Weekend Workouts - June 13

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend?

BQ: Do you do anything differently nutrition wise during your workouts when it's hot?
(Message me with some BQ ideas!)

Friday: Off
Saturday: 43 mile road ride
Sunday: 23 mile gravel ride

BQ: I take magnesium tablets to help with cramping. I may also use a drink mix (Infinit Nutrition) that I don't use in winter.

Friday-heavy lifting day. Last of this cycle, and I rocked it with some nice PRs!

Saturday-15 mile solo skate at 14 mph avg pace. I havemt skated solo in a while, and i forgot how much i enjoy it.

Sunday-heat induced rest day. Was supposed to do a longer training skate with a friend who is preparing for a marathon next weekend, but it was 80 degrees at 5 a.m., so we bailed. Current temp:110. Eek!

BQ: I drink some type of Nuun or other hydration multiplier before and after skating, and am more mindful of my water consumption during to ensure i dont run out. I drink a ton of water throughout the day afterwards to replenish. I dont do anything special when lifting in the heat (my home gym is outside), i just drink more water during.

Fir: rest day
Sat: 7 mile tempo run + 2 mile walk + some pool time
Sun: 3.5 mile run with hills

BQ: I don’t do much different. I take frozen water with me, and I try to run laps by my car so I can take some Gatorade chews on my runs beyond 8 miles. Oh! And I make it a point to drive to the shady trail. But then when I get home, I drink a bunch of Gatorade and eat ice cream 🤣

Fri - did 10.6 mi on the gym bike, lifted - 8 machines x2
Sat - ran 3 mi with DD1
Sun - ran 4 mi, 1 hr yardwork, family walk 3.75 mi
BQ: I just try to hydrate and not work out outside when it’s super hot if I can help it.

Friday - ran 5
Sat - 1 hour trainer ride
Sun - open water swam ~3/4 mile.  skipped my "long" run (step back week, so it was only an hour) too much shit going on.  Only workout I missed this week though, so...compared to my usual MO that's not bad at all.

I probably ought to think through more if my nutrition plan for hot weather should be tailored in some way...

Friday: yoga/fascial release
Saturday: half marathon! It went so much better than I expected. Cooler temps (70 instead of the usual 85) helped so much. It's one of my favorites, an "unofficial" road race done by a local running club.
Sunday: walked 8 miles volunteering.

BQ: I take SaltStick pills during or after a long run, prevents me from getting stomach cramps. Otherwise just consciously hydrating before/after.

Fri. walked 9k
Sat & Sun only gardened. It is so hot and I had to choose between spending the cooler hours on gardening or exercising. My yard looks pretty great though.
Mon: short but incredibly steep 6k hike

BQ: I take more water and a snack that has some salt. Overall I eat more salads.
