Ending the week is similar fashion to the start - missing rate targets

Definitely signs that the pace targets were a little weak but precious 5k sessions have been considerably tougher.....

Agree with Spider Jon - base building is worth its weight in gold. Nice session today Spider =D> IMG_20240125_095906.jpg IMG_20240125_095919.jpg (Something odd going on with attachments.....) Another new session for me so more testing the water on pace. Today 18spm proved elusive, but a nice steady ...

Also a reminder of how tough I find it to hold to a specific high pace. Next time will be inte...

Really consistent HM Mike - particularly that far into crazy bear

Back to 5k training - simple 30min/18spm: A good deal of concentration to hold to the rate this morning. Glad for the milder temperatures!

A monumental effort Mike - hope various joints and appendages keep their grumbles to a minimum!

PS - has Captain/team free spirits responded to the request to join the new CTC website (mentioned on the C2 forum)?

With all the advice finally sinking in, managed a compliant row this morning:
Main thing which would draw me into having another shot is that I didn't quite get into the groove for the first rep. Could there be something more.....

So close to OCD Spider :lol: Rob - at 100df and 20spm, I'd be very happy with that. In my haste to row (read warm up) yesterday, I went with a steady state HM so today (with still freezing temperatures) I went back to a negative split HM: ReactNative-snapshot-image5321794724989673479.jpg My list of ...

Nice row Mike (similar to my "saw tooth"). Rob: I can't add much to Mike's thoughts, but would say the step up from averaging sub 10km rows regularly to over 10k (with a focus on low rates) really put paid to the HR drift I used to see on cardio focused rows. Just my tuppence. Exhibit B: R...

I've tried a few row-along on YouTube and agree it does help hugely.

Today was an ugly sawtooth:
Didn't feel right with the rate and pace throughout so glad that's done for a while.

I've read lots of enthusiasm about heart rate training, but I've never had a good understanding/ accurate measurement type combination to fully convince myself to hold back to fit with a given band of training - much prefer perceived effort. Today was an example: ReactNative-snapshot-image9053647420...

Sticking with my traditional favourite of 30hrs - should make it relatively unscathed.....

I don't really track calorie burn so out of morbid curiosity I checked my tally. Mike: you're a monster.

Hi J Dog, I imagine that 1m will be rather sweet when it arrives - what's your countdown?

I'm on a cardio week so began with: A little improvement on my PB and a good sign I'm pretty much over Christmas coughs

Good fitness building session Spider 💪 Mildy frustrating few sessions to summarise: came a cropped with ergzone and erg not communicating reps of less than 20s (which has an impact on the 500m sessions I'm struggling through) and a few HRM niggles which hopefully are now sorted. Exhibit A for the pr...

AI seems to think this would work :

Lost for words but sending as much positivity as possible in your direction Dave.

Eugh:
Started out feeling it was going to be tough, and it was!! Missed last times' targets by a smidge but happy enough.

That looks a valuable session Jon. A contrast to my 30/20spm
Not hard per se, but a certain mental anguish to hold to the rating and very little to distract.

Nicely busy =D> =D> =D> and great sessions going on ^O^ I'd tried the wolverine plan a while ago Zoot - I'd imagine this isn't your first run through? A 2k training week, simple 5x5, 3r : IMG_20240102_100155.jpg The intention was to hold 2k+5 pace, which held to roughly half way through rep 4. That ...

Well done everyone. Great to see three boats afloat for the end of the calendar year.

One more go to give boat 1 people a bit of a target:

With all the fine efforts going on, not to mention Mat's thought provoking effort, I had a try (Post BRIC lurgy mostly passed by):
Hello Zoot!!!

The next choice is all yours Peter.

Sorry for the delayed response - I've been all at sea with a lung infection.....

I'll relieve everyone and say it was Riptide by Vance Joy.

Easier one to get things moving again:
There must be some kinda way out of here / Said the joker to the thief...

2nd in the 500m race.
