I have a friend who has always been fast as fuck (as compared to me) at 5k distances. He's started slowing down, and I've been speeding up. I was only 2.5 seconds behind him at this last race. It was a staggered start, so neither of us knew who won until the end.

He now says he's going to retire, so I can't beat him.
 
In light of my COVID 40 and us not liking no direction we've taken to digital training.
We recently got an Ergatta and so far so good on that. We have a Tonal being installed tomorrow that I'm excited to try out

In preparation for the installation, I'll be drinking the remaining beer in my fridge tonight.

Is it Shiner? I forget, are you still in Tejas?

Yeah I'm still in good o'l San Antonio but it was not Shiner. I prefer hazy IPAs these days so I started life with Alamo Amber and then switched over to a Hopadillo IPA for dinner and then straight to Bullet Rye Whiskey as my apertefe. My wife thinks I have a drinking problem.. I distinctly recall having the ability to drink at will which doesn't SOUND like a problem to me.. Not sure what she's on about.

Tonal experience review :
The electro magnetic resistance is fucking weird and fucking awesome at the same time. You can't cheat the weight because it dynamically adjusts it based on effort which is such a cool concept. Moving around the arms was a little clunky at first but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy and quick. Whats more interesting to me is all the data on the screen. Real time heart rate, effort, weight calculation and total number of pounds lifted since the start of the workout. So far, so good.

bike trainers have used a primitive version of electromag resistance for a long time to generate "difficulty" .
 
Wow, we just got back from a five mile run. I can telll you that five miles in June in Maryland is WAAAAY different than five miles in June in Florida.

This is wonderful.

5 days straight of ye o'l tonal and I'm enjoying the short duration but thorough workouts. They're around 20-24 minutes and chock full of weight resistance. I started throwing in the Ergatta right after for some heart rate workouts and I'm finding I really enjoy the gamification of the rowing machine. 10/10 will sit my fat ass on the water rower again starting Monday.
