Not a fan. at all. Still getting out of breathing during the 5k and need a breather.

Might be a lot of mind games going on here as I know I can do better.

Session:

• 2k warmup
• 5k hard
• 30 minutes cool down

Steady State row. Was watching some avengers and then was joined by the wife who used the x-trainer.

Was feeling a lack of energy towards the end, the last 20 minutes felt like I was at the end of my energy

A little dissapointed with this session. Started off quite well, but then I started to cramp up a little. To be quite honest I was feeling a little sick and decided to stop after ~50mins or so.

Still felt like I needed to throw up all night. Still take the bad with the good.

A ramp up / down speed pyramid. Rest was 1:30 per 250m rowed and the intervalls increased from 250m to 1000m in steps of 250m then back down.

Had aa little trouble on the 1000m, but the shorter distances were ok (if slow). Targeted 1:52/100 as average pace for the session and managed to keep under it.

Session:

• • 2K warmup
  • speed pyramid
  • 10k Cold down

Last day of this weeks cycle another steady state HM.

This time felt quite good, Also a little bit faster than Wednesday. Nothing much to say about it, really.

I wasn’t looking forward to this session at all. A 5k hard session, which would be the longest I’ve tried to hold a higher rate (>20) in a while. I had no idea what pace to chase and initially I thought that I would be happy with a 2:00/ 500 but secretly hoped for a 1:58/500

I found it hard, but not extremely difficult. The higher rates are still uncomfortable and I find them hard to sustain using any sort of power. but this is why I’m doing the plan 🙂

Session:

• 2K warm up
• 5k hard
• 30 Minutes cool down

*I apologise for the huge row summary for the 30mins, I forgot to change the amount of splits :/

Sounds like a weird title but it makes kinda sense.

PP = PetePlan

W1 = Week 1

D2 = Day2

C1 = Cycle 1 

This was a steady state row, I tend to favour the longer rows that reccomendedby Pete in his plan (hence the adapted version)

Target was a R18 HM at 2:07 (this was previously my usual bread and butter row). I had to keep slowing down both pace and rating to keep under the 150 BPM Heart rate restriction. The row was a little uncomfortable towards the end, but completed under 1:35:00.
