Sunday: 4 x 20′ / 1′ rest endurance training (with lactate)

I hopped on the erg today around 2pm.  It was nice and cool outside and I opened all the windows.

Plan:

  1. 4 x 20′
  2. Slow warmup…First 5′ at 2:15, second 5′ at 2:10, then the rest of the workout at 2:04
  3. 1 minute rests to drink water and take a lactate test.

Almost identical to last Sunday when I did 3 x 20′  HR was a little lower and the pace was a little faster, but the lactate readings were a bit higher at 20 and 40 minutes, but much lower at 60′.

  • Last week:  1.1, 1.2, 3.2
  • This week:  1.7, 2.1, 2.2, 2.5

I think I should stick with 2:04 or 2:05 for now for an endurance pace.

I am now into my taper week for the HOCR.  Here’s the plan for that.

  • Monday:  4K warmup, 4 x 500 with 3:30 minute rests, 4K cool down
  • Tuesday: 4K warmup, 3 x 500 with 3:30 rests, 4K cool down
  • Wednesday: 4K warmup, 2 x 500 with 3:30 rests, 2K cool down
  • Thursday: 4K warmup, 1 x 500, 2k cool down
  • Friday:  Easy recon paddle on the HOCR course
  • Saturday:  9:20 start time, bow number: 36.
