Today’s distance was chosen to match the total distance rowed by one of my training partners during the most recent 3 days she has done any rowing from July 19th through July 26th.
The session was recorded as a screen recording and those who want to row-along with it or race against it may find it at this location: Indoor Rowing 322 Calories 07272018
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s 10K session was posted as a screen recording on YouTube for anyone who wants to row-along with a low-energy 10K. At the pace at which I felt like rowing, it took quite a while for heart rate to raise much above 100.

Today’s rowing session was a time-constrained 5,000 meters which amounted to 300 calories.

If you row along with me using that screen recording, your calories may total other than the round number of 300 calories, depending on your pace.
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s was another 10K. I felt low energy this morning. Could it have been due to the lack of coffee before rowing? For whatever reason, the perception was of low energy. RowPro displayed an initial heart rate of 48, 47, 48 … so at the very least, I was almost as relaxed as if I were asleep. Then I took a deep breath, cleared my throat and adjusted feet to start rowing and heart rate started to rise.

For the calorie-conscious, you can see by the title of the link that total calories burned was 570. Get to the finish line ahead of me and you will burn a few more than I did.
Happy rowing to you.
Today’s indoor rowing session was another relatively short one, just 5 kilometers. I had a cup of coffee but no food before rowing and it didn’t seem to make any difference in heart behavior.
Though the effort for today’s 5K wasn’t a racing effort, I put the results in the Concept 2 online rankings anyway, because the more the merrier for anyone who likes to use the rankings as incentive. Perhaps there will be some people who look at the rankings before doing a 5K, to see who they want to try to place ahead of. That’s an handy way to have a race.

Today I slept in and then procrastinated about rowing by sitting and chatting with my better half. When I finally got around to rowing, I decided to compromise with the part of my mind which was being reluctant and limit the distance to 6K instead of 10. That seemed to make it happy.
One positive result of the procrastination today was that it resulted in me fasting longer than usual, since I’ve been restricting myself to only breaking fast after rowing. I’ve heard (in some lectures) that there are some repair jobs and other good things that the body’s mitochondria only do after a person has been fasting at least 12 hours. Another person said those things start to happen after only 11 hours of fasting, if a person works out. So today’s workout was done before breaking fast after 18 or 19 hours.
As a result, I feel like a new man. (Just kidding).

Today’s rowing session was 10K done as early in the morning as possible, so it could be accomplished and followed by a shower before going to the doctor. There was no cause/effect relationship between rowing and then going to the doctor. The doctor’s appointment was routine and had been scheduled more than 6 months in advance.

Yesterday there was a comment on one of the most popular indoor rowing screen recordings I’ve put on YouTube, a brief rowing session which includes five intervals. The person asked, “Are you actually on the moon?…”. The screenshot above shows the comment and my answer.
Today’s session was 11,187 meters. That distance was chosen to match the total distance rowed during training partner “DN’s” most recent 4 rowing sessions.
