Today’s main session was 1K for a time challenge. It was done online, with two other guys. It was done at RPE 9 to 10. I didn’t know what pace would be best to target and seem to have started out too fast and faded through the distance.
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s workout was going to be a half marathon at 2 minutes 20 seconds per 500 meters. It was interrupted, so the total distance, not counting warm down after interruption, was 11,598 meters.
Happy rowing to you!
Today’s main workout was a 30 minute rowing session with a target pace of 2 minutes 3 seconds/500m. It was interrupted by an urgent call. After returning to the erg, used most of the remaining minutes as a warm down.
The 30 minute session was uploaded to YouTube as a screen-recording. If you row-along with it and don’t take any breaks during the 30 minutes, you should have an easy time finishing ahead of me. It’s link is at this location: Indoor Rowing 30 minutes interrupted 03032019

As you can see from the above screenshot, the heart rate variability analysis from the EliteHRV app this morning recommended that I take it easy. I didn’t believe it and so I warmed up to do an attempt at a season best in rowing a 30 minute piece.
But there were feelings of heart-skipping during the rowing warm-up, which frequently is a sign of impending Atrial fibrillation. So I decided to do a 30 minute session at 2:07/500m instead of aiming for a bit faster than 2:03.
Even at the slower pace of 2:07, Afib and elevated heart rate happened. So I slowed down significantly. After about one minute of the 30 minute session, heart rate started to rise disproportionately to effort. So I took a break to get an aspirin.
The Afib continued through the rowing session but cleared up after the rowing was finished, after I started using the SkiErg. Go figure…
So I spent a while on the SkiErg and set two season best times for short sprints (100 meters and 1 minute) on the SkiErg.
I did 10 SkiErg pieces, for a total of 14 rowing + SkiErg. Instead of showing screenshots of each of the 14, I’ll just post screenshots of lists of the rowing and SkiErg sessions. If you really want to see them in more detail, it’s easy to do. You just visit the concept2.com online logbook where my rowing sessions are available to anybody who is logged in. You can find me by looking at the listing of virtual rowing clubs and clicking on RowPro Rowers, where I’m listed among the members.

Today’s aerobic workouts consisted of four piecces on the SkiErg only. The one that was the most fun was also the shortest. It was fun, because it was fast, not because it was short.
Happy rowing to you!
