Tinto Day Urban around Lanark.
OK course - a tad lacking in genuine route choice legs.
Line from 3-4 went straight through 6 - which is where I went, then continued on to 7, missing out 4+5. I didn't realise till I'd already finished. Yes I should have paid more attention, but this is also rather shitty avoidable stuff for a planning perspective - to unlike the rule of thumb of avoiding putting similar numbered control codes near each other.
Slipped an slid a bit on old town paving flags - not helped by having to wear mud claws after leaving my 'road' shoes at work. One fall.
Cross train W/U - 10 mins
Step ups - 4 x10 reps each leg
SL incline squat press : 4x40kg
TRX Wide rows 3x20
TRX push up 3x10
TRX assisted SL squat 3x20 (good to be last as quads well burned by this point)
SL bridges
Twist crunch (x60)
Fondas - Right side only
Took advantage of opportunity to book physio appointment for my journey home from work meeting in Edinburgh (Sorry Heather!)
Looks like current knee issue of sudden failure basically coming down to significant strength loss that occurred during the period of virus infection during the summer. Basic jist is to get back into strength training with gusto!
Advised to switch away from SL quad extension machine to more 'closed chain' exercises. These won't isolate quad as well, but will be more functional and put less stress through knee joint.
Didnt deal with the ongoing issue with lower / trans abs.
[None of the usual bike commute today - but at least some extra kms of walking]
