Today’s rowing was a compromise between rowing and abstaining. Abstaining, because one of my goals this season is to row a daily average equal to or as much as 10% more meters/day than last season. But I’ve been exceeding that, so I must exercise restraint to bring my daily average back down to its upper limit of 9,469 meters/day for this season.
The quickest way to bring the daily average down is by not rowing at all. But that’s not appealing. So today I setup an online Quick Row and aimed for a pace of about 3:00/500 meters, which amounted to about 5K which succeeded in reducing the daily average a little.
It was an opportune time to take it easy because even though I feel fine, there should be some consideration to the fact that I raced a little bit on Sept 17th and therefore some recovery behavior should be in order.
And remember: a generous amount of training slow is an important ingredient if you want to race fast.
Today’s session stuff:
Happy trails to you.
