That’s the reason I’m doing the ongoing series of 10Ks with the same target heart rate of 120. Curiosity as to whether the body will adapt and there will be improvement resulting in higher power and faster pace though the heart rate is the same.
Today and yesterday were with the same target heart rate but today’s session report shows an average power of 143.6 Watts and yesterday’s an average power of 123.9 Watts. That’s quite a bit of difference, almost 15% more power today than yesterday. God only knows why because I don’t know and nothing comes to mind that was significantly different today than yesterday. Perhaps what I ate today was better than yesterday or perhaps I got a better night’s sleep? I don’t know. But God always knows why.
I’ll keep on doing 10Ks at a target HR of 120 for a while, and see what the variation in power is from day to day. Just curious, am I.
Today’s indoor rowing session was done on a Windows 7 computer with RowPro 4 instead of on a Mac using RowPro 5 for the Mac.
The session was uploaded to YouTube as a screen recording and may be found at the following link: “Indoor Rowing 10K heart rate zone workout 02022018“.
Happy rowing to you.
