I guess that your 8x500 R3 at 1:41 (=1K pace ) did not come easy?

I have started a blog on the UK forum to keep track of progress and keep a record of my ups and downs. You are welcome to have a look and comment.

Sunday 26-7

My final attempt for the CTC 8x500 R3

1:45,9
1:45.1
1:44.2
1:44.7
1:47.5
1:46.5
1:47.4
1:44.5

Average 1:45.7, PB for the sesson (prev. 1:47.1). Very hard and not very consistent but glad I survived.

Friday 25-7 Weekly HM. Steady but hard 2:08.5 pace until 17K, trying to hold on and maybe get under 90 minutes for the first time. The little devil on my left left shoulder was whispering in my ear that I should quit, because it was getting very uncomfortable. But I was focussed. Then my wife came ...

Wednesday 23-7, evening session

6K summer series on rowpro. Target 23.48.

Stayed under 2:00 until 3500, felt that I had already done 14K today and slowed down a bit. HR high thoughout the race (as usual). Finished in 24:15, 27 seconds over target but a still good workout.

Gerhard: Lately, you're rowing many meters. Do you find that the high volume is helping? It sounds as if your endurance is much stronger than it was during your last 8x500. I only do 3 or 4 sessions a week, between 40K and 50K per week. Total mileage is only slightly higher than last season, but ma...

Friday 18-7 20K in 90 minutes, including a break after 15K to stretch and adjust my seat. Gentle pace decrease from 2:06 to 2:14 to keep HR steady at 175. monday 21-7 CTC 8x500 R3 1:46.8 1:46.6 1:46.4 1:46.1 1:46.8 1:46.7 1:46.9 1:50.0 Average 1:47.1. Last one was a disaster, but happy with the res...

Congratulations! Interesting approach

Impressive 7:35 2K you put in there between 1000 and 3000. Looks like 19:00 is within reach

11-7 Weekly HM, started out just under 2:11 @ 23 SPM and simply held on until 16K. Seating & blister problems made me take a short break (1 or 2 minutes) and I finished the piece at 2:18 (slow due to a blister on the right hand; no real fatigue). Final time 93.55, HR surprisingly low (15 BPM lower ...

Helaas.

Ik zit wel in Amsterdam, maar ik heb 14 augustus een examen. Veel succes met de recordpoging.
