The plan for this 30 minute piece was: easy the first 10 minutes and then intervals for every other minute until the end. But HR was too high after the first two intervals so there was more rest than anticipated and only 5 intervals instead of 10 during the last 20 minutes.
This session was online with one other rower who was located in Deutschland (Germany).
For quite a while – several months or longer – I’ve tried alternatives to rowing online which included listening to music, watching movies, watching documentary videos, watching educational videos and once in a while rowing with the “company” of one or more software-generated pace boats.
But my favorite is to row in the virtual company of other people with the only background sounds being the “singing of the chain” on the rowing machine and other ambient sounds in the room.
To say it another way: it seems that if a person can focus on the rowing workout it is more enjoyable than with something to “take the mind off” the process of rowing.
