Monday: Steady State Rate Ladders

Lovely morning.  light mist on the water.  Low 50s.  No wind.  While I rowed, I spotted a bald eagle.  I saw him last week sitting on a branch.  This morning I saw him flying over the river.  Very impressive.

Plan:

  1. 4 x (1000m @ 16, 1000m @ 18, 750m @ 20) / 1′ rest
  2. No pace target, but I get sad when I go slower than 2:30
  3. HR Cap:  Hard cap at 150

Mission accomplished. I was having fun trying to see how fast I could get the splits at r20 while keeping my HR at 150.   A good exercise in efficiency.  And I think the r16 parts could be potentially be counted as “strength endurance”.  The main thing that I am happy about is just respecting the HR cap.

Tomorrow:  last hard session before this Saturday’s race.

5×1500 / 5′ rest (Pace target: 2:10, Rate target 28)
