Beer Drinkers' Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2020 Version - ALWAYS OPEN (Page 19)

My daughter's swim team was still scheduled to practice today at my gym, until the Governor shut down all bars, restaurants, theaters, and gyms.  Our swim coach sent out a really nice email about it about trying to keep some sort of normalcy during this crisis by keeping swim practice going.

It's been under a day and my wife and daughter are driving me crazy already. 

If peeps need at home workouts I can recommend: Karen Hauer - YouTube She is on the UK equivalent of Dancing with the Stars. 

The Guardian also did a whole list:  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/mar/15/from-yoga-to-crossfit-the-10-best-online-home-workouts

I get to do 10 mins lowest gear on mine. Woo hoo!

Only did my rehab instead as my leg has only just stopped hurting. will ride tomorrow instead and throw some core work/arm workout in for good measure.

Day 3 of the lockdown with the family.    They're both doing the Insanity workout video series, which is, well, insane.  LOL

Got in a really good trainer ride yesterday, 10 x 2' @ 105% with 1' RBI @ 55-60%.  Sneaky tough as you don't get full recovery with the higher efforts  on recovery.

We're 95% sure of cance.ling our April Florida trip - I've moved my lodging booking to June and will cancel the flights once we get a little closer (much easier to rebook the condo vs. the flights, and they're Southwest so you can full refund/voucher on everything up until 10 minutes before you fly anyway).

Also, with USA Cycling cancelling everything at least through the end of April AND not having access to a pool, or a treadmill, or my normal weight training equipment, or the yoga studio, I've made a bunch of modifications to my training plan as I don't have to race until at least May.  Our gym has given us access to all of the Les Mills online videos so there's plenty to do.

We also went to the local grocery store when they opened at 6 AM this morning...zero meat, but plenty of most other things.  We needed to get stuff for my MIL who is self-quarantine-ing and only eats like three things.  So we had a cart full of soup and yogurt.  And Ben & Jerry's ice cream, in case it REALLY goes south. 

Hope everyone is doing OK out there.  Interesting times.

Managed my 1.5 miles on my trainer; leg didn't hurt too much until about 7-8 minutes in. Arm workout later and leg rehab too. 

How everyone else getting on?

Urgh! Sorry to hear that! 

If anybody wants some good news I am attempting my first ever consecutive trainer ride today for my injury. Woo Hoo! I then have:

Hey, you asked for it. 

That's a brutal workout - 8' @ 105% is roughly the output level of an FTP test.  It's trying to get your body to adapt to repeating those efforts AFTER you've depleted your glycogen/sugar stores by burning fat at higher effort levels.  You're not used to it, so you crash spectacularly towards the end.  Considering you haven't done much of that effort level lately I'm surprised your coach would hammer you with that.

My day was significantly easier, 75' total with 3 x 15' @ 80% while watch the MD governor's press conference today and some of Stage 3 of Paris-Nice.

Mine was 10 minutes whilst watching 2016 Arctic Race of Norway Stage 3 (knew I'd kept the recording for a reason...). Various core, arm and rehab work and a 1 minute 10 second plank! 

Nice!

Thanks! This working from home malarkey is making me do a lot more exercise!
