Row 45m = 10450 2:09 split’/ 26 s/m MUCH better than the first week. (9940m)
Kept fighting to stay within 2:05-2:10. Trickled down to 2:10-2:15 range here and there for a couple of strokes but fought back to get down to 2:05 quickly.
My goal was to be around the 2:00-2:02 split, as I haven't tested my 500m time in a while. I was able to hold that pace for the first 15 minutes, but fell off after that. I found that I was fatiguing more in my arms and upper/middle back more than anything else. My scaps were pretty lit up when we finished, but I was still happy with the result.
Well.....that was less pleasurable than the first time. Definitely more taxing when done on your own, however done and dusted just about more than the 1st row. Struggled to keep a consistent pace.
Today. 10,337 2:06 pace. 500m 1:31. Held a 1:59 until 20 left and shit the bed. Last time rowed an hour 14,224 @ a 2:04 pace. Weird. Def was off today.
Not sure what happened here. I remember last time I did the workout like I do most Crossfit workouts - go very slow, then go very fast, then back to slow, etc. I have never been one to keep a steady pace. This week I tried to stay on the 30 second over 500m time, and I guess it didn't pay off?
Left notebook with exact pace I At the gym and for some reason when I took pic of rower it was set to calories!
I was happy with the row today, didn't feel as fatigued, and improved by almost 500m. Really focused today on getting into a zone and keeping the row consistent the whole time. Also tried to work on hard longer pulls (thanks craig for the tip it helped!) I stayed completely even until minutes 34-40 which were toughest for me. Started to really cramp all over.
Last 4 minutes pulled as hard as I could bc I had some left in me.
-9,604m at 2:20 pace. This was an improvement from week 1 which was 9,393 at a 2:23 pace -Considering I got off a plane about an hour before the row, I am happy with the improvement -I tried to play around with the pulls a little bit. If my pace would start so slow I would make an effort to quick faster pulls to keep my pace on track. In week one, I just tried to keep a consistent pace the whole time, but would gradually slow. I am not sure which is better. -I still have a long way to go when it comes to rowing.
Did better than my first time which was 104**. I really felt cramping in my legs and butt... I manage to maintain a 2:00 - 2:10 pace for the majority of the row... Goal for next time is to break into the 11000s.
My 500m PR is 1:46. This row I managed to end at an ave/500m pace of 2:19 (5 sec improvement over the row a few weeks ago) and a distance of 9715m a 350m improvement. Was able to keep my pace between 2:10 and 2:15 for the majority of the row. I slowed a bit when my hamstring was tightening up, but was able to get back on track once I grabbed the lacrosse ball and stuck it under my leg. I rowed about 1-2k with the lacrosse ball under my leg, which turned out to be extremely helpful and enabled me to keep my pace going. I stopped a few times for some water, but otherwise had a really good rhythm.

Don't have access to a rower so I did "Flight Simulator" and directly went into a 45 minute run at a moderate/fast pace.

ReplyDelete*that's a 1:55.5/500m average or +29.5 sec from 500m P.R. [1:26] - I kept pace at 1:53-1:54 throughout, except for four 5 second water breaks.*
*by knowing my pacing and my water breaks in advance, I was able to settle in to a good breathing pattern and stay there.*
*My hamstrings were fried, I could barely walk and couldn't sit for the rest of the evening and my ribs were cramping up for hours afterward*
