Today’s erg machine workout time was done early in the morning. It started on the SkiErg with a 110 kilo calorie warmup. The most interesting part was early in the warmup before I was warm when HR climbed and climbed and climbed during one of the 10 kcal intervals. It was easy effort and I felt normal, no sweat, respiration slow etc but when heart rate reached 218 BPM I decided to slow down a wee bit instead of finishing that easy 10 Calorie interval. The graph for that session follows this paragraph and you can see in the graph that when HR spiked to 218, the blue line for Pace dropped way down. HR followed pace down, but did so at its own pace. As I got warmer, HR behaved “normaler” and it did not reach for that ethereal altitude again.
The main workout session was on the rowing machine and heart rate behaved much more like normal while rowing.

Happy rowing to you!
