Run/walk -- 29:39, ~2:1 ratio, felt okay
Incline Treadmill -- 11' easy, 10' @ 5.5/15% (146 hr, but ~29/30 RR)
Stairmaster -- ~30 mins, was like 8' + 4 x 3' of hard work, with arbitrary rest in between (hr in the 160s/170s)
run/walk home
Lift -- OAC neg, chins, dips, calves+rehab

Notes

cannot bear the idea of cycling into the void, so rejoined gym to have more options with cardio equipment. so much easier (for me) to get into a rhythm with treadmill walking or stairmaster. fitness is clearly a lot stronger compared to last batch of stairs/walking, which is nice, and i haven't even started getting the specific adaptations yet. (noting i did the 60 steps/min in 130s hr back in dec, will try that out soon and see where that puts me now, will try to dig up numbers of treadmill)

so like just under 90 minutes of cardio this morning, lol. keep waking up early because of the heat + new gig has a lot more flexbility with working from home means i have more time for 'luxurious' morning sessions.

yesterday felt like crap, weekend that was busy socially + a fair amount of training + introducing BSS meant I was super sleepy (i am rarely _sleepy_ as opposed to just tired) + quads were wrecked. got an extra 30 mins of sleep (all i could manage) and took an extra long walk in the morning, felt nice.

cardio x 80 mins, 118 avg

Notes

mix of outdoor run walk, elliptical, rowing, stairmaster, treadmill walking, ski-erg. reminding myself how all those gym options feel, etc. stairmaster > treadmill > ski-erg > rowing >>>>>>> elliptical in terms of 'fun'

I see you guys doing marathons and long runs and cardio and it scares me. Those are signs of us getting old. I saw Kelly Baggett with similar stuff just a while ago.

lol, fair! i will probably be reintroducing some light plyos in a few weeks, though mostly for injury prevention/running performance

Cardio x 70 mins, 118 bpm avg

Notes

mix of run/walk intervals, incline treadmill and elliptical. realised there are two styles of elliptical at the gym, so i tried the other one which turns out to fit me a bit better. idk how people do high cadence elliptical though, feels too flaily to get above like 70 rpm.

i remember his forums fondly. i posted a video of myself doing a sprint start in there one time, looking for feedback, and one of the frequent posters replied, and i quote, "sloooowwwww" lmao. CF forums and lyle mcdonald's monkey island were the best, back in the day. those two guys were both very knowledgeable assholes. wonder what lyle is up to these days.

Cardio - 70 mins, did 100 flights on stairmaster in 17:54 (avg hr 167, peak 182, felt just about subt really think the climb as much due to heat as anything) + a good amount of walk/run intervals (best these have felt!)

Lift - OAC neg (+4kg on both arms here with good control now), dips, chins, laterals, bulgarians, romanians, reverse nordics, calves, rehab work

Notes

pretty good! get so sweaty and hot doing extended harder cardio at the gym, oof. so interesting how that impacts hr. took a lot of walking before i got back under 100, even after finishing the cardio portion with like 20 mins of easy easy stuff

lol. none of these will ever match the letsrun cesspit at least. one of the last vestiges of the best/worst of the old-school internet.

lyle still very active posting angry rants on youtube or instagram. ends up in my feed now and then despite my best efforts to keep that postitive
