Similar But Different

Today’s indoor rowing was 10,000 meters similar to yesterday’s but different in these respects:  The warmup portion was shorter and lasted only about 2,000 meters.  The video I watched, which provided timing for the intervals was the same as yesterday, HOCR Rowing Power Workout, but when I did the intervals, I used less effort than yesterday.  For the active rest portion following each interval, I rowed easier than when resting between intervals yesterday.  Finally, the warm down portion at the end was longer and easier than it has been for similar sessions the previous five days.

I made those changes, so as to try to avoid the heart contrariness experienced yesterday and it seems to have worked.  Searching for the “sweet spot” of not too hard but not too easy.  It was probably on the too easy side today but that’s okay.
