2k cool down - 8 minutes

Previous best distance was 6,854m so a 24m pb and about 100m further than a month ago. Very tough session, my leg stamina is catching up with my cardio so while the first couple of sets weren't flat out I wasn't holding much back. Setting off with the first couple of minutes at 1:38ish pace makes me feel quite panicky Roll-Eyes

Super recent sessions, you must be tempted to do a 2k soon? If not I admire your ability to stick to the plan.

I'm going to hold off on it jt. Pretty soon (2 weeks I think) I swap in some faster work and one of the sessions is 3x2k TR, hopefully I'll be ducking under my old pb on some of those.

Excellent session!

It's a shame you can't change the monitor mid-set and say to it, "Actually, let me just carry on to 2k please."

That would come in handy on many occasions.

I've thought about that before, but more along the lines of stopping at 2k on a 5k row Grin

Ha ha! In all seriousness, it would be good if you could change it mid-set through voice activation.

That's a great session. An hour around 1:50 is seriously good. It would be interesting to see what you could do on a 60-minute, all-out effort.

Cheers, and yeah, I will do one probably Xmas time, those 3 minute rests make a big difference though! I can really pick up the pace for 5 minutes once I start again.

I know what you mean about the tests but have faith you will smash it regardless of that. You can then enjoy a merry Christmas! Grin

Todays session was one of the most horrible in some time Grin. I had a drink last night for the first time since I've been doing this program, not a load but enough to be feeling it this morning. Thought I would have to quit a couple of minutes into the first set but pushed through and actually wasn't feeling too bad by the middle of the second set. Anyway another distance pb somehow by 38m. Day off from rowing tomorrow.

After 30 years of hangovers I don't envy you.

one of my unmet targets (maybe next year) is 3000m in 10 minutes 1.40 nice.

Nice session, Bim. Just long enough at that horrible pace where you want to quit but can sort of keep going. Grin

Is 151 AT for you? 149 is my UT1, unless I can get my max HR up a bit.

That's a nice goal, JT. If I can get my 2k under 6:30, I may have a go at that.

Sounds like a nice one to go for jt, doable in the not too far future.

Sparrow said:Is 151 AT for you? 149 is my UT1, unless I can get my max HR up a bit.


Yes it is, roughly for me:

UT1 135 - 149
AT 149 - 155
TR 156 - 168
AN 169 - 175

That is off resting pulse 39 Max pulse 175

On the UT1 sessions at the moment I'm not really having a problem getting my pulse to the upper limit and holding it there for the session. If I'm feeling fatigued though I can definitely have a problem getting my pulse to the upper limit on the AT work. My legs can feel totally knackered, breathing can be very heavy and I'm putting in a near max effort and my pulse will hover around 151 for quite some time before eventually getting up to 154/155. Honestly I think the TR work I've got coming in a couple of weeks time is just basically going to be flat out for me, and even then I know I'm going to really struggle to get it up to the 160 mark. I'm not sure how I feel about it to be honest!
