Cheers jt, I took your advice today! Cameron Buchan did an interview with her that I saw, she talks about visualising the race before hand. I tried it a couple of days ago during my UT2 and my HR shot up so I stopped thinking about it  Yesterday evening - Circuit - 10x10x10 Today Row - 2k WU, 1x8 min AT, 100m, 1k CD Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M HR 7:56.5 2,015m 1:58.2 212 1028 25 127 Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M HR 8:00.0 2,293m 1:44.6 305 1350 28 145 2:00.0 573m 1:44.7 305 1349 28 139 4:00.0 573m 1:44.7 305 1349 28 145 6:00.0 574m 1:44.5 306 1354 28 149 8:00.0 574m 1:44.5 306 1354 28 149 Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M HR 0:19.0 100m 1:35.0 408 1704 32 85 Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M HR 4:10.5 1,015m 2:03.3 186 941 20 124 Meant to be 3x8 TR so just dropped it to a single and did 100m at 2k pace just after. | |||

Post Edited: 23.04.2021 @ 19:31 PM by Bim Great couple of days training, and those 45s were very quick! Slight drop in pace towards the end shows how you were feeling jt said:Quads and lungs proper smashed I retired from rowing briefly after this. 8m up on last time 0.4 of a split man it was hard definitely not semi enjoyable for a good hour afterwards. A familiar feeling! | |||

| Cheers ! I've been trying to avoid thinking about it jt, probably Sunday though, simply because that is further away! Friday 23/04/21 Row - 3x12 UT1 r3 Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 36:00.0 9,847m 1:49.6 265 1212 22 149 12:00.0 3,284m 1:49.6 266 1214 22 145 12:00.0 3,285m 1:49.5 266 1215 22 150 12:00.0 3,279m 1:49.7 264 1210 22 150 Bit rushed so straight into it, felt decent enough. | |||

| Interesting to see that, what are you targeting with the slower stretching movements, injury prevention or something else? | |||

First one felt easy(ish!) for AN so I picked the pace up a touch for the rest. Probably about right overall, the last one was a max effort. Semi enjoyable  | |||

| Excellent session jt, it takes a lot to keep going back to the rower sometimes! Another week down. Good to read about some decent benching and a mini crash as well | |||

Sunday TR session 3 weeks ago I said:This is WITHOUT A DOUBT the toughest session in the program Nothing has changed! Legs were in bits by the end, tough on cv, tougher on the legs. Thanks for the 1:39.9 guidance jt, it made the pacing decision far easier and was spot on as usual. It was weird when I turned the timer off on 4r, it made the rest of the session far more tolerable, just not having the pressure of 'having' to set off at a certain time. Anyway, feeling great now, end of another 'hard' week, not many more to go  | |||

Decided at the start I was going to be pretty strict with HR and not let it drift over 155. The dream session would have been to keep everything under 1:45 pace, but I had to slow it down a touch towards the end of the third set. Felt quite fatigued by the end of the last set, it's surprising how much harder this was than the 4x8 min AT earlier in the week. Anyway, enjoyable enough session, just 7x4 TR to get through tomorrow now  | |||

Dragged myself to the C2 not really expecting to do much but once I had set off it went quite well. Did the minimum possible, so no WU or CD and I think anything faster than UT1 would have screwed me. Hopefully get some good kip tonight ready for 4x9 AT tomorrow! Evening A very non energetic circuit - 30 min 10x10x10 | |||

| A very fine effort jt! 1/2 second off those takes some doing, I'm glad my earlier session helped you along I like how you can really dig in on the last rep or so with these even when you are pretty much done for. | |||
