Well, went to do 4.2 - 3x1000m w/ 3 minutes rest. Did it after a crappy day of work, with a cold brewing, and in a particularly dry spot of my 500 calorie a day deficit. And by "did it" I mean I bailed early in the second interval. Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 4:05.6 1,000m 2:02.8 189 950 30 1...

Week 3.2 is the 2 x 2000m, r4. Pete says to try and pace this 2 seconds faster than the 6000m piece the day before. This put me at a slow target of 2:18 but who am I to argue. Interval pacing has never been my strong suit. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Lens-test/i-8rfcBQq/0/KnkVpgZjtw8xvmKz9vZpj4...

Feels like a happy medium between a too slow (to me) UT2 effort and pushing myself hard enough that it makes it more difficult to get on the rower. Intervals are for pushing and pain, long rows are for just rowing. Speaking of which, 4.2 is supposed to be 3x1000 w/ 3 minutes rest - I'm gonna push t...

BPP 2.2 is 4x750m, r2. Pete suggests going at the previous 6x500m pace which was 2:09. Easy session for me as I like to settle in at 28spm for my interval training. I probably should be faster on these, but I don't like to push the times this early in the plan. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Lens-...

Week 9 Session 5 : [3 x 1k / 3min rest] – See if you can row this at the same pace as the 7 x 500m last week. Start to notice the stroke rate on these interval sessions too now, and how it compares to the (slower paced) single distance or time sessions. Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 11:41.0 3,0...

BPP 1.2. I haven't done much interval work in the past 2 months. Pretty pleased to be able to hold 30spm at the end here without much break in form.

OK. Back on the BPP after my house flooded during hurricane Milton. I did save my rowerg but have only been rowing sporadically over the past 2 months barely logging 120km.

BPP 1.1 is 5000m. A nice easy row at 2:22, r22.

Sadly, my house flooded with Hurricane Milton. I did manage to save the C2, but I've no place to set it up right now. BPP is on pause until I can clear some space.

I will continue to monitor this thread for inspiration!

Week 6.1. Sat on 2:22 for the 7500m until my wife called with 2k remaining and ruined my nice looking data.

I'm dreading the 3 x 2k coming up next. Not my favorite interval session. Just a reminder to me of how slow my 2k really is.

Week 5.2: 4 x 800m / 2min rest – Go for the same average pace you managed in the 3 x 1000m session last week, but when it comes to the last interval, see how fast you can do it, but maintaining good technique. Target pace was my 2:09 average from my 3 x 1k last week. Did these after a 5k warm-up. I ...

Week 4/5 -- 2 x 2500 2 mins rest, go for 1 sec/500 quicker than previous 6000 so 2:11.x https://i.imgur.com/PA2rKVg.png Done, with some consistency :D Still not feeling fully up to strength after my near-death experience with man flu. It seemed harder than it should have been but ultimately not too...

5.1 done. Started out pretty sluggish after a long day of work and a full weekend of waterskiing. Felt a lot better at the end.

I'd thoroughly recommend doing air squats, wall sits, planks and other Pilates type exercises to strengthen your core, as you definitely need to strengthen your glutes and hip flexors as well as strengthening your lower back and stretching your hamstrings. The rower is a great way of getting into g...

I look at the WOD every day, but rarely ever wind up doing them. They are often too short and I find the rest intervals odd. There are also no steady state rows. Your best bet is to find a rowing plan you like and then just add your daily workout manually on the PM or into ergdata and then sync with...

UT2, only fractionally slower than previous 6000m with just a little hr drift in the final 500. I'll take it. However, I am puzzled that each split shows as 20 spm but the average is 19. That is strange. Some sort of rounding error. I've given up using HR as a guide on my long rows. I have a signif...
