Yeah, between hitting my 30s, and getting out of a very physical job, it’s been a struggle, and a learning experience.
Todays ride

Did some gravel last night and the trainer tonight, got the HR to 147 avg last night and 170 max tonight with a 146 avg. Second pic is one of the gang with a flat.
My wife keeps trying to get me to commit to some sort of workout routine. I’m just too daggum lazy. I don’t mind physical exertion when working but working out just doesn’t excite me. However, I suppose the fact that I do physical labor for work keeps me in the decent shape I consider myself to be in. Of course I’d like to be stronger but I’m stout enough to achieve quite a bit. I’d say my biggest challenge is cardio. I get winded pretty easy running which I don’t do much.
I commend those of you who are committed to work on your physical condition!

I know right where you're at!
I lifted weights yesterday - ran six miles at Turkey Mtn on Wednesday.
More running today.
What app are you using for the cycling? I'm trying to get back into riding and have been using whatever came with the Galaxy watch. It's ok, but not great.
Somehow I lost my riding legs by just taking off 20 years. First few weeks back weren't fun, but it's getting better.
I need to take a crack at measuring my max heart rate. The formulas put me riding at 90% max range. So, either they are wrong, or I'm getting ready to have a fatal event. I know that my max is higher than the formula says, but not sure how much.
Strava here also, on the trainer I use a HR monitor off Amazon, Garmin watch and connect app when outside.
Still following this guy's advice.
