We are running around this weekend getting ready to move our sons into their apartments for the coming school year. So, I decided to skip the “real” rowing, and do an erg session on Saturday. Done at home on a a static erg.
I wanted to ease back into it, so the plan was:
- 4 x 20′
- 1′ rests
- L4 format. 180 strokes per 10′ (4′ @ 16, 3′ @18, 2’@20, 1’@22)
- Target power 16 –> 160W, 18 –> 180W, 20 –> 200W, 22 –> 220W
- Target Heart Rate: Less than 157, hopefully but no real cap though.
It was hot (mid-80s) and humid.
With the power target, a “perfect 180” would be 180 strokes, 180W, which is 2:05.1 avg pace.

I was 7 strokes over for the whole workout. And 137m over. That’s about 0.9 seconds faster than target.

I would have been happier if I had managed to keep my HR lower, especially in the last 20 minutes. I think the heat and humidity caused enough dehydration to cause that, even though I took on a liter of water across the 3 drink breaks.
Today, we are doing a lot of moving, so I doubt I’ll have time for a session.
Tomorrow: Back on the water for the first time in 9 days. Plan is for a low intensity aerobic r18 session.
