Gorgeous summer like day on the mountain. I just love it. I went to the lake today and had the place to myself for almost 2 hrs. Did a set of water running and it was harder than expected. Also today, did some upper body and some 40m hill sprints.
I definitely felt the pump in my quads after a few reps of water running. I dd 4 sets of 60 (L+R) strides. Each set takes about 80 sec, and 60 sec rest in between. Then I did some short hill sprints. Like with any type of running, some minor pain on the first 2 reps that goes away. I do notice that paying attention to my form and keeping it aligned helps alleviate knee pain.
Water running
4 x 60 (L+R) strides w/ 1 min rest
Hill sprints

Also have been trying to develop my core and doing various resistance exercises. My most recent measurements on the Hume pod show a slight increase in muscle mass and decrease in body fat despite being heavier, about 145 lbs.
Definitely living in paradise. It reached 84º here in Sewanee. By contrast it was 98º with a heat index of 108º down the mtn in Murfreesboro.
My almost 40 yr old motorcycle gets me there.
