One of the things I’m currently reading is a forum thread focused on the Pete Plan. And, I’m reading about the Pete Plan on the website of its author, Coach Pete. Though I haven’t yet tried the Pete Plan, I thought that today I would try one of Pete’s recommendations, which is to have one rest day every week.
But just as speed is relative and what is fast for one may be slow for another, so is rest. Pete didn’t specify any details about what constitutes rest in the passage where I saw his recommendation of resting 1 day per week, so I reasoned that rest is relative and decided to get the best of both resting and also adding some daily meters to the Fall Team Challenge, by rowing very slow.
So today’s rowing session was a resting session. It was scheduled online and named Rest Is Relative and it had the duration of 60 minutes.
One other guy joined, Sergio, in Italy. He rowed at a pace of about 1:57/500m and that may have been work but it also may have been rest for him, depending on what he considers a fast or slow for himself in 60 minutes. Speed is relative and likewise is rest.
Happy trails to you.
