Short Notice For Online 30 Minutes

Finish screen for today’s 30 minutes.

Today’s indoor rowing session was done online but it was scheduled only about 15 minutes in advance. Nobody who was interested saw it in time to join. There were other online sessions coming up that I could have joined, but I wanted to row immediately  and easy and if I’d chosen one of the other sessions, I would have been rowing later and under the influence of  faster people and therefore probably would have rowed harder than I really wanted to this morning.

So I set up a 30 minute session and rowed it easy, with only one non-easy bit that consisted of 10 strokes at a somewhat hard effort.

The session is on YouTube at: Indoor Rowing 30 mins with online setup 05062018.

Twenty Minutes or One Minuet?

One minuet in dancing is more stately than one minute of rowing. But rowing is a better workout if you want to be able to get your heart rate elevated.

Today’s indoor rowing session could not be construed as a minuet because it was solo and lacking in stateliness.

Today’s session was almost nothing at all, because of other things happening in the morning and because after those things happened I decided to skip rowing today.

But then I logged into the Concept2 logbook and noticed that one of my three training partners had done some rowing today, in spite of the fact that she is going through chemotherapy and today was a “crash” day, she managed to get on the rowing machine and do 19 minutes 47 seconds of rowing.

That was inspiring.  So I decided to spend at least that much time rowing and did 20 minutes.

The session’s screen recording can be seen at: Indoor Rowing 20 minutes 05042018.

Half Of Yesterday’s

Finish screen for today’s 5K.

Today’s indoor rowing was a single 5K done at at target pace of 2:20/500 meters. That was half the distance rowed yesterday, but it was a little bit (7 calories, to be exact) more than half the calories burned yesterday.

A screen recording of the session is at:  Indoor Rowing 5K easy 05032018 .

Today’s indoor rowing session was 10K done with a pace target zone painted on the RowPro screen.  I aimed to maintain a pace that was just a little bit slower than maximum for that zone.
