#ropeskipping — Public Fediverse posts

Quite a fast one (for me) today. On a 750 meters long steep climb, I ran past a cyclist whom I met later on on top of the hills, both of us smiling broadly. But I was really happy to keep my speed up: Usually, I get up there with a pace of 5:50-6:10, today it was 5:11 – yay! My current audiobook (THE NAME OF THE WIND by Patrick Rothfuss) is ideal to push me on. And I even managed to do my #RopeSkipping afterwards. #Running #coros #Apex4 #audiobooks

#Running and #RopeSkipping done for today – this week was filled with a lot of satisfying work: We built a new wall in our very large basement room and made two rooms out of it. I can still feel some of that work in every part of my body (and in my bruised left thumb), but it was worth the three days of almost constant work. #coros #apex4

Winter is having a comeback: right now, there’s an awful lot of snow coming down upon us… But, luckily, I was out and #Running before the heavy snowfall started. Timing is everything! After this run, the last part of my current series of audiobooks was through, but, how could it be otherwise, an alternative was just ready and waiting… That‘s what I listened to while doing my #RopeSkipping routine (3,000 jumps). Time for reading and practicing. Have a great start into the new week, y‘all!

While doing my daily #RopeSkipping routine (~3,000 jumps), I try to keep it at a low effort level. Most days, it works out great – and today was such a day. And I’m a little proud of myself for getting it done every day this week. In early March, I reset the counter in the #FitnessTotals app to count only this calendar year. Having reached 11+ hours is a great achievement for me. I won‘t expand this, though. #Running & #RopeSkipping plus my warmup routine and cycling to work is enough. 😎

Whoa! I just realized, I‘m fairly close to 1,600 kilometers of #Running so far this calendar year… Since I reduced my daily dose of running to a mere half marathon, I wasn‘t expecting to be that far that early in the year. (But, as usual, I just didn‘t do the math in time…)

The one thing I haven‘t yet been able to turn around effectively: My sleeping time. Since integrating my #RopeSkipping routine most mornings, I went back to getting up at 2:45 am. Could be worse (like, hmmm, 2:30 am). 🫠

And you know what comes after a good run? An even better round of jumping rope! That was fun, but after the 10 K jumps yesterday, I limited myself to 2,500 today. And I cannot emphasize enough how great my Renpho ropeless jumping rope is. Just pure joy! #jumprope #ropeskipping #renpho

It really got a lot warmer, but there’s still some ice left… 😩 So I shortened my run today and opted for two #AppleFitnessPlus workouts: one on my #Schwinn spinning bike and one on my rower. And I even took the time to skip some rope. The streets have been cleared by now, so I‘m back on my bike for the daily commute. That‘s almost the best part of it for today! #Running #rowing #cycling #ropeskipping

Together with my wife, I embarked on a new adventure: a Salsa dancing workshop. Last night was our first session, and it was fun. Lots of couples from our usual dancing group had joined in, so we were quite a bunch having the time of our lives. As you might see from the screenshot, I got a new *ropeless* skipping rope from RENPHO. It’s a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship (and rather cheap). Instead of the rope, two weights are attached to the handles. I‘ll post pics later… #dancing #ropeskipping

So - 1km Seilspringen (3x 5 min) ist das reinste HIIT 🥵Aber toll, ich merke es geht immer besser. Bald kann ich bestimmt schon ein paar Tricks einbauen wenn ich weiter 2-3x die Woche springe. Mit der richtigen Musik (oder Podcast) macht das richtig Spaß!😅 Jetzt erstmal ein Mango-Shake 🥭😋
