Did a spur-of-the-moment 1K this afternoon... cold start

1000m / 3:20.2 / 1:40.1 / DF 135 / r29 / SPI 12.03 / 349w

Target was 1:42

I'm hoping to do the 6x 1:00/1:00 @ sub 1:40 again soon...

My town is hosting a blood drive and I was considering donating as its been about 13 years since the last time I gave blood...

Can anyone offer some insight or experience on how long it may affect training? I'm 46...

A modest HIIT session yesterday to get the blood moving and the temperature up...

20 x 1:00/:20r / 5197m / 1:55.4 / DF 180 / r23 / SPI 9.86 / 227w

Target was 16 x 1:00/:20r @ 1:56

A lunchtime 10k today with a modest target... 10,000m / 42:05.6 / 2:06.2 / DF 115 / r21 / SPI 8.28 / 174w (target was 2:12 @ r20) Unfortunately, my execution was VERY sloppy and inconsistent. Rate was all over the place... had a solid final 2k @ 1:58.6 but the whole piece was a god awful mess. I nee...

Still hunkered down in the man cave while COVID does its thing... keeping sane with some uptempo intervals today... 12 x 200m/0:20r / 2400m / 8:19.8 / 1:44.1 / DF 145 / r27 / SPI 11.48 / 310w (target was 10 x 200m @1:45) 3 min rest 2600m / 10:22.2 / 1:59.6 / DF 110 / r21 / SPI 9.71 / 204w (target wa...

I'm liking these pre-lunchtime workouts...

6000m / 24:56.1 / 2:04.6 / DF 120 / r21 / SPI 8.61 / 181w (target was 26 min/2:10 pace @ r20)

sweet curry beef w/basmati rice as the reward.

Working from home so I can finally do a lunchtime row... target was 300 cals

5066m / 20:00 / 1:58.4 / DF 150 / r22 / SPI 9.59 / 211w / 342 cals

Time for a grilled cheese.

The local gym has been closed from COVID-19 and I've been off the erg for 4 days... so a low rate interval session at home tonight with a 1 min sprint to finish off... - 8 x 750m/1:30r / 6000m / 25:05.2 / 2:05.4 / DF 115 / r16 / SPI 11.06 / 177w (target was 160w @ r18) 3 min rest - 1:00 / 330m / 1:3...

Well... its official... all gyms in Quebec are closed for a minimum of 2 weeks. Looks like I need to go pick up a few kettle bells to supplement my rowing at home.

I haven't posted here in a while because my erg workouts have been incredibly bland and focused on aerobic steady state I still say post the work... the info is useful and adds context to the conversations here. That said... here's my effort from today... 10 x 500m/1:00r 5000m / 19:55.9 / 1:59.5 / ...

At present... this situation seems to be growing rapidly. Now I'm lucky enough to have a rower at home, but I'm curious to hear if anyone has avoided training in public gyms as a precaution...? Also, I'll be pretty bummed if they cancel the Olympics because I've been looking forward to watching the ...
