What Training Have You Done Today?

[Dangerscouse]

Promising session today. Felt good from the start, no issues. But of HR drift and pushed the last split, as it felt right.

That does look more like it

[Sakly]

Nice one, good to hear. Have fun tomorrow, it's a tough little piece!

Hope it will be fun, but at least sustainable to get a score.

Probably the 60min session wasn't the best idea yesterday, but ergenduranceseries went better than expected.

Another erg session today to compliment what I have coming up in a few weeks. The idea was to do a lot of work somewhere around 10k - 60:00 power but on shorter rest as it mimics the effort / output I have coming up.

2.5k warm up, 20 x 500m (:30 rest), 2.5k cool down. HR was in a good place during warm up and cool down; it did drift quite a bit throughout the session as the intensity crept up but its also our hottest day of the year here so sweat a bit more than I have been recently.

Good effort. You're one place ahead of me on this piece because your sprint efforts were quicker. But I don't care for sprinting so you're welcome to it must be a good confidence boost for you?

Haha, could be?
I knew I would lack on the longer distances based on my recent training, so I thought to get back some "points" using my current strength, as this worked well in training

Sub 34:00 10K!!!!!!!!!.........................................on a water rower

So, I have a fun story for you. I had to travel for work this week and the hotel I stayed in had a fitness center. I did dumbbells and machines a couple days but noticed they did have a rower but it was a water rower. Typically the hotels don't even have a rower so I decided to try it. First, the seat was broke and every time you reached the layback you felt like you were going to fall off the back. Despite this, I saw I was pulling 1:30s without going hard. I messed with the "resistance" and found that when making it harder and putting more power into stroke it somehow showed slower times. So, went back to mid-range and did a 10K at sub 34:00 (33:20) just under 1:40 pace and I wasn't going hard (felt like maybe a 2:00 pace). I have heard that there was a pretty big difference between a water rower and C2 but I thought 10-15 seconds per 500 - not 20+. I didn't like how it felt either.

I felt a bit too lethargic to do too much, so I broke it into 4k intervals with 90 seconds rest and stopped when I couldn't get any more enthusiasm to keep going.

Haha, I think I've had a short go on a water rower years ago, and I also didn't like the feeling. The resistance isn't constant and the only good thing about it is that it looks good.

I am shocked with how much difference there is, as I assumed that they'd put at least some effort into trying to make it accurate.

8x250m/1:10 Short on time today. I'm well off the boil with this sort of session, I've gone 10x250/1:00 at sub 1:30 across the board.

You're too hard on yourself, as I don't see much difference at all between the two sessions, especially with that last interval. 10 seconds isn't enough of a difference to make it notably more manageable.

[Dangerscouse]

1k repeats undefined rests. This was semi-intended to be a warm-up for the CTC, but it didn't feel quite right, and I was trying to force it.

I'm hoping that it will have a decent training effect rather than sapping my recovery.
