Mat, that is a strong 6 x 2' & sub 1:45 average
. Amazed how you up the pace without increasing the rating on such intervals.
Eric, 2 good sessions there. Good to see your HR recover so well after the harder parts and stroke getting stronger.
Spider, After I spent a weekend decorating I was too tired to row so congrats on another good session on top.
Well I decided to put some work in this weekend. Started with a second session Friday night. HR up a bit (not surprising after tough intervals in morning), so slowed from UT1 to UT2, felt like the end of a marathon with legs very wobbly by the end. Saturday morning I started at UT1, but H/D just under 30', but got back on for more UT2. Then Sunday legs were shot and feeling a bit nauseous (might have been a bit low on carbs) so UT2 throughout, clearly CV had recovered for lowest HR for some time on this. This morning legs still tired, but felt much better, so as can't row tomorrow I pushed UT1 increased for another week, annoyingly HR monitor hadn't charged so no HR today. SO good training and getting used to rowing tired if a bit samey.
