For Endurance

endurance-training

The stated purpose of today’s RowPro software-generated training session was  to develop endurance.  Whatever it did, it was exercise, for most of an hour. The main session was 10K with 500m warm up and 750m warm down.

Snorkel Not Needed

no-skorkel-needed

It’s rowing, so of course you don’t need a snorkel!

Today’s RowPro 5 for the Mac software-generated training session was as the screen print of details below explains.  There was an additional 3K warmup done before the training session, and that is all the “extra” rowing that will be done for the rest of this week, because with that extra 3K plus all the scheduled training sessions for this week, the week’s total will add up to more than 70,000 meters and that is sufficient to continue maintaining a daily average of 10K+.

Everything about today’s rowing session is displayed in the four screenshots below…

ABb-feb-5-17

Today’s training session was a mix of faster and slower intervals totalling 10,000 meters.  Shorthand for the session is 3x1000r750.

More specifically, three intervals of 1000 meters each, with the first two followed by 750 meters active rest and the third followed by what was left of the 10K.

An Easy Ride

aaa-feb3-17-an-easy-ride
Today’s ride on the erg was so easy it felt like a ride for a child.

Today’s rowing session was another easy recovery session like yesterday.  Except that it was shorter.  After doing today’s session, I did another session of 3K, to bring total meters rowed for today up to 10K.  The supplemental 3K was actually done with more effort than the training session… because I wanted to hurry up and get the rowing finished for today.  But the 3K was still very much in the ballpark of easy.

Staying Power

That’s one of the things today’s training session was supposed to help cultivate-staying power.

If you look at the graph and session report, you might notice that RowPro 5 for the Mac still has the glitch that causes it to display wrong info for the last split, if it doesn’t divide the distance with a number that makes all splits equal.

Low Intensity Fitness

5K-easy-recovery

Part of the description for today’s rowing session was “low intensity fitness and recovery.” It was 5K easy, with 500 m warm up/warm down.  Afterwards, I did another 4K easy to bring the total up to 10K.

If you look closely at the RowPro session report, you will notice that splits 20 and 25 show incorrect (impossible) data. But the totals are correct on the bottom line because they agree with what was recorded on the C2 PM.
