A Little Ramping Up

a-little-ramping-up
The baby ducks are doing a little ramping up in a more literal meaning of the phrase.

Today’s session was done at a slightly more constant and faster pace than the recent few sessions.  That’s because I’m thinking about trying one of RowPro’s training plans.

Today there was an update to the update on RowPro 5 for the Mac and it cured the previous problem which prevented access to the program. So I’m using the Mac version again and liking it even more.  It has a few more features added, including the capability of generating a training program for either weight-loss, maintenance, fitness (2 levels of fitness) or racing.

I’m thinking about trying a training plan for racing the 5K-6K distance.

The pace of today’s 10K was only slightly faster than yesterday’s.  By slightly faster, I mean that it only burned 12 more calories than yesterday’s 10K.

So it was a little bit of a ramping up of effort.

Finish screen for today’s 10K. You might notice that there’s another boat on the screen. The other one is the computerized pace boat, which was set for a pace of 2:20/500m

During the 10K I watched part of a movie and didn’t give full attention to rowing pace. Every time I noticed that the pace boat had pulled ahead of me, I would increase pace to catch up and pass it.

Happy trails to you.
