Today’s 10K was like yesterday’s but the HR zone was increased to be from 138 to 150 BPM.
The glitches in the early part of the HR graphs were due to hardware, not heartware – the heart strap wasn’t quite moist enough at the beginning.

Target heart rate today was the lowest zone, zone 1 of 5 zones. For me, that was from 133 BPM to 143 BPM. Yours will vary because you are unique.

That was my target heart rate zone for today’s 10K.

Today’s session was 10K with a target heart rate zone of 144 to 158. It was preceded by a one minute warmup. The session was interrupted once when I had to get off the rowing machine for a few minutes. And there were a few shorter breaks after that.
Irregularities in the HR graph are due to the interruptions and not to any paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The last time I had an episode of the latter was September 1st of this year. Hopefully it is “cured” with the diet and lifestyle changes that have been made. Heart rhythm was perfectly fine!

After three whole days off I thought perhaps I’d have an extra reserve of energy so I increased the average pace goal for today’s 10K from 2:13.2/500 meters to 2:12.8/500 meters and then sprinted moderately during the last 500 meters to increase pace by another 1/10th of a second to 2:12.7.
The perceived effort was harder than I anticipated.

Today’s session was like yesterday’s except that the sprint was extended a little longer during the final 500 meters.

Today was another in the current series of 10K sessions. Used two pace boats- one set at 2:14 and another which was yesterday’s previous row. I paced them throughout and then went faster during final 500 meters, to bring average pace to 2:13.6.

Today’s session was 10K with a pace boat set to 2:14.0/500m. I rowed the first 5K half matching the pace boat the entire distance. The last 5K half I matched the pace boat until the final 500 meters, then increased the pace enough, for long enough to bring overall average pace down to 2:13.8.
This is my unscientific way of conditioning for whenever is the next attempt at 10K season best.

Because of yesterday’s disappointment at not making a season-best 10K pace faster than 2:09, today’s 10K target pace was to maintain 2:14.2 average until the last 500 meters and then increase speed to bring the overall average to 2:14.0 for the entire 10K. By doing so, I beat yesterday’s overall average pace and probably helped overall conditioning for another try at a season best.
