What Training Have You Done Today?

[Dangerscouse]

@ Rod I must have missed that PB from you. Hitting form at the right time. Keep on pushing and you've got in the bag.

@ DNA, sounds like you have broke your mini slump. It just needs a good session and the confidence starts flowing again. Quite a lot of rowing performance is in the head and it can really be detrimental when you let the 'bad' voice take control.

@ Anth, that's a big increase from 8k. Good lad.

[RWAGR]

@Steve- well done on today's session. You are breaking this. You'll be back to full fitness before long.

[JerekKruger]

Good to hear Steve, back on the road to 8k now

@ Anth, that's a big increase from 8k. Good lad.

Hi Stu, thanks mate.

Gotta be honest though, i don't normally do 1 hour sessions so this felt like it took forever But the priority was getting in a good amount of meters today to get my week off to a flying start. Now i just need to follow this up with a bit more regularity this week. And of course, getting out on the mountain bike now is a good addition i'm pleased with too Onwards>>>

Did something very un-American today - walked to work and back. 2 hilly miles each way with 30lbs loaded in a backpack.
Then 3 x 3K, r19, 2:08.9, 2'R

8 x 500.3'30r

Average pace...........1:40.7
SPM......................38

This was 0.3 faster average pace than last time I did it...which was on the 27th November (2 weeks before the British Championship so fairly race sharp).

Just need to keep it going now...5 weeks to the world champs....

Thank you for the kind words after my 60r20spm PB OtwSL , WattsFromNotts and nick rockliff they are very much appreciated as always.

Outstanding Rod! 8 x 500/3r has been my standard hard interval day, so pretty similar to what you did - except I do it slower! It's quite inspiring to see what a fellow lwt of similar age can do (58 in a couple of weeks). Keep up the good work! And best of luck @ World Champs.

@ Jack it's amazing how you keep churning out the metres and at a good pace too. Keep them coming

Good job Rod. Impressive average!

relaxing HM for me


colorectal screaning tomorrow, so fasting today and that nice orange tasting drink later - yum yum...

Today:
No PB attempt just an easy 10k. I tried doing this blind, but I lacked a bit of discipline throughout continually checking progress at the end of every song which brought my average up a fair bit. Maybe next time I'll try to not look at the monitor the whole time and see how I go. It takes a lot of willpower but I think it does wonders for focusing on technique!

41:59.4 10,000m @2:05.9 r20
8:27.1 2000m @2:06.7 r21
8:22.4 4000m @2:05.6 r20
8:25.4 6000m @2:06.3 r20
8:32.5 8000m @2:08.1 r20
8:12.1 10,000m @2:03.0 r22

You can tell which bits I looked at the monitor the most. I reckon I was actually on about 2:03-4 from the times I looked. I needed the rest day today to recover from 3 days of hard work. Think I'll take a whole day of rest tomorrow and back to the club on Thursday hopefully.

Glad I didn't try for a PB today as I doubt I would have finished and I am feeling tired after my attempt yesterday. I am pumped for when I try for it on Friday!

[Dangerscouse]

@Dean, best of luck with the test.

@ Scott. Good decision. You will more than likely have fallen short of a PB and frustrated yourself even more. A full days rest will really help too. It's just as important sometimes

I keep telling myself I'm going to start biking to work in the mornings but the temperature has been 20 or less in the mornings and that's the last thing I feel like doing when I wake up... so I just get in my SUV and drive the 1 mile to work! How American of me

I doubt I would have fallen short of a PB if I'd done one and finished but rather I would have not got the PB I was hoping for, which would be better so I don't have to do another one. Hopefully so.
