Cindy 20 min AMRAP 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats. 12 rounds 5 pull ups. Last January I was a few squats short of 9 rounds so this was a decent jump for me.
Some bouldering at Earth Treks this morning. Then decided to hop on the rower and give 2k a shot. Never done it before and have no idea what time should be so I needed to decide on a pace. I figured that if I shot for 2 minute 500s then I should be at 10 minutes for 2k. You have probably already noticed the problem with this. It took me a little longer. Like on the drive home. Science is not my strong point. Anyway, 8:37 with too much left in the tank at the end. For those frequent rowers, what do you use to pace yourself on something like this? Watts, strokes/min, projected time, or just knowing how far you should be in a certain time? Enlighten me.
Lut has it. generally, a drowning sensation is about right. Acute and severe cardio-pulmonary distress. So, I'll leave the math up to you. You are free to use fingers and toes. The answer to your question is complicated nuanced and dependent on many variables, but in a nutshell: YES. Next time: put your damper setting on 4. warm up for a K. Then row around 2:00/500 for as long as you can, keeping your stroke/min around 26. These numbers are like the bubble in a level, they won't stay still. just stay near as you can. keep that pace, you'll row an 8m/2k not terrible and probably doable. as you approach 0 meters, skin yourself if you like, get your best time. your pace will decrease and your strokes will likely increase. note your time. ave s/m, calories. strategy to follow. The 7min/2K is sort of a gold standard for men. You cant do it by accident. Cope's the only we have. Lifetime best for me: 7:14. Current top: 7:54, though I should retest. Welcome to hell. Glad you;ll be with us
HELEN finished off my week, and just about finished me off. I think the clock said 17:25 when I was done...eyes were blurry. All I could think of while working out was " going to hell in a handcart...". Time should definitely be better when the weather changes. I have the rower in the basement for the winter and have to run up the stairs & out in the garage to work out.
Rest day for me.
ReplyDeleteFYI. There are some new xmas abbott pics floating around the interweb. Just saying
Floating. . .like in the hot tub?

ReplyDeleteWhat's a good HELEN time for you guys?
My pullups are definitely an issue. I'll see where I am once I get the rower upstairs and don't have to run the stairs.
DeleteSometimes it seems like Cope is just bragging. But that could be the stomach flu talking.
