3x1500m, 4 min rest @ 2:01, 26 s/m. Compared to last: -0:03/500m Target was 2:03 but i paced it horrible. Went to hard on the first, tried to keep up on the second and realized it was impossible and went back to the plan halfway. By the third interval i was already exhausted so backed of a bit and ...

Part of me wonders if the stiff hip flexor has my body compensating for it, and I’m unconsciously using the wrong parts (i.e. my lower back) to get work done. Not a professional rower by any means, rather the opposite - but i know a bit about pulling movements in general. What you are experiencing ...

UT1, 35 min (7813m) steady state @ 2:14, 21 s/m. 160 avg. HR. Compared to last: +1 min (+228m) +-0:00/500m, +4 avg. HR. Felt good and strong after a weekend of rest. Run intervals 400m hard, 400m easy yesterday, for a total of 5.4 km with short warm-up and cool-down. https://log.concept2.com/profile...

44 min (9409m) steady state @ 2:20, 20 s/m. 154 avg. HR UT2 workout (2:23, 19 s/m, ~145 HR) with 10 min faster at the end. Compared to last: +2 min (+609m), -0.03/500m, +6 avg. HR. Feeling pretty comfy and consistent on these UT2 and UT1 workouts. Wish i had a C2 at home so i could do some longer on...

4x1000m, 4 min rest @ 1:58, 27 s/m. Not really sure how hard these are supposed should be. Goal pace was 2:03 but it felt unnatural so went harder. My body switched to two breaths per stroke about halfway and hyperventilating last ~100m which felt repeatable with 4 min rest. First COVID-19 death in...

34 min (7585m) steady state @ 2:14, 20 s/m. Had 500m intervals today but as i can't go to the gym tomorrow i choose to miss that one instead of the aerobic work. Compare to last week; +2min (+591m), -0:03/500m, -2 BPM avg. HR. Great UT1 workout. Very please to see results already! https://log.concep...

....I know for you 50-somethings, it's not even a warmup.

For some 30-somethings, it's not possible to hold that pace for a 2K.

4000m threshold @ 2:05, 24 s/m.

Felt really solid today!
0:02 faster pace than last week, and at 4bpm lower avg. HR.
Now rest and mobility work until Monday. Have a great weekend!

42 min (8800m) steady state @ 2:23, 19 s/m.

Easy UT2 workout. Finished off with 10 minutes of slowly turning the screw.
Alone in the gym these days!

I decided to do the 30'' intervals faster today to see how this pace feels. Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 2:00.0 786m 1:16.3 787 3007 47 146 0:30.0 199m 1:15.3 817 3112 46 141 0:30.0 198m 1:15.7 805 3070 46 146 0:30.0 197m 1:16.1 793 3028 46 148 0:30.0 192m 1:18.1 734 2826 48 147 Now I'm a bit ...

1:15?! Ouch, that's 830W for 45 sec! I just had a look at my 1' PB, there I did this pace for about 30'' and then slowly slowed down (but not really died at the end, still was at 1:24 pace). Tbh I'm very skeptical that I'm able to do this... but all advices you gave me so far worked very good, so I...

32 min (6994m) steady state @ 2:17, 20 s/m.

Felt consistent and easy all the way, with a little push at the end to get over 7K but just missed.
Also noticed my drive length very consistent between 1.39-1.42m.
Overall great UT1 workout.

Not really my ambition to be honest. My target pace for the 500m intervals is 1:57 at 32+ s/m and i tried hard to stay there. But as soon as i came over 30 s/m my pace started go below 1:50, even though i tried to apply less force. So the whole workout was a struggle to keep a low enough pace, yet ...
