Yesterday (Nov 5) was the training plan rest day and there was neither rowing done nor a blog post made yesterday. Today’s training plan session is probably the weirdest of all the Pete Plan sessions, the “Speed Pyramid.” It is a set of seven intervals done in this order: 250, 500, 750, 1000, 750, 500 … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 2 Week 2 Day 1 Speed Pyramid”
Today’s Plan session was designated as recovery, steady distance of from 8K to 15K. I chose 8K, with pace the highest priority target. The pace target was 2:20.5, which was the midway point of UT2 (relative to my most recent 2K TT). Second priority was HR less than 75% HRmax. Last priority was rating 22-25. By … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 2 Week 1 Day 6 Recovery”
The Pete Plan assignment for today was to do a hard distance of at least 5K. I chose 10K. For a hard pace, I chose 2:01.7, which was my previous season best for 10K. There was a warmup and warm down of 1,100 meters each, but I won’t bother to include reports etc for the … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 2 Week 1 Day 5 Hard Distance”
Today’s training plan session was supposed to be a “steady distance recovery”, from 8K to 15K, at rating of from 22 to 25. I chose 8K at r22. DF was 135. No warmup or warm down. Straps were loose as usual. There were three targets: HR, rating and pace. Highest priority was to keep HR … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 2 Week 1 Day 4”
Today’s training session was endurance intervals, 5×1500 R5:00. There was a 2500m warmup and warmdown. DF was 135. Straps were loose. Target pace for all but the last interval was 2:00.3, which was the average pace for all 5 intervals in this same session of the first cycle. The resulting average pace for all 5 … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 2 Week 1 Day 3”
Today’s Pete Plan session was a designated steady distance recovery row of from 8K to 15K. I chose 10K and followed it with a 2500m warm down. The only goals for the 10K today were to keep rating between 22 and 25. I guess you could say another goal was to keep HR under 75% … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 2 Week 1 Day 2 Recovery Row”
Today’s episode of Pete Plan was the first day of cycle 2, my second time through the 3 week plan. The session was 8×500 R3:30. I set up the intervals on RowPro, with only 3:20 of rest and when each 3:20 of rest ended, I sat motionless for another 10 seconds to allow the flywheel … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 2 Week 1 Day 1”
Today’s scheduled Pete Plan activity was to do no rowing. So I took Pete’s recommendation seriously and didn’t do any serious rowing. But I did try something which involved the rowing machine. To test an Apple watch’s accuracy in measuring calories burned while rowing, I told it I was going to row and rowed slowly … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 1 Week 3 Day 7 Rest Day”
Today’s Pete Plan scheduled session was specified to be a distance of from 8K to 15K at a rating of from 22 to 25 and at a recovery pace. I chose 8K as the distance. DF was 125. No warmup or warmdown. Straps were loose, as usual. Happy trails to you.
Today’s scheduled training session was to be a “hard distance” of anywhere from 5K up. I chose to do a 30 minute timed session with a goal of making a new season best result which would be well over 7K. I also thought it would be nice, if the session could be used to get … Continue reading “Pete Plan Cycle 1 Week 3 Day 5 Hard Distance”
