This coming Sunday: Triathlon: 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run.

Your own body is going to take you over 70 miles of distance in one day? Wow, I am impressed, to say the least. Good luck!

I hope so. I am a terrible swimmer and we only have 1:15 to finish the swim. If I flop around, go off course, and/or hyperventilate I may be pushing that cut-off. I am not a speed demon on the bike, but I have no worries about completing it. However, due to a severely sprained ankle back in March I am not up to my usual running endurance so I will probably be doing some walking on that last 13.1 miles!

Thanks for good luck wish. I will need it.

Hour and a half weight training each day alternating upper, mid, and lower body. Pretty simple.

Nothing unusual, really:

1) 50 pushups 3 times a week.

2) 15 pullups (I hate'em. Could do only two at high school:o) 4 times a week.

Okay. I haven't lifted since my 5/31 wedding and have only ran once. Since that time, I've put on about 6 pounds and have noticed some not-so-good changes in my body (for a five week period).

Prior to this, I was very consistent for the prior two years, and this is by far the largest break I've taken.

I'm back in the game today. I'll report back later with how awful I feel.

You're hitting everything in the upper body there and not spending much time. How long have you been doing this routine (consistently) and how has it done for you?

holy christ fanch - i think i have you beat. but that said, i still have a wedding and vacation to get through...which won't be good for the ole liver. especially considering the tour we just had! i'm starting out with walking again (or stroller pushing) and taking it from there.

I am training for a half-marathon.

Yesterday: ran seven miles

Today: stretching and strength training (all this running is giving me huge shoulders!)

I did 20 min on the treadmill then jumped on the elliptical for 15 more.
Then took a pilates class.
It was awesome.

My wife teaches Pilates as a side gig. Needless to say, she has abs of steel. Stick to it!

My workout today was okay. I backed down on the weights and still struggled a bit. I didn't hurt myself and shouldn't be too sore to hit it again on Wednesday.

I do not exercise on when I am working (I work like 14hrs a day), but I only work a total of 21 weeks a year...on those weeks off:
Bike 70min to a farm (4am)
post pounding - 2 hours
bike home 70 min- its nice...home by 830am...have an hour snooze, then the day is mine. I do this like 3/4 of my day off.
+, I do 20-30 min weights every day, including work days. At least once a week I go an hour.
I also try to swim twice a week for an hour or so, but have not done that in a while.
besides that, I play a pile of sports

Been integrating elastic cable resistance to my workout. It definitely is giving me some different points of emphasis.

What exactly do you do? You mean the cable stretches??

I virtually live on the cable machine doing press or pull. Do most of my chest work on their too - gets the core involved as well. Plus you have resistance on the way back as well.

Nope never seen em before but Id definitely give it a shot. That would be interesting and looks like they can be used a lot of different way

I use the TRX a lot as well. Especially for incline push ups. Just throws in another unstable variable.
