I'm going to change things up a bit starting today. Gym days (3x per week) will still be focused on weight lifting, but only one long set to failure (decreasing load as needed). Going to cut the Zone 2 bike time down to 20 minutes, then end with HIIT using Tabata timer.
First week done but I've been doing 30 minutes on the bike instead of 20 as planned in the gym. Plus one set of eight Tabata sprints at the end.
This is my third week of doing one set to failure for each weight/machine exercise, plus Tabata sprints on the bike. Good change, at least for now, and I definitely notice some improvements.
Today was supposed to be a lower body day in the gym but I went to check on an old shooting spot in the OR coastrange instead. Most of the snow was gone but still dang treacherous with loose soil and blowdown. Trekking poles were not much help without baskets but that was easiest climb down and back up so far. My legs and lungs would normally be complaining!
