Row 45 minutes (aerobic restoration)
9,413 meters; 2.23.4 (20) (148)
Notes: Felt very powerful aerobically tonight. Heart rate wouldn't seem to budge. Stayed below 130 until ~20 minute into the pieces and then stayed below 140 for almost the entire piece. This is very different from last Friday when I spent most of the row in the high-140s. Negative splits throughout. Wasn't in a great mental state like I was last Friday, so this row felt a bit longer. Sometimes it feels like time is standing still on the monitor. Slight low blood sugar toward the end, but nothing terrible. I plan to test a 2K next week to give myself a baseline for the rest of the season.
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."
Hey Ben,
ReplyDeleteMaybe try including some 20-30 sec "bursts" as part of your warm-up for the 2K TT...just to make sure your nervous system is up to speed.
Cheers,
Paul
Good call, Paul. I had the same thought.
