Tuesday #Workout:
210 seconds of plank.
11 mins of yoga for runners.
10 mins of strength training.
10 mins of HIIT.
14 KM of #Running (-7°C, -16°C windchill, 90% humidity, and 36 KM/H wind, gusting to 50 KM/H).

Good workouts, and what a difference from yesterday - welcome to spring in #Ottawa! Everything is covered in snow again, and the wind was very gusty and blowing snow everywhere. Lots of slush near roads too.

It was tough, my shoes got wet, but it was absolutely beautiful to run in. 🧡

Continued thread

My biggest issue with upper body muscle training has always been soreness and recovery. It takes me almost a week before I can lift weights again without pain. By comparison, my legs recover much faster and are usually much less painful. This time, I’m trying to mitigate the soreness by regularly using a massage gun before the pain even settles and paying attention to my protein intake. I also found that running helps as it keeps my body active and makes me move my arms and shoulders #WorkOut

This morning's #workout #music is from #Brooklyn ’s Kaleta & Super Yamba Band - fronted by Leon Ligan-Majek, a.k.a. Kaleta who is from #Benin and lived his adolescent life in Lagos. Fans of #afrobeat and #Juju have heard him even if they don't know it as he has played with legends Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade.

His album Mèdaho is one of my favorites

Monday #Workout:
211 seconds of plank (oops!).
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
10 minutes of strength training.
15.5 KM of #Running (-4°C, -8°C windchill, 78% humidity, and 11 km/hr wind).

Good workouts, good run, though I was a bit over dressed.

Hey #Ottawa and #Gatineau! The Chief William Commanda Bridge is open! 🎉

Was aiming for closer to 13.5km today but when you make your routes up as you go, sometimes you get more KMs than planned. Worked out in the end - see how this week goes. 🤔

Sunday #Workout:
5.3 KM of #walking with @TAV (4°C, 95% humidity, and 19 km/hr wind, gusting to 30 KM/H)

Lovely morning walk in the rain to brunch, then did some #MealPrep for the week making two batches of soup.

1) Potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and yellow peppers.
2) Potatoes, corn, and red peppers.

Ich kann aus eigener Erfahrung sagen (nach zwei Wochen täglichem Rudern):

Das Rudergerät „Concept2 RowERG“ ist einfach ein geniales Ding!

Positives:
- einfache Installation
- solide
- ruhiger Lauf
- Lautstärke des Windrades ist absolut okay
- Einstellungen sind einfach
- Verbindung mit App ist super leicht
- sowohl für Frauen wie für Männer passend (meine Frau ist völlig begeistert 😇)

Negatives:
- nichts, einfach gar nichts 😇

i usually use thick yoga blocks - not only for yoga but also a lot for calisthenics and stretching too. the thick ones are more stable and i find them a lot more comfortable. lately i have seen them only in Prisma (Finland) and they also have the cork blocks - they feel different but also very good and from what i saw, they are the cheapest there. 9.99 per one block. i didn´t check prices in internet though.
but if you need couple of blocks right now - i´d recommend these ones.

Saturday #Workout:
5.4 KM of #Running (Light rain, 2°C, 85% humidity, and 29 km/hr wind).

Started day finally getting back to my 14 day sleep goal, then about four hours of readings in my comfy chair sipping tea.

Finally went out into the cold rain for another attempt at a Zone 2 run; some improvement over last week (~60% in Z2). Interesting experiment.
