What training are you doing/have you done today? (Vol.3)

[Carl_Manchester]

Thursdays session, it was the 2nd session back from lockdown and based on previous lockdowns it will take approx 6 weeks for my heart and lung capacity to return, as it stands my body red lines all the way through my session.

65km on the bike today.

Lots of sprinting efforts. Feeling it now.

Bloody hell, what training was that- running?

I chainsawed a large hedge yesterday, that should be an olympic sport as its such hard work!

elliptical cross-trainer, used to weight train but am too old now and back is shot.

Yikes and here I am failing to manage a single workout since Ramadan started. Although in my defence my sleep pattern is all out of whack

I started Couch to 5k in January and when I finished the program decided I wanted to push for 10k in another 5 weeks by adding 1km each week.

Well, on Friday I ran my first 10k and am absolutely thrilled with myself.



My plan for the next few weeks is to improve my average pace to below 5 minutes/km. There are two routes I run, this one along the beach which is pretty flat and gives me an average pace of between 5:10 and 5:20 depending on the day, and another on the heath which is usually a bit slow around the 5:30 mark thanks to a bd big hill half way through which knocks me right out.

Tonight I'm aiming to do that heath run (about 5km) in 5:15/km pace.

5x800m intervals with 3 mins rest period.
6-7 pullups, 12 dips and 12 leg raises in each rest period.

Dragged myself to the gym. As always enjoyed it, it’s getting there that’s the battle.

Back and biceps today. Aiming for two gym sessions this week and to log the weights in lifting to see how my strength improves. Quite weak atm sadly for what I could lift.

[mcelliott]

Swim around the bay, then a lumpy 43km on the bike, just over 33kph, then 110 pull ups, diet sleep and recovery all on point.

[Animal]

5km walk home through the forest from my son's nursery then 4x12 kettlebell row, 4x12 upright row, 4x12 towel kettlebell curl, 4x15 kettlebell concentration curl.

Monday: Bench, OHP, EZ curls, 20 or so pull ups.
Tuesday: Easy 9K (6min/km)

Recent bloodwork suggestive of "Post viral fatigue" (low cell cell counts -"long COVID"?). So keeping weight up but dropping to three sets rather than four and trying to have more rest. A very annoying setback given how much I look after myself these days.

Aiming for squat, deadlift, and Pendlay rows later today but will need to see it goes.

I’m backing off training until the gyms open here on Monday. Today I messed around with a sledgehammer and bent some 6” nails
