This was my first interval session longer than 500m... I've only ever rowed sprint intervals. Target was 5k pace... 2:08.3

I seriously wanted to quit after 2... lol... but stuck with it. Seems that might be a mental issue... I don't think it was the pace as much as the fact that I would still have 3 more! I may have to prepare myself mentally for these longer interval sessions. Anyway, I felt pretty good going into the last one, and am pleased with my overall effort. The new target will be 2:07, so I hope I'm ready in 3 weeks.

mitchel674 wrote: Michael, I actually found the 8x500m a bit tougher than the pyramid. This is my first time through the Pete plan so I am a bit fuzzy on the pacing of each piece. The start of the pyramid seemed a bit slow at my 2k PB (2:04). Once I completed the 1000m it was nice to know the distances were decreasing even though I had to ramp up my efforts.

Yes... decreasing distances might be a plus for me mentally... if I can get thru the 1000m... lol

Way to hang in there! I've got 4x2000m at 2:08 tomorrow and I'm already dreading it. I find these long intervals to be the worst. My brain wants to quit after each one

4 x 2000m r5 tonight. My target was 2:08. Funny how 5 minutes rest seems to fly by.

What was your previous avg HR? Looks like yours are finally looking normal

Oh, I had a cortisone shot in my elbow yesterday. So, I'm hoping to get back on the erg tomorrow.

Lol it was 142 on the previous effort, back on March 4. I did that row at 7pm and today’s row at 7 am. I wonder if that made a difference?

Or maybe it’s kust that small increase in pace

Good luck with the elbow Ray

Robert. 5k time????what did you go through 5k in your 10k effort

rascott · Post by **rascott** » April 14th, 2018, 5:39 am

@Bob - the 10K I did this week that I found hard? Not sure - I left the PM5 on the default 20% split settings so I've only got data in 2K chunks

Impressive consistency!! Were you aiming to go faster on the last interval or just going for symmetry?

rascott · Post by **rascott** » April 14th, 2018, 12:16 pm

No I’m pedantic on this stuff and Pete didn’t say anything about flooring it on the last rep so I went for consistency. Shame I let the rate creep up!

BPP 15.1 10k

Goal was to beat 42:21.5 (prior best), but I had a sub 42' (2:06) in mind. I covered the PM5 so I couldn't see the average. However, I kept doing the math in my head when passing splits (since I have the RowPro). I was probably at 95% near the end. I knew I had my goal, so I just held on.

Goal for 2018 is sub 40'. I know I'm way away, but I was at 44:49 on 2/21/18.

Nice row Ray. I’d like to do a sub 40 10k too

Great progress Ray! 3 minutes improvement in less than 2 months. I'm hoping that I can do as well.

rascott · Post by **rascott** » April 16th, 2018, 7:19 am

another long one...

BPP 22.1 - 12000m...aiming for 2:11.6

mitchel674 · Post by **mitchel674** » April 17th, 2018, 7:06 am

PP week 3. This was 4 x 1000m, r5. My target pace was to try and get under 2:00.

These 4k interval sessions are interesting. Sandwiched between a 2k warm up and a 2k cool down, they make for a nice workout.
