60r22

yup - you know the score by now - weekend got nothing done exercise wise - Monday tried the 60r22 in the morning blew up at 25 minutes - tried the 30r20 at lunch - blew up at 7min 30 so up early today (and due to being at a wedding this weekend and a few other thins going on) it was my only opportunity to get the 60r22 done so set off on that again (target 1:43.5)

No warm up - just get changed - set the erg up and go. Tough - yup - HD thoughts - yup - HR pumping - yup - if I had another opportunity to row it this week would I have HD'd - possibly - still done now

The worse bit is when the split starts to drop - and even though I know I can thump the end and drag the split down - that panic sets in and it's time to override the mental side.

still struggling - 60r22 - target missed and a HD

still struggling - today I was targeting the 60r22 with a target of 1:43.5 - although I found it "OK" to start with - the current snot nose/sore throat took it's toll and slowed me up - even HD'd about 12 minutes before the end - but had a wee word in my shell like and picked up and carried on. Will try this again next week and hopefully the cold will have shifted. 17,333m 1:43.8 r22


Oh the Garmin HR Strap didn't connect to the PM4 today for some reason - was in a bit of a rush to get this in before work (so no warm up nor cool down) - after rowing for 30 seconds I spotted the HR wasn't connected but literally didn't have a minute to spare to stop and start again - luckily the Garmin 910 picked up all the details including the HR on the split if interested see the link

60r22 40 40@80% 20@Open

Just got in after 60r22 40 @80% 20 @TT. - It was brutal lol - I hammered the start to get HR up to 150bpm as quick as possible (10 bpm of my 80% of 160bpm) about 3m50s I was at 150 then tried to settle - all the while the legs (already destroyed from yesterday) where reminding me I had 20min TT tagged on the end - cheers Q! No idea where to pace that I decided at 30min to take the average split at the change point and try to stay under that - reckon that worked - TE of 4.1 and 208ml/kg which is bloody high for me - shows I worked
