Why Row For One Hour, Part II

Another reason for doing one hour sessions for the past 3 weeks+ is that if the session is set to a particular DISTANCE instead of a time, there's a temptation to push too hard, just for the sake of getting it over with.  Which can lead to over-training.  Which is bad. 

So a set time seems best in light of the above reasoning.

Today's session started out on a wave of absent-mindedness when I turned on the tv, became distracted and just started rowing.  After 47.7 seconds, I realized that the session had not been set up yet and RowPro was in what both RowPro software and the Concept 2 hardware coincidentally refer to as "just row" mode.

The first 47.7 seconds of rowing while mentally distracted.

So I stopped "just row(ing)" and set up an hour session with a painted heart-rate target zone.  The painted target zone was mostly disregarded, because I continued the rest of the hour mostly distracted by what was being broadcast on television. 

But the original intention of doing an hour of easy rowing, somewhere between the levels of mild perspiration and sweating was accomplished.  It was mostly in Heart Rate zone 1.

Finish screen for today's somewhat distracted rowing.

RowPro functioned correctly today and displayed all 20 splits instead of combining 14 of them into one split like it did yesterday.

See you on the river, sometime, perhaps.
