Today's Workout Thread

Ah, I was tinkin' you only whent to run the stairs ant it would had saved you the trip there, while depriving you if the scenery.

Nope, never. We have the largest urban green space in North America in our river valley, with more than enough stairs.

We had a public holiday today. Went out with mates and ended up with a 120km singlespeed ride.

Followed that up with a barbecue (or as us Saffers like to call it, a braai) with a number of lagers to rehydrate and now I'm about to crash!

Drink 6 lagers, lift and call me in the morning

No hills this morning, down in Salt Lake City for November Project summit, people from all 25 cities meeting up in one place for a morning workout. Burpees, squat jumps, stair sprints, and a couple somersaults(which I injured my shoulder doing).

Tomorrow, a marathon relay on a ski hill outside of SLC.

Not really a workout but...four mile hike doing trail maintenance. Mostly weed whacking and chopping back scrub brush and thorn bushes.

Having done something similar many times before, I'm going to argue in favour of calling it a workout.


Today for me, was what is increasingly becoming my 'short' ride, just a tad over 36 kms. My times and average speeds are improving, though I still have a long way to go to get to the averages I really want. I'm happy to take whatever improvement I can get. There is a definite lack of decent hill climbs in my area, and I never would have said that last year. The few hills around here are short and nasty, but are becoming less challenging. I still have another chainring to go through before I call challenge complete though. When I can do them in top gear I'll be satisfied...And sad at the same time, because then I will have to head further afield in search of better. On the bright side, it will mean more riding time.

I went and joined the local Parkrun community this morning for the 5km parkrun. I did a nice easy 2.7km warmup and after the parkrun, ran home. Total was 9km. My legs though felt extremely heavy which is not surprising considering the cycle I did on Thursday.

Well done.

I see Edmonton is approx 645m ASL, so you had quite an increase in elevation for the run which would have made the run a lot harder.
