fairly new to this forum and hope I can get some insights here into proper training which I seem to struggle with.
Body data:
94 KG
188cm tall
37 years
HFmax 203 (recent running test)
From Germany
I restarted my rowing efforts for two reasons:
1) weight loss
2) training of aerobic base
The second point is crucial to me as in running and HIIT training I almost immediately jump zone 2 and go straight to zone 5s in a HIIT training (and I mean after 5 mins or so). So zone 2 training for running was not enjoyable for me, so I had to choose between bike or rower.
And based on my stats I am wondering if this is correct, please have look at my rowing of this morning.
This is basicially my zone 2 max after 6 weeks of rowing for half an hour, trying to stay in my zone 2 (hf capped at 140).
That is 93 watts for 30 minutes with this body weight is 0,99 W/kg. Isn't that way tooo low for my age group even if under trained? (Which you can argue after 4 weeks of training 3 days). I have no disease or anything up until now.
Or is this supposed to be normal? I can go up to lets say 105 Watts maybe with further training still stay in that 140s HF range but thats it.
I have read that untrained is more like 1.5KGs/W and trained starts at 2.5kg/W?
Do I miss something here? Would love to hear your opinion.
