Thursday – 500m intervals

This was a long and hard day at work, and that was the reason why I swapped workouts on the plan. Instead of an unstructured, long, steady state row I opted for the Friday’s intervals. There is something about a structured workout, especially when it is written by our head trainer and our club’s other Masters are doing it as well, that makes me finish it even when tired.

2x(10x500m/70″) @ 26spm; 6-8 minutes between the 2 sets

I was happy to do the second series a tad faster than the first one. I also adhered pretty well to the 26 spm rate restriction. The rate restriction allowed me to focus on technique, especially sitting up straight and taking time during the recovery. Nice.

A did a 2km warming up, rowed 1200m between the sets and did a 2k cooling down, so all in all I rowed almost 17km. Nice.
