Workout for Wednesday June 6, 2007

Today is a steady state row. If you have the time, extend it to 60 minutes with varying stroke rates.

In class we will only have time for 40 minutes.

Steady State: 40 minutes
PACE: 65% @ +10, +8, +6, +4 (over 5K pace)
4, 3, 2, 1 @ 20, 22, 24, 26 (x 4)

Today is an opportunity to get maximum length and reach and blend the power from the legs to the finger tips in the right order of body application. Because it is a recovery row, it should be a nice 65% effort. It will get up to about 75% at the 26 rating, but the heart rate should drop again as you go back to the 20 rate. We learn through repetition, so this workout ought to provide the opportunity to ingrain it into the muscle memory and focus.

I'd love to see more comments from the class & still feel like a beginner but will comment anyway. After a week of stress/illness rowing today was hard on my quads especially (also did a walk yesterday to Coit Tower which may have contributed). Came to class pledging to 'take it easy' but must've pushed without realizing it. Consistency should help me!

Thanks Duncan (& everyone in class),
Judith

thanks Judith! Coming back from sickness always jolts the system a little, but it is normal and a little soreness just means your mind is strong and raring to go.
