Today's Workout Thread

[carlmaloschneider]

I hate missing doing some sort of activity, normally these days it's climbing four days a week with some cycling thrown in. I've stopped the gymnastic ring workouts as I hurt my shoulder, and I think I need to take a whole week off from climbing as my fingers hurt too. It'll be hard to go for a week doing nothing and it'll be too dark at night when I get home to ride the bike (I don't have lights).

Went climbing yesterday, just some easy stuff as I get used to my solo top rope setup. I'd like to get into roped climbing a lot more...
Did the route to the left among others. It's only a grade 16 but the overhangs made it feel harder for me...

I had a workout session with a personal trainer team today. The warm-up consisted of biking, jogging,lunges, squats, pushups, and more. The main routing was squat jumps 2 sets of 10 reps, Weighted squats 3 x 10, weighted lunges (my legs were jelly at this point and I couldn't do them), bridges 3 sets of 15 seconds, crunches 2 sets of 25, single-leg balances 3 sets of 15 sec. The cool-down was 3 min. on the exercise bike followed by a stretch routine.
I'm pretty happy that I made it through as well as I did. My legs are already protesting and I'm not looking forward to tomorrow in that regard.

That sounds like it was some hard-core cardio...that will burn whatever fat you've got off you in no-time and get you in great shape! Good for you, keep at it and you'll be a new man and on a great journey. I get crabby now if I don't get to the gym....

That sounds like a very intense workout, you'll be feeling it for a while! Let us know when you can stand on your feet again. LOL

Oh, boy my legs are sore. Getting up and down stairs has been very difficult today.

[Firefighter2]

I believe it! Hope the discomfort subsides soon, and leads to good gains.

I finally broke two personal records in my running this last weekend.
I did a half marathon in less than an hour and a half, and managed a full marathon in 3h 10m.
My goal for the summer is to do the full marathon in under 3h.
To achieve that I'm now doing six runs a week.
1 long (+2,5 hours), one or two interval sessions and three to four regular runs on about 1 to 1,5 hours.
I still need to run most of my runs on a threadmill, my crushed foot is still not quite ready for all hard surfaces.
The good thing with that is that I get to catch up on all the series I'm watching on netflix/hbo

I've started to use Hoka One One running shoes and that has helped me get out more. Real smooth runners with extreme cushioning for all us oldtimers/damaged runners

Ran my first 5k on the weekend. It seems the chip in my bib didn't work, so I have no idea what my time was. But I did run the whole thing, so that was good enough for me.

Also, I do November Project here and we have finally got back into Commonwealth stadium(local football staduim) this morning, and for the first time I was able to complete the upper west deck in under 30 mins, even made it 1/4-1/3 of the way back.

Beautiful day here in Maryland so checked out the singlespeed (48x18) and headed out to the rolling hills for a quick 11 mile ride.....after a long winter I noticed that some practical joker changed my gearing and the ride was significantly more difficult!
