Using Two Pace Boats With A 10K

Today was another in the current series of 10K sessions. Used two pace boats- one set at 2:14 and another which was yesterday’s previous row.  I paced them throughout and then went faster during final 500 meters, to bring average pace to 2:13.6.

Happy rowing to you.

Two Easy 5Ks But Not Too Easy

Today’s session was 10K with a pace boat set to 2:14.0/500m.  I rowed the first 5K half matching the pace boat the entire distance.  The last 5K half I matched the pace boat until the final 500 meters, then increased the pace enough, for long enough to bring overall average pace down to 2:13.8.

This is my unscientific way of conditioning for whenever is the next attempt at 10K season best.

Exploring 10K From The Easy Side

Because of yesterday’s disappointment at not making a season-best 10K pace faster than 2:09, today’s 10K target pace was to maintain 2:14.2 average until the last 500 meters and then increase speed to bring the overall average to 2:14.0 for the entire 10K. By doing so, I beat yesterday’s overall average pace and probably helped overall conditioning for another try at a season best.
