After making sure the quad we are taking for the Gardalonga regatta next week is seaworthy, we took her for a quick spin.
Nothing too strenuous, but the sun was beating down and the seat a little uncomfortable.
about 17km in all
05.05.17 C2 training
Yesterday was the daughters 17. birthday, so I found little time to do the scheduled training.
Decided rather than try to fit it in to do it a day later.
The session was a 3x5km with 2 mins rest between the intervals.
The active part was rate restricted 18 / 22 / 18 with target paces of 1:58 / 1:52 / 1:58
a very decent workout !!
03.05.17 C2 Training
30 minutes was planned. The typical 30R20 target pace 2k + 18.
I decided on 1:56 as I don’t really have a decent 2k time, and I didn’t really feel like doing one beforehand.
Instead of a straight 30, I dialled in a 60. The second half being a UT2 type row at R18 – target pace 2:05
02.05.17 C2 Training
time to flush out the legs witha nice relaxing R18, strapless HalfMarathon.
Target was sub 145 HR, a little bit higher than normal, but nothing strenuous.
Had to cut it short as I ran out of time:

01.05.17 Bank Holiday Fun Part II
Starting the new indoor rowing season doing some preperation base building stuff.
The plan is from Casey, a fellow sub7-er and theres a few of us doing it.
Todays session was a 3x 6km interval training with 1:30 rest.
the intervals was using different (low) rates, R18/R20/R22, with target paces based on current 2k pace:
| 3 x 6k R1:30 | Targets | |
| 1) 6000m | 2k + 18 | 1:58 / 500 |
| 2) 6000m | 2k + 16 | 1:56/ 500 |
| 3) 6000m | 2k + 14 | 1:54 /500 |
I managed to keep all the targets and the RPE for that piece was about 6.
01.05.2017 Bank Holiday Fun!
Took out a 2x+ that had been refitted for 3.
This was my first time in the pilot seat (Rower #1). We didn’t hit anything or sink, so it dodn’t go to bad.
Not sure I kept the inside line though 🙂

03.04.2017 C2 Training
bah. .
12 days off the erg due to lurgy / trips.
today still not 100% and debated wether I should jump on or not. glad I decided to
it was a sweaty mess, but I limited to 135 HR, strappless R18.
Thought i might have trouble with the HR, but the slower pace was ok.
Average daily meters dropped under 12k/day for the first time this season 🙁 [meh!]
but this was #115 HM of the season :/ [yeh!]
also getting very good at aiming the snotrocket into a bucket…
22.03.2017 C2 training – another HM :/
A sub 2:00/ 500 effort at R18.
Quite pleased with the result
21.03.2017 C2 Training
Recovery HM after yesterdays longer row.
Jus ta really slow R18 low heartrate stuff
20.03.2017 C2 Training
Decided to try and test the water today.
Dialled in a 100k and just decided to see how far I could get.
First few hours were ok, no problems with the pace
I hit the first 20k without a break, and then wanted to do 10km stints.
After about 40k the first cramp came in – needed more breaks which was effecting the pace quite a bit.
Decided to quit after 5 hrs. Teen had made lunch and it seemed a shame not to 🙂
