I’ve been sticking to 30 minute UT2 sessions for a while now - roughly following the RowAlong Row to Get Fit plan.
Today I switched it up a bit and did the ZoomErgo 3x10 min. Each interval split 4/3/2/1min with rating increases within and between each 10 minute. The idea is to row at AT throughout. I tend to push harder in the final 10. Made easier using the ZoomErgo recording of this session run live.
Quite enjoyed putting some effort in for a change.

Yep certainly feel all this is a group effort. Sunday at the giro, was a sad yet a happy day for the Brits for G and Cav what a great gesture from G to lead him out, made me quite emotional watching that. Another tough session today on the 5k plan.

Thanks Iain. I too tend to find that the accountability of posting is often needed to keep me going, plus the feeling that we’re all in this together!!
Nice consistent pace on that final HM Ian - have a great holiday
Started the week back on Session 1 of the 30/30 plan again. I baled early on this one last time, having paced the R24 intervals too fast.
Todays felt tough, but much more controlled

Spider that is a very impressive session, not surprised it took a lot out of you! I agree this is tough (definitely tougher than the speed pyramid I replace with it), but for me not close to the 4x1k and the 750s are supposed to be 1S/500m quicker , I was 0.6S quicker. I have the advantage of coming from a very low base and this is my first cycle through the short intervals. Won't be so easy next time! Today managed first long intervals for over 2 months, the dreaded 4 x 2k. Didn't feel quite 100%, but warm up went ok so decided on a 2:09 initial target (that last session was 2:07.6 on the 15 ..read more

Thx Jon really appreciate all your work, I don’t know if you remember but last season you removed the 2002 entries as they weren’t my times maybe just maybe that could’ve messed things up a bit as they (2002) have reappeared just thought I’d better mention it. Also I must say with regards to my blanket Celeste Bianchi colour scheme I quite prefer not having to put in that extra effort ha ha.
Changing your user name means the tool goes searching for all of your times again, which will be why you have 2002 scores back. I'll take them back out.
Jon
