Training Log Archive: Funderstormin

Allison convinced me to try an Orangetheory class last night...not really sure how to log each piece but it was a combination of rowing, running and strength. The concept behind the classes is that you aim to spend 12-20 minutes in the orange HR zone, and you wear a monitor the entire class, as does everyone else and you can see what people's HR% is on a big screen. Interesting concept, but it was a bit gimmicky for me and there were a few many high fives going on. That said, I did work harder than I would on my own and I've got a free week so I'm going to try one more class.

C • Very interesting idea.....I... 2

Woke up at 2:45 a.m. and never got back to sleep. Thought about bailing on this to try to get a bit more rest but knew the odds weren't great that I'd put in the time later in the day.

Treadmill run watching last night Ginger Runner live cast with Jamil Coury.

Rainy run with Tim at the Lake Erie Metropark. Flat and paved but with cool views of Canada across the water!

C • Wave as you go by! 2

Post-work run at the Hydrocut. I have no more favourite way to end the work week!

I only recently discovered that I can go into the spin studio at Good Life at a time when there aren't classes running and do a virtual class of any length. I think I like these better than the real classes as I don't have to worry about rolling my eyes at the video instructors when they are pretending we are climbing a mountain but really we are sitting on bikes indoors.
