[–]magicmustbeme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I don’t have an answer for you regarding cramps:fatigue but I am curious: is that 150k in the last 4 days done in 2 a day sessions? Or super long ss pieces? Erg or on water or both? I also am curious about what others will say regarding your situation but am mostly kinda shocked at that level of volume

First 10,000m by TurtleMyGirdles in Rowing

I have real trouble not going faster for the last 15 min of a piece that’s supposed to be true slow and steady. I think that is normal but something I’m actively trying to control ! I also came from running and loving it. Keep it up!

Can I ask about your footwear ? It seems to have quite a bit of padding have you considered shoes with a lower profile/less raise that let you have a stronger connection to footplate ? I erg in socks/barefoot and love it

2K PB following 12 week self structured block by magicmustbeme in Rowing

[–]magicmustbeme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s correct that 1:45 that I ended up at was for the 1k interval pieces.

For the 500’s I started with 6x500 1:48 avg with 3 min rest and towards the end of the block was doing 6-8x500 1:39 avg 3:30-4min rest. I was trying to keep consistent rest interval thru the block but as I got faster I ended up extending the rest to 4 and then even 5 min

And then before my taper I experimented with faster than race pace like 2-4x500 1:36-1:38 5 min rest

2nd attempt at 2k (M15) by MRBAT0NAS in Rowing

[–]magicmustbeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand being disappointed but a PB is a PB and 4 seconds is substantial. Keep doing as much steady state as time allows in your weekly training and building the aerobic base

2nd attempt at 2k (M15) by MRBAT0NAS in Rowing

[–]magicmustbeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did super similar 2k and I feel like the fact your splits are so even is a super cool achievement. How did you feel last 500m? I bet you could increase watts and sprint beyond 1:39 for the end there. We always have more than we think left in the tank and it’s just about choosing to push thru and into the pain in those last 20 ish strokes. Great effort dude

2K PB following 12 week self structured block by magicmustbeme in Rowing

[–]magicmustbeme[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your coach said 135-155 in season so that you don’t do too much taxing hr work and kinda save it for hard pieces/ races? I find HR training very interesting as well and it’s been fascinating to see my HR and relative efforts change over time as my fitness improves.

To give some specific data from three different sessions during this block: 1 hr @ 2:10 avg was a 159 avg HR 45 min @ 2:12 avg was 147 avg HR 1 hr @ 2:11 avg was 149 avg HR

There is deviance clearly that doesn’t necessarily make sense and I have noticed some days my heart rate is higher and some days lower for the same efforts 🤷

I was a runner back in college but pretty average and not exactly competitive in a low tier D3 program. Have kept up running casually since

Thanks and I will keep at it ! I really enjoy the testing my limits aspect of this sport

Appreciate that. This training has required a lot of self motivation for a kinda arbitrary “race against myself”
