Today's Workout Thread

[Firefighter2]

How long are your brakes between sets and I dliped and the skull crusher did almost that l, so much for really pushing myself

Roughly 1 minute between sets, I just let the muscle pump & my heart rate settle down. Have to wait at least that long or I'll have too much muscle fatigue to complete the next set, as I lift to near muscle failure.

I've been slacking since taking a new job, I never knew how hard an actual job would be
Today I got a run in though.
Did 11k in 46 minutes. Not my usual standard, but at least I got out there.

That's slacking? I hope I can get down to sub 5 min/km someday. Nice to see more runners in the thread.

28:19 of river valley stairs yesterday with a slow 1.5k warm up and cool down.

If that's slacking, I wanna be a slacker someday too.

Easy workout today. I paced my grandson on his morning run probably only a mile or so. Tomorrow I'll take the bike to my physical therapy appointment (about 12 miles round trip)

Sometimes it feels more of a workout slowing PACs to 5 year old

A good 30km ride before work this morning.

Short bike ride today. Just 14kms. But it was at top maintainable speed all the way. Including the hilly bits. If I could only achieve a slow pace on the uphill, it was the fastest I could manage while mentally flogging the 'horse' to go faster. I'm still having trouble on shaving meaningful times off on these rides though. I can't figure out why I can't even though I feel faster.

One of the things I've noticed with improved fitness from bike riding, is that your perceived effort doesn't really change because all that happens is that you are effectively getting faster. So while you're saying to yourself, you're not getting quicker, you actually are.
