Although intervals are something I like a lot, today I decided to completely avoid them. The reason I avoided doing any intervals is because they are possibly correlated with episodes of strange heart behavior such as arrhythmia or heart rate elevated too high. Coincidentally or not, heart strangeness was absent today.
The workouts today were: first, another 10K rowing session at the constant pace of about 2:17/500m. That was followed by a 160 Calorie SkiErg session also done at a constant pace. The target pace for the SkiErg session was chosen to be about the same as the average pace of the most recent SkiErg session which had both included hard intervals and also had completely normal heart behavior. That most recent session was the one done on June 16th at an average pace of 2:42.4. Today’s SkiErg session was done at a constant average pace of about 2:42.0 and heart behaved normally in the absence of any intervals.
Happy rowing to you!
