The official plan had a 2x750m at 2k pace, but I wanted to do a bit more and still get a feel for my 2k fitness.
On row2k, I found this workout, also described here, and I was intrigued. The only issue is that the two descriptions weren’t identical.
On the Concept2 Forum, it is described as:
WEIS
Set your erg for 40 minutes
4×30 seconds on , 30 seconds off at 98%
5 minutes on. 1 minute off at 88%
10×20 seconds on , 10 seconds off at 94%
10 minutes on at 86%
10×20 seconds on , 10 seconds off at 94%
5 minutes on ,1 minute off at 88%
4×30 seconds on,30 seconds off at 98%
The percentages are percentages of pace, and the example given is that a 98% of a 1:46 split is 1:48 split.
On row2k, it is described as:
-4 x 30″ on, 30″ off at two splits faster than your 2k split
-1 x 5′ on, 1′ off at three splits slower than your 5k split
-10 x 20″ on, 10″ off at two splits slower than your 2k split
-1 x 10′ at six splits slower than your 5k split (no rest between this and the next set)
-10 x 20″ on, 10″ off at two splits slower than your 2k split
-1 x 5′ on, 1′ off at three splits slower than your 5k split
-4 x 30″ on, 30″ off at two splits faster than your 2k split
I translated the Concept2 prescription to Watts and, based on a 2k split of 1:44, I arrived at the following:
4×30″ on 30″ off at 293W (1:46 split)
5’/1′ at 212W (1:58 split)
10×20″/10″ at 258W (1:50 split)
10′ at 198W (2:01 split)
10×20″/10″ at 258W (1:50 split)
5’/1′ at 212W (1:58 split)
4×30″ on 30″ off at 293W (1:46 split)
I found this quite OK to do, but when I wrote down the splits I didn’t know about the row2k description, which is much faster. Not sure if I did it right or wrong now and what it means for my 2k pace. I prepared a cheat sheet and did the workout.
Here are the charts:
The Seismogram
Here are the Pie Charts. I think the Power Pie chart is a colorful beauty:
And the flex charts:
Unfortunately, there were too many intervals and they were too short for the interval editor to do its work well, so I couldn’t filter out the “rest” strokes. Well, at 20″ on, 10″ off, the rest strokes are not plenty.
Well, I guess I will do my 2k attempt at 1:44 pace … I should have listened to our coach and done the 2x750m.
Still, this was a fun workout to do. But I am afraid that at the paces described by row2k, it is a much harder one.
Update
I upgraded the interval parser, so now I could edit the intervals:
