October 16, 20214 yr Would you consider increasing the intensity or difficulty level of the push-ups since you're doing sets of 35+

My peak this year was 43 so I hit that. Now I just want to keep the ability to do 35. Sometimes I just do standard pushups for a lot of volume, but I also throw in a lot of variations like: spider man, diamond, close and wide grip, 1 leg off the ground, burpees, and elevated leg. Heres a video of me just goofing around with pushups.
October 16, 20214 yr Good morning happy weekend!! Long hard week of training- for today i'm headed out for a 2.5 hour bike ride followed by a 1 hour run. Good news is after tomorrows long swim and run I have an easy week and a race next Sunday!
October 16, 20214 yr I have been diligent in following my routine of two 2 mile power walks daily, and have gradually been increasing my incline, which , in turn, increases my calorie burn. Incline is up to 5%, by the end of each session. I am also doing some work with the weight bar. Nothing crazy. I just want to shape and tone a bit. This morning I went an extra quarter mile, just because I knew I could. I remain proud of my drive and determination to improve my physical stamina, and just be healthier, in general. I am impressed with my 70 year old self. 😂😂
October 16, 20214 yr I've had a down week with my lower walking ...due to tweeking my back ... Hopefully Monday I will be back on track ...I've missed it ,🙁 Edited October 16, 20214 yr by Doreensfree
October 17, 20214 yr I did an extra half mile again, this evening, for a total of 5 miles today and even increased my incline again to 5.5% for the final 2 1/4 mi. Laps. Total calorie burn 675, about what I took in so far . I haven’t yet had my dinner.

I did an 8k run yesterday and did some leg workout today. Had some distractions in life but hoping to make workout an essential activity of the day - even if it's a quick one.
October 21, 20214 yr Athletics is more mental than physical Good thing im crazy Katgirl I think you can relate anyone that chooses to hike uphill at your pace is nuts lol After all the abuse these lungs are still working Edited October 21, 20214 yr by AceWhite
October 21, 20214 yr Sorry to hear that. With the back, it may be better to take some time and let it heal properly. How did you hurt it? Just bent down ...the wrong way ....It's alot better now ...done my fast paced mile today Thank you for asking 😁
October 24, 20214 yr Mile swim- 25 mile bike- 6.2 mile run started my day off. Good times time to drain a beer
October 30, 20214 yr Recovered for a few days- getting busy once again. Headed off for a 50 mile bike ride 🚴
October 30, 20214 yr Still doing two 2 mile sessions per day, uphill the whole time, on my treadmill. Lately, I’ve had some heel discomfort, which I think is related to the incline. Some minor plantar fasciitis, me thinks. So, I have added padding to the affected heel, and lowered the incline a bit. It hasn’t caused me to slow my speed or decrease my calorie burn. So, I am still going full steam ahead, and enjoying the satisfaction of having a daily exercise routine. I could be a little more diligent with my weight work, which I tend to neglect, for some reason. Not sure what that’s about.
November 2, 20214 yr I started a Nov100 pushups a day for 30 days challenge yesterday (any combination of sets). So..., I did 100 pushups. Also went on a 3mi walk.
November 4, 20214 yr Completed LA Triathlon on 10/24 @ 3:28 Good swim and bike and a slow run but a decent finish. I know my weakness and spent the last week working on run only. Monday is the opening for registration to Ironman 70.3 Oceanside hoping to score a slot for the race 4/2/2022
