Weekend Workout - Sept. 26

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend?

BQ: 90 degrees, 70 degrees, or 40 degrees?

[sadlebred]

Friday: 35 mile gravel ride
Saturday: 1 hour hard CX workout (bike, CX-=cyclocross)

Sunday: 30 mile recovery road ride

BQ: There is nothing like a hot summer day! I'll take 90 a few times during the summer. 70-75 and no humidity is perfect, though! Cyclists generally prefer warmer temps than runners. 40 is cold for us as we have a built in wind chill factor in riding.

Fri - nothing, worked late
Sat - 30 mins yoga while I watched TV
Sun - ran 10.6 mi, and went to the kids’ cross country meet. They’re exciting to watch, the times are starting to come down.

Just hanging out I’d take a perfect 70 degrees. Working out, like running outside, maybe the 40 degrees.

Friday: 5 mile run
Saturday: 10 mile run and upper body strength
Sunday: 30 minute Peloton ride

BQ: For hanging out, 70 degrees. For exercise, 40 degrees is perfection. I get really hot.

Fri: 5 mile walk
Sat: 8 mile interval run
Sun: 4.5 mile run

BQ: Currently it’s 90* which is way too hot for anything but hanging at the pool. 70* is good for regular runs (ie, not racing). 40* is too cold for everything. At 40* my fingers freeze (even with gloves on). But for racing weather, I’d rather have 40* than the others!

Fri: 30 min Peloton cycle + strength
Sat: 45 min Peloton cycle
Sun: 60 min Peloton cycle

BQ: 40 for running. 70 for all other activities. 90...no thank you.

F: 2 mile run
S: nothing
S: 5 mile run

BQ: 40 is my favorite running temp, 70 is perfect for everything else, and 90 is awful for everything.

[brooke77]

Sat: 45 min peloton
Sun: 45 min peloton

BQ: I like 40 for running. I prefer 90 (preferably no humidity) to 70 for general weather. 85 and sunny is my ideal.

Friday: run 3
Saturday: run 7, longest run since my June 2019 half marathon!

It was ... 55 degrees, close to ideal? But if you're asking what I'd pick out of those three, it's 40.

All weekend- nothing! I have a broken toe and couldn't do the half marathon I was registered to do.

I did go away still and spectated my friends running a full marathon. They all crushed it, and I talked to a really cute cop who was directing traffic for the runners.

BQ- The colder the better for running. I enjoy 80 degrees in the summer, so I can swim. Other than that.. fall weather is where it is at! Hoodies, jeans, and boots please!

melmel48, I’ve been thinking about you. Hope your toe is healing and you are feeling ok!

Thanks!

In my non-professional ortho opinion, I think things are going well! LOL. The bruising is almost completely gone; along with the swelling. Slight twinges of pain; but overall I think it should be healing perfectly.

I was able to find a patch of grass to sit down on while spectating the race yesterday, so that helped!

I will see the ortho again next week for follow up x rays.
