12 km at 1:48.8 (22). aiming for 1:50.0 flat, but legs felt good so went a bit faster.

Here is my non-Caviston post as I am just exercising. Ok somewhere between exercising and having a real training plan. Closer to just exercising. Missed Tues and Wed due to too much work. Both days I worked late into the night. Thursday did 10k very easily at 2:10 on 3 hours sleep. Friday did an unplanned HM in 88:22 (2:05.7) (an example of random training. the plan was 14k in an hour) Saturday, 10k at 2:05.9 then played soccer for about an hour. plus 15-20 min warmup. Today I was going to run in the morning and row in the afternoon. But I slept in, killing the morning run. It is just too hot here to run after 8am. So in the late afternoon, 10k row at 2:08.3 then followed by a 11k hilly run in 55 minutes which was pretty quick for the first 8k but slowed down then I was really dogging it the last 1k. Which means of course that I over did it. 9K in 45minutes would have been good. My plan is to maintain 10-14k a day rowing with 45-60 min. runs 3 times a week.

Have not rowed a stroke in 2 months although I'm in relatively good shape from biking and other fitness challenges. I decided to test how far I could hold a 2:00 pace and not break past 170 bpm (my max is 193). I lasted 30 minutes. My best is 70 minutes, so I have my work cut out when I return to rowing again. Damn that specificity principle! I want to row fast too.

Sometimes I pick a piece and race it and when I made it it’s ok when I don’t finish it I still ok because I have a lot of training km. I like rowing and try doing a lot of km. every day. But I like to have a goal and when I row I see of I gonna make it or not. So now and then I have to stop early. Hennie

500 m x 8, 2' rest. 1:33.8 (31) 1:33.5 (30) 1:33.4 (31) 1:33.3 (30) 1:33.2 (30) 1:33.0 (30) 1:33.2 (31) 1:32.6 (31) as stated before, the 500 m x 8 pace does not correspond to the 2000 m pace. if it did i would be capable of 6'15" over 2000 m. my fastest 2000 m this year (in a qualifying event) was 6'27". i am not in any way an anaerobic monster, someone that is with a lot of strenght and relatively lacking in endurance. most of my training is long distance. i don't lift anymore, but when i used to, i was not particularly strong (never squatted more than 130 kg). my nickname should be self explanatory. in my experience the 500 m x 8 pace, 2' off = 2000 m pace - 3".

Chickenlegs, Being an "anaerobic monster" is very different from being a max strength monster. Anaerobic monster means strength endurance and you can't have both extreme strength endurance and max strength. That your max strenght is not so high can therefore be interpreted as something to make you more likely to be an anaerobic monster. You know best if you are or aren't off course. Im just straightening out the principle.

Have you tried doing that with shorter rest periods? Although you might not achieve the same pace, it may be a better workout for a 2K. Neil M/US/LW/38
