Fancied to test myself today - not going to get loads more erg sessions in before christmas and figured I ought to take advantage of my longer row mindset and have a crack at the 1hr - as it was my lowest percentile effort (and oldest).

I used ergzone for the first time - quite liked the table view, and setup my splits so I had the last 2 mins purely on the final sprint.

Target was 150w and I was worried I'd gone out too hard in the first split; previous pb 13,091m @ r20 in September; and open rate last season was 12,737m

oh and there was a 10k pb on the way through too - ~44mins (44:37.3 is the official one)

according to the numbers I've plugged into ergzone, it was only 89% MHHR at the end of the 5th split - breathing was heavy but still once per stroke; it didn't honestly feel too bad. last 10 mins were obviously into the stressed/panting phase as I pushed on towards the finish.

Thank you. I was happy that my target pace worked out well. The next one is now the FM. I will need to find a good target pace for this one.

Target was 150w and I was worried I'd gone out too hard in the first split; previous pb 13,091m @ r20 in September; and open rate last season was 12,737m

oh and there was a 10k pb on the way through too - ~44mins (44:37.3 is the official one)
Bravo! Nice controlled pace you kept and emptied the tank at the end too! 👍🏼

Beating 2:00 for an HM is a big deal!

Thanks. The last few months I had a good period without any colds. This meant I could update my PBs from 5k upwards. Now, only the FM is left. But that is the hard one. My current PB for the FM is 2:57. Not sure if I can lower this much.

Having changed form long distances to sprints, i have just set another all time PB of 1:31.7 for 500m.

As always disappointed with how it went, really must do some specific training to improve tolerance to lactic acid build-up in these sprint distances.
Age 61, on 2/01/22 I rowed 115,972m 11hrs 17m 57s and raised £19k for https://www.havenshospices.org.uk/ Thanks for all the support
