Rowing With English

Today’s indoor rowing session was 40 minutes, done on the internet in the virtual company of a guy who was in England.

I aimed for an average pace of 2:12 point anything. There was no target heart rate but I kept a close watch on HR to see how it behaved.

Happy rowing to you.

Easy->Medium->Medium Hard->Hard

Today’s indoor rowing session was 10K done on the internet  in the virtual company of two other rowers.  The other two were located in Germany.

The session started out feeling like it would be in the category of Easy effort.  Soon it moved into feeling like Medium. By about halfway, it started feeling Medium Hard.  When the remaining distance counted down to between 4,000 and 3,000 meters left to go, it started to feel Hard. Respiration rate near the end confirmed that it had become “Hard” because respiration rate increased to about 60 breaths per minute which is a lot higher rate than when rowing “Easy”.

So today’s rowing session is tagged with all four of those effort levels. It was definitely both in the category of a Fun and a Mentally absorbing workout from start to finish.

There was a screen recording made for any of you who want to use it as something to row-along with.  The screen recording link is here: Indoor Rowing 10K Online 09212018

Happy rowing to you.

They Started Early

Today was going to be an online 30 minute session but when I checked in during the last two minutes before the scheduled starting time, they had already started without me. So I chose to do a 5K solo and offline.

Dreamy Rowing Session

Perhaps its because I let myself sleep in late this morning and I continued in a dreamy state, late into the day.  For whatever reason, today’s rowing session seemed to be a dreamy workout. I feel like I could fall asleep almost instantly, if I would just close my eyes and lay down.

The distance was preset to 5,485 meters. A screen recording for row-along will be available at this link: Indoor Rowing 5481 meters 09162018

Happy rowing to you.

Offline Again Today But Online Tomorrow

Yesterday’s session was skipped due to undue procrastination.  Not that any amount of procrastination is ever warranted or appropriate.  So after today’s session was finished I looked at tomorrow’s online schedule.  Surprise!  Someone had scheduled an online 5K at a convenient time tomorrow morning.  So… hopefully tomorrow’s will be online.  It’s scheduled for 1330 (1:30 pm) GMT which is 08:30 local time tomorrow morning.  If you read this in time, join in!

Today’s session was a little more than 5K.  A screen recording for rowing along with today’s session can be found here: Indoor Rowing 5348 meters 331 calories 09122018
