Today’s total workout time was one hour, 4 minutes and 1.5 seconds, including a 2 minute warmdown which will not be shown here. For all but the last 5 minutes 44.5 seconds, heart rate was too high for the effort level, based on past experience. Then it became normal and remained normal, for those final 5 mins 44.5 seconds, which was about 9.4% of today’s total workout time.
That qualified as strange behavior on the part of the heart and therefore the category tag, “heart strangeness” is added for today’s blog post.
The first portion of today’s workout was 10,000 meters rowing, aiming for an average pace of 2:17 and a rating of 28. Heart rate was about 10 BPM too high for the effort, all the way through the rowing session, based on a lot of past experience. The rowing session was screen-recorded and is available on YouTube at: Indoor Rowing ASMR 10K 06202019
The next portion of today’s workout was 161 Calories on the SkiErg. Heart rate immediately climbed to be too high for the effort and remained too high until after 12 minutes and 40 seconds, then it went down into its normal BPM range for that effort level. You can see what I’m referring to, on the chart for today’s SkiErg session, where I circled the too-high HR area.
Happy rowing to you!
