A much better row today. Dragged the erg outside and took benefit of the cool breeze. It was still pretty warm in the sun but the breeze made it so much more controllable. It’s amazing the difference in staying cool and the effect it has on the body – especially when doing HR controlled sessions.
See the following article on the Q Power website http://www.q-power.co/Heart_Race_or_Pace.html
Had to get some distance in so broke the session down and did 18k (3x6k) 2 min rests. Was HR capped at 75% and hit all 3 sets pretty consistent so was pleased to be faster than expected pace.
Brings an end to a frustrating few days. Felt strong today and gives me confidence going into tomorrows rest day and the next training cycle that Q will send out later.
Will try and row outside where possible now to avoid the heat and HR problems.
