I decided to just do an erg session today. A nice easy erg session. I’ll do my race prep tomorrow.
Plan:
- 3 x 20′
- 1′ rests
- Power target: 190W
- Rate target: 19-20spm
- HR Cap: 155
Today, my HR started low, but just kept going up. I think that means that I was just the slightest bit faster than my ideal training power. I really should have setup to do some lactate testing, but I forgot until I had gotten going. But in the past, when my HR keeps drifting up, my lactates generally came in high. When I plateaued and the drift decreased over the session, then they were generally in range.
Next session, I’ll go for 185W.
Tomorrow: 1K hard. Additional sprints as I see fit.
If your HR keeps rising then, as you identified, your pace was too fast for SS.
