Wolverine Plan Week 2
L4 - [1088] - 180/180/184/184/
Strokes taken 1093

Switched back to 110df (Turned out to be 107), and this 60m was much easier than Monday's 40m L4. Possibly just because I'm used to the low er drag, but also possible I suppose that being so lightly built the lower drag suits me. That said in 2021/22 I had the same power in my 4x1k etc intervals at 125df and 100df, just with higher spm at the lower drag. Possibly slightly higher drag might be better for intervals even though it seems worse at low rates.

8/28 - Strength work.

Was able to get to a park at the end of the work day before driving home. No deadlifts so pushed the envelope with weight vest work when it comes to pace and I also figured as it was a relatively low activity day I could use a tough one; this is by far the fastest I have completed this many rounds wearing the vest but was feeling it after. Sweat, a lot. Sitting for 4+ hours after in hindsight was not the wisest idea as I was already feeling a bit of soreness by the time I got home. Planning on hopping on the erg tomorrow with strength work again Friday.

Time: 41:30

Pull-ups (5 reps), Push-ups (10 reps), Walking Lunges (10 reps per leg) - 1 round w/ BW, 20 rounds w/ 10kg vest

Day 4 of 45 minutes. Felt good today, once again had to work on slowing down as a few times I was watching the show I had on, then looked up and the speed was up at 165-170 watts. Just want to go nice and easy at the start. However it’s a good problem to have, and hopefully promising.

stopped coughing up blood this morning too

Wow, that's an extreme symptom!

Haven't been doing intervals for the last couple of months so was pleasanty surprised with this one today. An old CTC/TOC interval workout. Not far off PB pace for this session.

Worst thing you can ever take for granted is your health.....easy stretch day yesterday and back now niggling today . Supposed to help not make things worse. Not bad enough to stop the above though.

1:00.0 368m 1:21.5 646 2523 45

New 1min PB during strength session warm up. Not bad considering bodyweight is dropping and I've not been training specifically for power.

Wrapped up strength work with a gray zone 6k.

I'm the lightest I've been for some time and my training ADD is kicking in. I'm getting lighter and leaner and lost a little strength so my instant reaction is to pick up a barbell and eat more. Next week I'll be thinking "need to get more steady miles in"...
After this weekend work is a bit manic in September. I've entered the "Erg Power Series" online which should hopefully keep me focused on a short term goal and not sabotage my longer term ambitions.

8/29 - 15k erg; 3 x 5k (1:00 between for water, towel off).

A bit warm in the garage today so HR was a tad higher than I would have liked and sweat quite a bit (about 6lbs in the ~1 hour or so. Fairly sore from yesterday's strength session but not in the joints, sore in the way I would expect to be. Went out at more of an upper aerobic pace, then in the middle 5k moved the foot plates up one hole to try to see if I could shorten the stroke length ever so slightly and feel a bit more natural at a higher stroke rate which seemed to work pretty well as I was averaging about 4 more strokes per 1k in :02 less as well. Finished with the foot plate back to my normal for more upper aerobic work. I think moving forward I will use the lower foot plate position for aerobic work and warm ups / cool downs with the slightly higher foot plate position for intervals. Strength work tomorrow before a three day weekend here in the states.

I was pretty quited around here in the last few weeks as life is pretty busy at the moment. I did not follow a specific plan in august but mixed steady state, mid efforts and a few high effort sessions. And rowed enough meters to finish the Dog Days of Summer Challenge with 115k. I'm pleased with that.

Hummed and ha-ad about whether to lift drag factor a bit for these. In the end decided to leave it lowish and looking at log was 108. Lifting out of the seat a touch occasionally on the first interval (a kind of floating feeling), but I imagine that will disappear as I refine my technique for these faster stroke rates after a couple of months of 24spm max.

Time to take my medicine.

I was procrastinating about doing the CTC as yesterday's pilates class was really tough, and I wasn't sure if it was a tough session, a bad day or both, so I wasn't sure what to expect.

We're hiking early tomorrow morning and then I'm giving blood in the afternoon, so it had to be today. I had a few too many wobbles and dead stops, which with only 10 seconds rest, wasn't a good idea, as it felt much harder to get going again.

It has been far too long since I felt the need to lie on the floor afterwards, so that's usually the acid test for confirming that I've pushed it enough. The 94% HR with only 20 seconds effort also proved that point, but I really do need to keep attacking these harder sessions as I've been full of too many excuses recently.
