Row 45 minutes (aerobic restoration)
9,369 meters; 2.24.0 (21) (141)
Notes: The Aerobic Freight Train is chuggin' along. Still adjusting to this type of "easy" workout. Had another problem with low blood sugar toward the end of the workout. This hasn't happened to me since beginning CrossFit many years ago, but seems to be rearing its head during these longer aerobic rowing sessions. May try some additional pre-workout carbohydrates next time around. Heart rate stayed very low (~130) for most of the workout. Started creeping toward 140 during the final 10-15 minutes, but I was never in danger of crossing the 145 threshold. I'm excited to see whether I can continue to be able to row at faster paces throughout the year while keeping the heart rate the same. This would be a neat type of improvement that I've never considered before. In the gym tomorrow for some game-speed metcon intervals (T2B, KB swings, & box jumps). Curious to see how the conditioning hold ups.
A freight train is strong, powerful, and steady across long distances. A freight train only goes "off the tracks" if it gets going at a pace faster than it can sustain. Bobby Scott Performance believes that a large volume of sub-maximal efforts paired with intelligently programmed bouts of intensity will develop a strong, powerful competitor with a huge aerobic base -- in other words, "an aerobic freight train."
