Return to Fitness at 60; Week 7 Summary

Join me for Week 7 of my 8-week fitness comeback journey! As a former 12-time Ironman and Kona qualifier, I'm documenting my return to shape after years away from training. This week was TOUGH - dealing with muscle soreness, Achilles pain, and the mental battle of pushing out the door every single day. 📊 WEEK 7 STATS: • Total Training: 1,320km over 3 months (200% increase) • Heart Rate Variability: 27 → 61-62 MS • Weight: Down 2-3 lbs in Southern California • Current Weight: 193 lbs ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction & Week 7 Overview 01:00 - Tuesday: LA Fitness Workout & Windy Ride (193 lbs, 188 watts) 03:00 - Run Progress: Stronger Legs & Out-and-Back Strategy 04:00 - Wednesday Ride: Wattage Questions & Fighting the Wind 06:00 - Friday Newport Beach Run: 6:30 Pace Breakthrough & Ferry Money Mishap 08:00 - Saturday Epic Ride: Navigation Disaster & Meeting the 11-Year-Old 11:00 - Sunday Recovery Run: Sore Achilles, Mental Toughness (Hour 26) 13:00 - Week 7 Recap: The Brutal Truth 🎯 KEY MOMENTS: • Dealing with muscle loss vs fat loss • Why runs are harder than rides mentally • Wattage confusion and power meter questions • Near-epic ride due to GPS navigation issues • Meeting a unicorn: an actual 11-year-old! • Achilles pain and shuffle-walking struggles 💪 PROGRESS HIGHLIGHTS: ✅ Running without stopping (keeping HR low) ✅ Bike wattage "off the chain" ✅ Glimpses of 6:30 min/mile pace ✅ VO2 max improving to above average ✅ Mental toughness building ⚠️ CHALLENGES: • Left Achilles extremely sore • Muscle loss showing on apps • Mental battle to get out the door • Recovery taking longer at 60 • Shuffling like an old man post-workout 🤔 BIG QUESTIONS: • Can I really get back to my late-40s shape? • Why am I doing this? • What's my next goal after Week 8? • More weight training? Swimming? Sign up for a race? 🌴 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LIFE: • Weather: Even "bad" weather beats Toronto's -12°C! • Dining: Found the Bullpen Steakhouse - highly recommend! • Queen Mary: Skip it (not worth $115) • Enjoying life beyond training 📅 NEXT WEEK: Week 8 - The Final Week! Then taking a recovery week (training every 3rd day to maintain without losing fitness) 💬 YOUR FEEDBACK NEEDED: Prefer weekly format or daily vlogs?
