A Little Of Each

Today’s workout consisted of 5,027 meters on the SkiErg followed by 5,027 meters on the rowing machine. All done indoors, of course.

Today’s EliteHRV Morning Readiness reading was okay for any workout, though the HRV score wasn’t as high as yesterday’s.

The day began with a green light from EliteHRV (see above) and a good night’s rest of 7 hours 40 minutes (see below)

The first of the two workout sessions was set up to be 10K on the SkiErg. That’s what yesterday’s SkiErg session was supposed to be also, but I quit that one yesterday after about 2 miles. Today I got further with it and quit today’s 10K on the SkiErg after a little over 3 miles, logging 5,027 meters.

So for today’s rowing session, I set the rowing machine for the exact same distance, 5,027 meters to compare results. You can see from the session reports that I went a lot faster, with a lower heart rate, rowing than SkiErg-ing.

The Concept 2 online logbook chart for today’s rowing session is a lot cleaner looking than the SkiErg chart because it is displaying correct data for strokes and stroke rate.

Happy rowing to you!
