Re: Pondering the Beginner Pete Plan

W1 S4 - 20min SS Instructions said to aim to a lower pace than previous SS and focus on stroke efficiency. So I decided to slow by 3 seconds to 2.33, but reduce rating so that SPI would increase from 6.4 to around 7. Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 20:00.0 3,929m 2:32.7 98 638 14 147 5:00.0 984m 2...

Re: Need advise on how to proceed

Thanks Rowan. I agree with all you said.
For me, the midpoint between the pace of the 500m reps and SS pace is around 2:18, so pretty close to the 2:20 I had in my mind. I think I'll start with that and adjust it during the weeks if needed.

Re: Need advise on how to proceed

Quick update: I'm back to my usual routine, after a summer during which (as expected) I had very little time to row. I decided to start again the BPP as I like its structure and the fact that it mixes different kinds of sessions. For SS sessions, I decided to start with a 2:30 pace (3s faster than t...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

First of all, your previous 2k PB was a 2:07.9, or is that a typo? To beat it by one second is huge especially during an interval session. No, that's not a typo, but the 2k PB was 2 months old and in these two months I've seen a good improvement in performance (as the 4x1k shows). Also PB was proba...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

Today I wanted to test something different and tried 4 x 2000 - 5 min rest. I didn't have much clue about how to pace that. My current 2k best is at 2:07.9 pace, but it is more than 2 months old and probably wasn't at 100% effort. Considering the 4x1000 I had two days ago (2:03.4 pace), I though 2:0...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

4 x 1000m 5' rest today. Previous best was at the beginning of July (2:04.9 pace). The plan was to target previous avg pace and if possible go slighlty faster on the last interval (which I thought was unlikely, as I rowed less than 30km in the last month). The first two intervals felt ok but not gre...

45m r16 today. I wasn't expecting much as I haven't rowed for almost one month, but it was probably my best SS ever (in terms of HR and RPE).

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

I'll take the knowledge that it's easily beatable & my haphazard methods are providing improvements regardless! I was over 30m behind at 5mins 6:18 I drew level at 1530m Looking at the csv I manged an 8:07 2k, fewer strokes, lower HR and much better consistency. Only my first 6 strokes were at a sl...
