Have an appointment this evening so out for a late morning row, just set up rowpro to latest version so thought it would be good to try it out... I forgot to turn of sleep function on laptop.. 30 minutes in and laptop goes ZZZZZZzzzzz..... try to get it on again but rowpro connection gone so just carried on. Hard today for some reason, just felt a little flat, but knowing it is these rows which means I can do what I did yesterday spurred me on.

30 min TT 8,690m 1:43.5 r26
HR max 174 Ave 159 TE 3.5
Took yesterday off... Well I didn't get a chance to row - plus the 1min r20 blew my legs so decided extra day rest would be a good idea. Then woke this morning with a very sore back, put my back brace on and had a brisk dog walk and warmed it up then after a day off being out and looking after my ladies I got out and warmed up to see how I went. Target was sub 1:45 plan was r26 and hold 1:44.9 - once I got underway I was on 1:44 for the start so went with it and for once the breathing went well. Legs didn't give any grieve at all until about halfway and then only minor. Heart I don't have to worry about - plenty of excess capacity there.

50r18 70% HRR plus 2by1min 1r
Simple session tonight watching Netflix - Star Trek: Discovery - 50 minutes rating 18 with 70% HRR cap (146) then two by 1 minute with 1 minute rest target 1:27.
13,550m 1:52.3 Ave HR 142 Max HR 149 - target 146 TE 2.5
The start of this felt like the good old days of knocking out sub 1:50 splits on the HR rows :)

30r20 - bit better than last week
Quick one as daughter not well.
Update - well the row didn't go quite as well as I wanted but still a small step forward - put it down to the head cold I'm carrying and the HM yesterday as the "oomph" in the legs wasn't there (bad timing on my part to do the HM yesterday - but that's what happens when you try to compete at your highest level while making sure it doesn't take over your life)
HR Max 172 - TE 3.5
Video of the last minute or so..
