Re: Virtual Team Challenge
A monumental effort Mike - hope various joints and appendages keep their grumbles to a minimum!

Re: January ctc - 6x250m / 1‘r / 20spm / slowest to count
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.....

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
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 ...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
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...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
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.

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
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.

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
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...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
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.
