What Training Have You Done Today?

[philjoakley]

Got up at 5am, and at 6:40 I was still sitting on the sofa and committed to not doing anything. Finally decided on a 30 mins, and capped the rate at r26 after getting started as it just felt right today.

Quite enjoyed this and it was a lot better than expected.

Very nice row. Looks like there was still quite a bit left as well.

The word, if I recall correctly, is "gobsmacked."

The splits some of you guys pull -- I can only imagine!

Thanks Phil, one of the only positives of 2020 has been my rowing improvements. Given how much of a struggle that HM was yesterday, I really didn't expect much.

This is a great example of how your head can be saying no, but in reality you can still produce a good session, despite the warning signs.

thanks mate. I'm sure I'd be the same with you if I was on a bike. It has taken a lot of time and effort to get here, so don't think it's come easily.

Felt good, and now I have earned to take tomorrow as a rest day, probably down some IPA's

Great effort Jo Andre, looks very controlled and not even close to max

Very strong mate, and a pretty low rating for you, these are the sessions that push the motivation

[Dangerscouse]

Not in anyone's pre-BRIC textbook of sessions, but it felt necessary.

This felt a bit tougher than I expected, but my HRV has been trending down in the past few days, so it's not really a surprise. I lost 3kgs as I didn't stop to drink anything, which was good info if I'm going to try to do my 100k again.

Thanks Martin. My intention was to lower the rate to keep the pace a bit slower, which didn't quite work out

[flatbread]

my original intention was to do a 3 x 10, aiming for 1:50/500, but after the first ten minutes I thought "ok, it's my birthday and I would really like to enjoy a bike ride this afternoon, so do I really want to bury myself on intervals?" The answer was no, and I was pulling all right for 22spm, so I kept it up until I had an hour at about the highest steady state I wanted to manage. Then just pulling until I has the 90min

I know the C2 calories are futzy, but the monitor's 1080 after an hour at 1:55:6 was the same as the kjoule number I'd see for an hour at 300w on the bike, at the same avg HR. So, the aerobic base seems to be coming along.

BRIC dress rehearsal at sub max. Was supposed to be aiming to hit 1:46.2 which is 90%ish but as a sub 7 looked possible I chucked it all in at the end . Breakfast, lunch and routine all timed to fit with next week too.

Been kind of a rough week, since on Wednesday I found out that one of my best friends from some years back had committed suicide. Really gets you thinking, could you have done something to help him, and if there are more people you know who are struggling that you do not know about. We did not know he was struggling, which kind of makes the surprise that much larger.
