Row 5K
19.53.3; 1.59.3 (23) (184)
Notes: Yikes! This was a bit of a suck-fest. Heart rate hit 170 only about 1,250 meters and hit 180 just past the 2K mark. Sat in the 180-184 range for entire second half of the piece, which is quite a long time to be banging away at such a high intensity level. Quads were really hot -- probably still filled with some lactic acid from yesterday's tempo "Grace." Actually maintained negative splits on each 1K. It wasn't a goal or anything, but I found it interesting. Quality 10-minute warm-up in Z1, but it simply wasn't enough to make up for my lack of rowing last week. I almost feel like I need to be rowing (or on the Airdyne) just about every single day in order to maintain my aerobic form. I was in great form just a few weeks ago, but have regressed slightly. Just need to stay consistent.
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."
