Many thanks! This last week notwithstanding, I’m finding three, sometimes four, workouts per week are the current sweet spot.

Spin cycle

  • 30:00, five rounds of spin/sprint intervals, remainder mix of sitting and standing.

Sleep has been a major problem again. I fall asleep around 1 a.m., half wake up around 3 a.m. utterly parched, am unable to fully wake up and can’t fall back asleep. Last week was a necessary break from exercising.
