Beer Drinkers' Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2020 Version - ALWAYS OPEN (Page 25)

Shoveling gravel definitely counts as a strength and core workout.  LOL  Nice work on fitting that in with your training.

Welcome back! What beer do you like?

Of course, Chris.  Welcome back.  Glad you finally got over that injury - that's a tough one.  Any races planned (cancelled or not)?

Hi, all.  More trainer work over the last three days with all the rain we've had lately.  Friday was a 40' primer workout, Saturday a 15-ish mile circuit race on Zwift (55th out of 85, executed this race pretty well other than one mistake where I lost my group when we passed a smaller pack and I got hung on to the wrong group for a few seconds, which is all it takes to get dropped - oh, and I got out kicked by a U12 rider LOL).  Sunday was about 75' Z2 riding around Yorkshire, still on  the wrong side of the road.    Lots of core work this weekend, too. 

One of the changes we've had is that we don't set alarms in the morning anymore, which as been awesome.  I usually get up at 515 AM but there's not reason to now with no forced workout or school schedule other than my daughter and I need to be at our desks around 830 AM for work and school.  So we've been "sleeping in" every day to between 6 and 630, so I'm waking up naturally.  I used to think I could live on six hours, need seven hours, and want eight hours of sleep a night but am re-thinking that to add another 30-45 minutes to that as I've consistently been getting over eight and the difference in my training/mood/energy has been pretty dramatic.  Of course, this will all go to hell in a handbasket once things open up again and 6 AM yoga class or 545 AM swim sessions return.

Hope you all have a great week!

Can't help myself  

8 miles for me on the correct left hand side of the road! And then just a quick arm w/o. Physio mate said to save core work (as it includes planks) for non riding days so i don't aggravate the injury. Felt weird not doing loads after I got home. 

Hope everyone doing as ok as possible!

I don't think you get the concept of a rest day, Gretchen.

We need some pics when it's all done.

Owie!!!! On a gentler note I managed 35 minds core/rehab work. I am having a hard time working my obliques. What do my fellow beer drinkers do for those?

5 mile ride and arm w/o today; leg not too bad but arms were tough today.

How everyone else getting on?

I have never run outside with headphones on.  I guess that wasn't an option when I started running (in 1982!!!!) and never really got into the practice.  I do have different music tracks for indoor cycling workouts...I can do a movie on Netflix, etc. or watch the Tour de France or something like that when doing lower effort work, but need some music to nail races or really touch interval workouts.

^^^ This.  And side planks or scissor kicks.
