Another morning being dragged (literally) around the shops. This time it was raining so the pace increased – it was very embarrassing having to push into UT1 zone to keep up! All done now thank goodness.
Late afternoon it was time to set up in the garage, temperature quite nice around 7 degrees and into a long session. 90 minutes worth of training using 2 different intensity’s but all rate capped at 18. Took on a couple of bananas in the rest periods as well as changing training tops – very sweaty even in the cool air.
First set was mentally quite long and bled the pace off after hitting HR target after 6 minutes or so. Second set was easier and enjoyed lighter pressure as I was tiring and the HR cap was lower (even if the pace was agonisingly slow – just training remember). Much the same in the final set which flew by in comparison. Rowed much of the session by feel and not looking at the screen too much – just the odd courtesy glance to check rate and pace, tried to avoid looking at the time remaining.
A relaxing evening now and into a shorter type interval session tomorrow.
