🧘🏼‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️Getting Sweaty Again: The 3rd Circuit 🚴🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️

[Endless_Night]

Wanna run with me?

Yes!

I don't know how you run subzero without tripping your asthma. I'm also going to expose my ignorance and ask what are the bands under your knees?

Working on getting back in shape

Wow, for some reason I thought you were older. I'm glad you're getting back into what you like

Good morning All

Thanks for the positive vibes; my dad is out of the hospital, and doing a lot better. Although now he’s facing the hurricane, but he seems to not be fazed about that.

Those of you who live in areas that are prone to bad weather, I don’t know how you do it. Storms scare me. The wind and the energy - no thanks

Continuing along the foul weather train of thought, do you let the weather influence your workout or do you just plod on, rain or shine? (I suppose if you’re always indoors for workouts, this might not apply.).

 

[Wonderer67]

I don’t wanna work out today, but I’m dragging my ass outta bed.

Was gonna donRowing machine today but I dicked up my back over the weekend. I’ll try it and see how it feels. If not, fallback to the spinning bike or elliptical.

Hello!!

Done with today's workout. It was not easy, but it made me feel pretty strong and capable afterwards!
And, as always - Remember to hydrate.

@Endless_Night - the bands under my knee, that is my knee straps, for runner's knee and other silly knee pain that sometimes occur. I am sadly not as strong in all of my joints as I would like (my ankles and feet are my weak areas), but it is nothing that should or ought to stop me from running.
I just need to be a bit more attentive and prevent any injuries from happening.
Also, I once fell on ski, in Denmark.. On flat ground, in a forest.. and needed knee surgery afterwards.
Have I ever fallen on the slopes.. no!

With those straps, and for me the right shoes, I am actually mostly completely free of knee pain.

@Love_Is_Blonde
The weather.
Does it affect my training?

The short answer - "kinda"

I mean, so I am a cold runner, I prefer the cold (@Endless_Night, the reason why I can keep my asthma under control.. I suppose it is because of the humidity, the colder it gets the lower the humidity. Up here it is kinda high.. All year, and somehow it gets easier to breathe when it is subzero.. obviously, when it goes below -10°C I will need a buff to breathe through, otherwise the cold air will hurt a bit. But, truly.. it is so much more comfortable.. I might be an outlier, or just used to it ).
So when it gets warm, I need to be aware of not only the sun (sun allergy), but also the temperature and how much water I need to bring. Running in the city is easy though, there are water posts on my running route.
I do not mind rain, as long as it is not torrential rain!
Wind.. again, a little wind is okay.. But not much. I would say.. wind might be the weather condition I am the weakest against, wind and the sun.

Hi all, just an update on my, admittedly, very slow progress. Work and the slow change to my eating and alcohol habits (don't want to rush things.) all getting in the way.
But I'm now off for a few days and aiming to be positive.
For the first time ever I videoed myself exercising, it's a great way to assess your form, might do some more.
Sharing it for a wee while

That is seriously cool, squats with a snatch-row?

- Videoing is the most honest and effective feedback, and makes it so much easier to find the right form.

Looking strong and good - was it a good workout?

 

[sallysparrow23]

Looking good everybody!!

We've had strep and pneumonia running through our house so my workouts have been off but I'm still trying to do something each day. I'm not sick but one of my kiddos has been down for almost three weeks now. I've been doing lots of balance work to prep for skill assessments in roller derby this week.

Ugh!! Hang in there, and hope everyone gets better soon.. And that you do not catch anything.

It was just ok.

So... What am I doing right now? Breathing before continuing my run.

No exercise for me today, I'm fighting a cold/flu and maybe a bit of pneumonia.
What do you listen to when you run?

 

[sallysparrow23]

Last night I had my skill assessments at roller derby and I've officially moved up to level two training.

I'm so proud of myself and of the women I'm training with. We've come a long way, and now we get to start knocking each other down. We were on the rink skating last night for two hours and I'm wiped out this morning. After assessments we started working on weaving in and out of cones, and lateral jumping which I thought looked scary as hell but turned out to be not so bad. In a few more weeks we'll be assessed and if we pass we make the team. Here we go!

Congrats!!
The whole roller derby is a crazy thing in its own, but you are doing it!!
In my eyes, you might be one of the most fearless and impressive people I know!


Myself? - it was a floor training kinda day for me. My ankle was being obnoxious.

I don’t know if I should “like” this or put a sad face. I’m going to put a heart face because it’s you.. but I’m sorry your ankle is bothering you.

 

[Dirtyoldhornyman]

I take a variety of supplements, but the one that has made a huge difference is a nitric oxide booster. It helps put more oxygen in your blood. Most workout powders have some in it.
My aches and pains are gone, I have more energy, it helps the old cock get some extra blood flow, and who doesn’t need more oxygen.
Take a couple a day. Get it on Amazon.
Highly recommend!!

It is going to heal.. I have weak tendons, so this is sadly something I need to deal with.
And - I became cocky, having been running trails this whole holiday, I wanted to push myself further.
That is usually the first class ticket to silly injuries.
So, no golf today, no running tomorrow.

It is my own fault, it is not something new, I should know better.. but, feeling curious, cocky and courageous. Made me lose focus and attention.

I think, hopefully.. I will be back on my feet in a couple of days.

Luckily, I can still do upper body strength, and floor training.

Continuing along the foul weather train of thought, do you let the weather influence your workout or do you just plod on, rain or shine? (I suppose if you’re always indoors for workouts, this might not apply.).

Yes. At least for running. Rain is enjoyable to run it, but too cold kicks up my asthma. Extreme heat is just a plain ole health hazard. I never run outside if it's above 95°F and prefer not to above 90°F.

- the bands under my knee, that is my knee straps, for runner's knee and other silly knee pain that sometimes occur.

Ah. I see.

- the reason why I can keep my asthma under control.. I suppose it is because of the humidity, the colder it gets the lower the humidity. Up here it is kinda high.. All year, and somehow it gets easier to breathe when it is subzero.. obviously, when it goes below -10°C I will need a buff to breathe through, otherwise the cold air will hurt a bit. But, truly.. it is so much more comfortable.. I might be an outlier, or just used to it ).

Huh. Perhaps it's a matter of what you're used to? I'm on the Texas coast, and the humidity here is incredibly high during the summer. (Often the winter, too. ) The cold air of winter - if we have one - just tightens up my lungs.

- Videoing is the most honest and effective feedback, and makes it so much easier to find the right form.

I . . . really am going to have to start doing this at some point.

Wow. That all looks so high tech! I just elevate with an injury. Now I realize I'm a complete slacker.

(Sorry about the ankle. )

Interesting. . . .
