I'm having quite a rough ride with this cold, and dynamic pilates yesterday with hindsight wasn't a good idea. I couldn't sleep so I just did something

Another 10 days after my last useful session.
This year my body tricks me again. Since end of January I am facing symptoms like a cold, sore throat, sniffing nose. Every time when it gets better and I start training, it flares up again the next day. Now I remembered that these symptoms could also relate to my allergies, which developed over the last years, but I really forgot about that, as I had no symptoms at all last year. Probably this year it's different and it is not related to a cold, but to my allergies ‍

This time I took more rest in hope it sorts out and today I aimed for a 60r18 sub 2:00 average.
Lungs felt fine throughout, little bit dry throat from the middle, but ok. Now waiting for the response. HR got sky high in the first 7 splits, last one pushed pace down to 1:50, so high HR expected anyway.

Really struggling with calluses on my hand, so dropped today's steady Erg in favour of a 7 mile run.

Some short distance stuff at under 1:30 and weights yesterday.

Looking forward to seeing Justin's marathon attempt.

[p_b82]

given my leg issues I put in something short that I fully expected be problematic at the end, and of course, today no issues at all....

in fact it was "easy" until the last 10 mins when I started to feel a little fatigue & sweat / HR increased a little.

i also saw my Hr down at 58 when I sat down, so that drops my resting down to at least 55 I reckon. (and makes this a UT1 session by HRR until the final 6mins).

Decided to go for the CTC today after the gym session.
Obviously not the best decision for a good performance, aside the 60min session from yesterday still in the legs, but this month I wasn't expecting a helpful result at all, so I have more "room" for TOC and ergenduranceseries upcoming week.

Strategy was to pull some strong strokes for the 100, but not too hard to beat me up, then drive the pace down a bit for the first 900 and then switch to a kind of cruising mode for the last intervals.
Second 900 my lungs started to feel like in handbrake mode again. Probably need to be a bit cautious next days/weeks, don't know.

Did cycling 1h quite hard today. 30.4km/h, 167W, 87 average cadence. So FTP of at least 167 with some to spare.

>2.5W/kg. Not bad. My uni’s rowing team cross trains too and at least I can keep up with their cycling cardio. Ankle’s still a bit injured but oh well. Gotta ease back.

6 months can fly like nothing sooner or later.

Based on your last interval I would suggest to overthink your strategy
Well done anyway!

Just haven't got going this week, just felt a little lethargic. 8x500/3:30 today, took a good few sets to find the right pace.

Got a good 1hr 45mins out on the bike for my first ride of the year yesterday.

First slightly tentative row after coping with manflu (a cold). I'm always guilty of going too hard too quickly after recovering from illness, so this hopefully doesn't tick that usual box. Surely, only 2.5k at something close to a hard effort isn't too much?

Starting HR was almost normal, and HR recovery wasn't too bad either, and probably where it should have been.

[Sakly]

Low intensity HM low rate, blindrowing. It felt more like 2:07 or even slower, so I was surprised, when I removed the cover.

Nicely done, not sure I could identify such a subtle difference in low intensity work, I should maybe pay more attention

Took a full day off yesterday post-Marathon, followed by a stretch row today. My rear-end is still a bit sore ~48 hours later, but ~80% of the way back to normal.

This row didn't feel as easy as the HR would suggest, which tells me there's still likely another couple days before I'll feel back to 100%. Fingers crossed I'm firing on all cylinders by Tuesday as I'll be tackling the first workout of the Erg Endurance Series that afternoon, and it looks brutal!

Good luck to be back on time!

Got back late Saturday from a ~16 day road trip with my parents. Not a single rowing machine was spotted on the trip, but I got in several long hikes and walked some golf courses with cardio that was much improved thanks to the erg. Sunday I hopped back on in the afternoon:

Still messing with my 2k intervals with 1m rest. This time I went strapless the last 4 intervals trying to work on form.
