early morning. Finally got my thyroid back in shape as well so the weight is starting to come off again. Amazing how much better old knees feel when you take 20lb off of them.

Other than that I play ice hockey twice a week which is amazing cardio and leg workout. Going to add an evening weight session back in soon. Trying to make old age not suck as bad

 

[Orangeslice13]

Heated Vinyasa this morning came to a screeching halt (for me) with about 5 minutes left in the class. If anyone needs me I’ll be in the floor in child’s pose trying not to die.
I’m signed up for a Tuesday morning class at 9:15.

What doesn’t kill you…..doesn’t kill you.

Day 1 of week 9 of the C25k done. Hit record but not start on the strava app so no splits. Notifications were a bit wonky so I ran for almost a minute more than the 30 planned.

Bike ride: 20 miles, 716’ elevation gain, 1:28 riding time.

Mid 60 degree temperatures at 6:20am felt like a cheat code today.

16 miles with 10 at marathon pace.

Yeah today feels like fall, it felt like a cheat code for me too.

It's crazy to me how far you can run at that pace. Nice job

Thanks! I chalk it up to an excess of free time that allows me to rack up the miles.

 

[Velo Vol]

30 miles this eve.

Even though I'm only riding once or twice a week, I feel better, and am slightly faster than a month ago.

In quantities too pathetic to mention, I have been doing a bit more dumbbell lifting and a few pushups in hopes that my upper body strength might someday match that of a 12-year-old. #Goals

 

[Hunter10139]

Week 9, Day 2 done. Just one more to go.

 

[Tin Man]

Bike ride: 36.62 miles. 766’ elevation gain, 2:29 riding time

Another personal best avg speed 14.7mph. There’s something to these cadence drills.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Hot vinyasa. 1 hour. Didn’t die

 

[TBrown]

5 miles today and 7 hill relays

 

[Hunter10139]

Week 9, Day 3 done. That's one C25k program complete! I think I'll take a rest week from running for my joints and then I'll jump into a 10k program.

Wind is a pretty big variable, so comparing rides isn't necessarily apples-to-apples.

But when I restarted riding at the end of June I was doing the route near my house in the mid to upper 14 mphs. Last evening it was 15.4 mph.
