Today’s training session was described (as you can see in the screenshot below) as “row fast for long times”. The rowing fast consisted of three 500 meter intervals nestled at the front of a total 10,000 meter distance.
Okay RowPro… if you think the time it takes to row 500 meters is a long time that’s fine with me. Other than the 3 x 500m, it was an easy session, which was also quite fine.
If you wonder why I didn’t apply the part where it says “focus on doing the fastest Pace you can sustain for 20-60 min” to the longer than 20 minute balance of the 10K … notice that there was a HR zone for the balance of the 10K. When complying with keeping HR between 89-112, I’m rowing an easy pace which is a lot slower than what could be sustained for 20-60 minutes.
During the time after the 3x500m, I watched part of a movie and watching the movie took more mental effort than did the rowing within HR zone of 89-112.
Happy rowing to you.
