Sparrow said:Doesn't the pace guide say 'faster than or equal to' (I can't find this symbol on my keypad) for AN work, so as you say, you could aim for the pace guide as a minimum and see how much faster you can get it on the shorter rows?


Just checked and you are right, looks like I need to pick up the pace on the 500m's!

After feeling great yesterday I felt pretty tired going into this session. Pace down a touch on my best, hit the HR ok tough.

The house C2 passed 3M meters over the weekend, whoot!

I too agree at the start you think "this is too much rest" watching your HR drop down into 2 figures
They are nice enjoyable sessions though, I think it would be useful to log HR at start of each rep.

For the 500's at 12spm max drag has got to be the best I guess the way to find out would be to do one @160 and 1 @210

If you use Ergdata you can find that from the CSV it uploads to the C2 website.

Target today was to keep them all under 1:38 pace, decent target as the last set was pretty much max effort, I didn't really have anything left.

Most of the time on these I start pulling about a second early so the initial pace is about 1:40ish on screen rather than 2:00. HOWEVER, on the 7th set I set off a touch early as usual, but the screen didn't update for a couple of seconds, and when it did the average pace was showing 4:15 Eek!! It took me the next 30 seconds going at about 1:35 pace to get the pace back on target and from that point on my legs were pretty wrecked. Anyway, target for next week I guess is under 1:37.5 pace

Grin Some people seem to set HR bands depending on the 'talk test', I guess you've read about it. There is no way I would be able to blurt out more than the odd single word whilst doing the AN, TR or even AT sessions. The rest of my body is going like the clappers, my heart is being lazy for some reason!


I have only read that you are meant to able to hold a conversation at UT2, I like to concentrate on pace stroke etc so prefer not to talk to anyone at all when training. I do shout out the odd whoop whoop but thats it.

I agree, just be careful as it adds an additional second or so of effort to the set!

Last week I got about 1:37.8 pace, I need to leave a little breathing room for the next few weeks so decided on low 1:37 pace for today, next week high 1:36. Another enjoyable session.

Another good session, it feels like I'm recovering better at the moment. The C2 did the thing again on the last set where the initial pull showed 4min+ pace. It's like it doesn't register the first pull for some reason, very demoralising at the time. Anyway, another distance pb by 15m or so and first time I've hit 1:45 overall pace on 3x8 min. I noticed I must have passed a Million meters for the season yesterday Cool

Oh, have we got a video?

752.5 kgs @ 103kgs Eq		24 minutes at 7:00 2k pace is seriously impressive, as was the 1:48 for 20 mins at 22 SR! What did you have the drag on?

My wife thinks it's a bit weird that I'm sat watching videos of a half naked man rowing on a Friday evening whilst drinking a can of Cider. I'm not really bothered - I loved it! Grin

Drag was 127, I just set it to about 130 for 1k and over at the moment, under that it's about 135.

Grin excellent, it makes the effort all the more worth it!

I forgot to post earlier, this is the start of the set where the C2 seemed to mess up, look at the 500m average at the bottom, it took me nearly 30 seconds rowing at 1:42ish pace to get the average under 1:45!!!! bas***ds

The time is at 16:40 if the link doesn't start at the right spot.
