6x500 at 1:41.0 or below was the plan. Slightly higher DF and shortened strokes but this time I did it. Last two were tough. Excellent ef…

2k warm up

SS hour, UT2 the whole way. A bit boring in the middle today.

Extra metres

Fast, tough 5k. Just checking fitness. Not done fast 5k in a while. This was tough but not brutal. Well paced. This was my 5th fastest 5k…

Warm up

First half marathon for ages. Didn’t go crazy, just under 2:05 average. Should try for PB over coming months. Stopped for a drink j…

Good 2k rate 20. Some strong pulling although I am not very strong these days. First Monday session in ages. Doing better but need more s…

This was just another 2k prep piece. I'm really not sure I could have done another 500 at this pace. Maybe, but not sure. It was qui…

Warm up 5k

SS 12k, good session. First 60k week in ages and average back up to 50k.

Longest row for a while, easy pace. Sensible session.

2k at brisk 2:00 but with slow 3rd split and fast final 500. Getting lactic burn in forearms pretty bad this session.

Failed 6x500 at sub 1:41.0. Bottled it. Physically, I can do this. Try again soon.

Easy warm up

Speed test. Took ages to get to 1:42.5 target speed. This felt nasty. Thought about HD. I think I need a bit more easy rowing next few da…

Brisk then SS, 45 minutes. First 25 mins, just over 6k, at or under 2:00.0 then slow to the end. Bit tired.

Brisk 2k to finish

Absolutely shattered from the 2k at the weekend although definitely much improved today. Just need to keep at it so good to do a slow, se…

Variable speed 5k. Too hot down here now, plus very humid. Decent session but poor 2k.

Easy warm up for the 2k later

Warm up metres for the 2k.

This was a check to see how many splits I could drop in final 200m. Was at 1:42.5 at 300m and ended up at 1:40.5 average. Last two 100m s…

SS metres before 2k tomorrow. Still very hot. 19c in cellar. 27c outside.
