Yuck.

Bit of a mare this evening.

Snatches- Crap

Clusters - Crap

Decided against squats, knew it'd be a disaster.

Chest to bar pull ups - crap

Ring muscle ups - 6 with no warm up... PB. These feel easier after all the core/pull up work I've been doing. Only saving grace of the session!

Meh!

Bit more rest required.

This morning

3x1000m 3 min rest

3:19.4
3:19.8
3:19.9

kept the whole thing just under 1:40 pace. Had to sprint at the end of the third.

Seriously horrible session. Leg pump for days and I'm still swimming in lactic!

Looks GRIM!

I you had to pick your 'favourite' 3-4 rowing sessions, what would they be - for improving 2k and 500m times. I sort of want to start again but want to make sure I'm on the right track...

Cheers

Hello mate.

First and foremost, getting efficient on the rower is priority number 1 so I really like 30 minutes at rate 20. The low rate makes you have to pull properly to get any sort of good split.

Along side that, specifically for sharpening up your 2k:

4x500m with 1min rest. Total time should be approx. 10 seconds under 2k time.

2x1000m with 3 min rest. Total time should be approx. 5 seconds under 2k time

I've never really done much specific 500m training but something like:

6x30s on 30s off. Go flat out on all 6, don't try to pace it. WARNING, this is not for the faint hearted.

10 x 1min on 1 min off. Set an average pace and try to beat it next time you try the session.

This morning!

AMRAP 10

7 thruster 42.5kg
7 bar facing burpees

Exactly 10 rounds. Not bad, it's a start!

Cheers for your input, Gingy!

Some of those sessions look horrid - but I do like the idea of 'short and sweet' so will give them a go.

Just to clarify - when you say '2k time', does that mean best ever 2k time, current 2k time, or my goal 2k time, just so I know what to aim for.

Thanks again.

It'll be +5 or +10 of whatever you're capable of on that day.

e.g. if you do 4x500m with 1min rest and total 6:40, you would have been good for a 6:50 that day for 2km.

Obvs. just a rule of thumb Happy

I'm not being very good at recording training at the moment!

Lifting wise:
Tuesday
snatch 3x2 @ 87 (tng)
cluster 3x2 @87
CTB 10x3 EMOM
Back squat 4x10 @120

Friday
Hang Snatch 3x2 @85
PCPJ 3x2 @100
CTB 7x5 EMOM
Front squat 6x2 @125

Did a wod Thursday night which made me realise how crap I am at toes to bar...

Rowed in a race (Quintin head) on Saturday. Great fun!

Chilled yesterday.

This morning, cold almost totally gone:
21-15-9
Thrusters 42.5
Bar facing burpees
5:54
5 min rest
18-12-6
Thrusters 42.5

Tonight

For time
10 thrusters 50kg
20 cal row
30 double unders
40 power snatch at 42.5
30 double unders
20 cal row
10 thrusters

Had no chalk so grip was going and had to change the weight after thrusters and snatches.
Time was 7:57 but I know I could go a minute faster with chalk and no weight change faff!

Did everything unbroken but the snatches as 4x10
