BIOROWER Rowing: 5 x 2000m, 500m, 2000m - 20260321

The last session on March 19th went well. 10 times 2000m, all under 7:50 without struggling. Today, I had liked to repeat that session, but from the second interval onward, I was struggling. Also, my heart rate was higher than two days ago while generating less watts. After the fifth interval I did something else. Made a break and than 500m as fast as I could. 1:44.8. Considering how much I sit on the BIOROWER, I think that should be faster, under 1:40. I will have to revisit that in future sessions. Finally, another 2000m in 7:38.9 which is o.k.

My objective is the physical exercise itself, not a performance peak on a specific date for a competition. No season build-up, but mile-crunching or, because I am in the metric system, kilometer-eating. The most common routine is 15000m, sometimes 30000m and from time to time 42195m, the Marathon distance. Pace varies. Session objectives can be just to row along, high intensity, low stroke rate or low heart rate. My technique is a testimony that I never did rowing on the water and never had proper training. In the first years of ergometer rowing, I had the arrogance to think my technique can't be too bad, because when I ranked my workouts, I did fairly well for a non-rower (see the links below). It was late until I realized how bad my technique is and I improved it. But I am still far from good. Somehow, the BIOROWER gently guides me towards increasing my technique.
