Row 45 minutes (aerobic restoration)
9,399 meters; 2.23.6 (20) (150)
Notes: All aboard! The Aerobic Freight Train is back on the tracks after a tough week. Felt like I was on the rowing machine for two hours today. Heart rate stayed below 130 for the first 15 minutes but then began to creep up a bit. Definitely spent the last 15 minutes in the mid-to-high 140s. Struggled with low blood sugar earlier on than normal and even considered stopping after 30 minutes. I'm glad I kept going because my body kind of worked its way through the problem. This was probably a bit more of mental grind than you would like to see for an aerobic restoration workout. Ideally, you could zone out a bit and relax. Unfortunately, whenever I lose focus on the rowing machine my pace drops significantly. Looking to snatch some heavier weights tomorrow.
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."
