An alternate title for today’s rowing could be An Insufficient Warmup.
Today’s session was supposed to be a set of four 1,000 meter intervals but before finishing the second 1K, I experienced a lower back pain and had to slow down to accommodate it. I got off the erg and walked around a bit. When I sat down again to do the 5 minute active rest portion, the pain returned, so I called a halt to the rowing for today and took a couple valerian tablets which are supposed to be good as muscle relaxants.
Perhaps I should warm up longer, when the house is cold.
The rowing started off with a 3K warm up but I guess that wasn’t enough.
Here’s the stuff for today’s training session:
Happy trails to you.
