5 mins warm-up, then got into it...

I decided against using the HR monitor and I think it helped.

Wasn't too bad really. I might even do another one at some point.

Well done Millsy. A half marathon is a big achievement and that's a damned solid time. Comfortably under the 2 minute split.

Cheers Jonathan.

It was relatively easy compared to last week’s bike ride. Grin

It's good to be back! Grin

My plan is to keep it simple and not overcomplicate things. I'm doing away with timed pieces and using distance-based pieces because I find that mentally easier to deal with. I'm also going to be doing more work that will help my 2k time and not worry about HR bands etc. as I just don't feel they're necessary for me. The HR monitor will probably still be worn, but I'll be using times as goals, not heart rates. Aiming for minimum of two sessions each week, but may do three depending on the weather at the weekend.

6x500 a lovely session, I will be doing it tomorrow.

Only rowing twice a week is going to make it tough to break 6.30.

Perhaps you should think of a fast 500 and 1k use the force Sparra
