Pete Plan Thread

[JerekKruger]

I’ve recently seen screwy graphic output from ED on intervals—>variable—>distance—>variable rest (January CTC: 1kR2’ 250mR3’ 1kR2’ 250mR3’ 1k). First rep no output, subsequent 4 reps all show rate flatlining and insane pace and hr jumps (#5 below). ED numerical output matches PM. Firmware is current.

That's the same as I get: the graphs have obvious mistakes (occasionally two lines) although the split data itself is fine. I wonder whether it's something to do with partial strokes e.g. a stroke you start just before an interval ends, or one you start just before the interval starts.

I've had it even without using a heart rate monitor by the way, and my firmware is up to date.

Query/headsup to C2 should get a response as ED their baby. I have been watching <indoor rower> subforum for similar ED complaints but nothing so far. Might also be a “known ED problem” list on the C2 site. Prolly all affected should consult.

[jackarabit]

Checked droid and crapple known issues with ED, no joy. C2 mantra is “update firmware.” On a personal note, a good day for me as I fixed the batt drain on myslab running ios 11.2.5 by toggling e-message off and then on. 400 crapple [de]buggers prolly already know this. Not entirely certain it was the toggle. Could have been the ritual sprinkling of chicken blood

@Gaucho1 - Good session. Good luck on your race, what is your target?
@JerekKruger - haha, you are funny
@RayOfSunshine - Nice progress. Easy to get addicted to rowing
@mdpfirrman - Might be wrong of me saying it like that. I have huge respect for everyone that does time on the erg at all levels(a long as they do their best of course )

PP 1.5
Low rate work today, 30min on the rower and 20 min on the skierg. I think 30SPM on the skierg is comparable to around 18spm on the rower.

10 min in the middle @18spm. Starting in UT2 fading into UT1 at the end(helped to lower the SPM in the middle)

Hard distance session tomorrow, then a couple of days rest. Plan was to do the CTC for skierg and rower. Probably going to do the rowing rate capped at 24spm to leave something for the skierg

@JerekKruger - haha, you are funny

I try

It's a true story by the way.

[mdpfirrman]

@ Marius - it was "slow" for you, no offense taken by any of us!

Thank you!

BPP 7.3, 2nd 8k of the week. I tried to sit on 2:14 but once I got into a rhythm, 2:13 felt more comfortable. I picked it up a little at the end but didn't unload the tank because my HR hit 170.

Thanks @RowerGal!

[Gaucho1]

@Marius Thanks for the good wishes. Would be glad to reach 7650m, very satisfied with 7670.
Very impressive your "1:52.7 244 1138 18 "
What dragfactor did you use?
Best regards,
Dietmar

@rayofsunshine, that looks like a solid steady state row. You did kick it up a bit at the end. Is that the typical range for your HR on these steady state rows? Are you well hydrated? I'm wondering if your HR is increasing due to a combination of the work and slightly low fluid volume which worsens with sweating.

It said to aim for same pace as the 6x500 I did 3 days ago which was 1:56.7, so I decided to go out at 1:57 and work down. I ended up at 1:56.5 for the 1st 500. I ended up at 154.9 avg. I need to change my splits on the PM5 to match my intervals. I'm not sure if it's the HR monitor or not, but I don't see the splits to the right of the graph on the logbook.

Ray - I'm right next to you on the BPP timing and did the 500 x 7 on Monday, and the thing totally screwed up tracking in weird ways I can't quite figure out. This was what was saved in my PM5, in addition to what's saved in ErgData. I didn't think to check the splits since it's a 500m interval and when I did this in sets of 6 it had no issues, but that could well be it...

Anybody else have issues getting the program to properly record intervals? Is it maybe because 7 is an uneven number???

Screenshot to show you what I mean:

I've had very similar happen to me before. I've looked back through my log and it appeared to happen a few times between May and June last year, I thought it was just on intervals but it was on fixed lengths too. It did it about 5 times over the course of the month, but I could never pinpoint what caused it. Touch wood, it hasn't done it for a while with the latest version of ErgData and latest firmware.

BPP week 20.3 is just a 30 minute row. I'm starting to get back in the groove after a few days off skiing. Wound up this one at 2:11 with some good sweat at the end. A good row for me.

I need to do a better job of staying hydrated!! Thanks. I'll be well hydrated for 3-4 days and feel great. Then, I'll just "get busy" with work, etc and not maintain. It's usually a day or 2 later that I notice my legs are tight. It's almost always correlated with lack of water intake. I need to buy a bottle to keep with me as a reminder.
