Just the minutes 3by1m 1r

Dropped the 30r20 HRR 70% today and just did the minutes - after the 5k race warm up - was hoping I might feel a bit better doing them (the minutes) I didn't - nearly HD'd on the second set but managed to finish and start then finish the third set. Think I'm about cooked for now lol

30r20 70% HRR - poorer - 3by1min 1r - poorlier

Well 30r20 70% HRR to start at lunch and was not great from the start and got worse - to the point I was pulling 2:00 splits at the end - very poor for me - even worse than yesterday!

 And again in order to mix in some oomph I dialled in the 3by1min 1r and targeted 355m per split - no1 the legs felt destroyed from the start but ended a meter ahead - no2 a meter to slow - no3 I feel poorly lol but finished - really feeling pretty ick now

30r20 70% HRR - poor - 3by1min 1r - poorly

Well 30r20 70% HRR to start at lunch and was not great from the start and got worse - to the point I was pulling 2:00 splits at the end - very poor for me - I'm hoping that the HM this morning is the cause and not another backward stumble.

 So in order to mix in some oomph I dialled in the 3by1min 1r and targeted 355m per split - no1 bang on - no2 a meter too much - no3 I feel poorly lol but finished - bit of a shock to the system for some reason (I only did this last week) but still feeling the effects from it now

Two thirties and some minutes

So into work this morning and set up a 60 minute row - was trying to push on from yesterday's 1:49.1 ave and aimed at 1:48.0 but due to the time running low (to finish would mean getting to my desk after 9 - by about 10 minutes) and a thing or two on my mind I stopped just after 30 minutes and set up 2by1min and carved that up

At lunch time I wanted to revisit when I last felt good on the erg - which was the 21st of October (Here) that day I rowed a 30r20 70% HRR and averaged 1:48.4 and then 3by1min ave 1:24.0 (1:24.7 r34, 1:24.2 r36 and 1:22.8 r38) the aim was to repeat the session - the numbers show the story on the 30r20 and on the 3by1 min although I was a little faster on the first and a little slower on the second the 3rd was quite far off.

Oh well - onwards and upwards - again - other numbers to note are weight increase to 111kg (from 108kg) and resting HR this morning was 139 (was 133) so I may adjust my HRR zones if for no other reason than to make me feel a little better

30r20 70% HRR - 3by1min 1r

Due to being up late after crap nights sleep and having a sore throat I cut the 50r18 session planned down to try and get this done at lunch.

So I dropped the 50min r18 down to 30min r20 and then did the 3by1min - originally I wanted to do the 50min before work and then do the 3by1min at lunch with some weights

30r20 70% came in at 8298m - ave HR 139 (143 is cut off) ave 1:48.4 - I liked that

I also liked this

although I could taste blood on the last rep - through the line holding 1:24's/1:25's

Race warm up - 3by1 1r

Just the race warm up today with three 1 min blasts at 2k pace -2 - legs feeling better but not without tiredness. Fly to Nottingham on Friday morning where I will get picked up by the lovely Jen Howse and that husband of hers  and taken in luxury to Cardiff - but - they won't be there until after midday and I'm starting to think about looking for a gym near the airport to do a few meters in 

Sat on the machine and the HR was at 45bpm - nice - only got to 153bpm on warm up - not so nice - should be at 160 so thinking there may be a slight bug in the system - wrap up warm for the next few days then
