Today was an odd and challenging day. I had to split the day up in two sessions. Came in around my lunchtime to hit the session and as soon as I got to the rowing part, I felt under fueled and this definitely affected me mentally. Did the first set without a problem of the 1K, the second was a mental and physical fight. At that point I called it, energy was too low, in a bad head space and wouldn’t have time for a proper cooldown as well. Made sure I got as much fuel as time would allow and would come back to tackle D, D, and EA – Strict MU negatives x 3-4 slow reps (allow toes to touch ground/box to maintain tension through turnover), rest 3 min x 5
B – Split stance DB RDL x 8-10/side, rest 1 min bt sides x 5 sets (build heavier than last week by last set)
Only access to 70lb kb’s, did 10 reps across, did only 8 previous week. Why do these suck so bad.
C – Row 1k @ 1:50-1:52 pace, start a new set every 5 min x 3
+(rest 5 min after third set)
All finished within the time average, however it felt like a fight to stay in that goal pace. Back when I had time to do multiple sessions in a week, hitting target paces was much easier, but today just felt like I was constantly a second too fast or a second too slow. I know it’s more exposure than anything.
D – Row 1k Time trial (
3:14
(split pace per 200)
1:35.2/1:37/1:38.7/1:41.5/1:33
Felt great through the first 500-600 and thought I was going to be able to hang on, legs just couldn’t keep pushing as hard as I wanted, I did feel that early on I might have been over pulling with my arms.
