M



day 1 of phase 1, 9 workouts total

Take 20 sec off your best 2K row time, divide this number by 4; this is how many sec per 500 m you are going to average on 6 sets of 500 m row sprints with 3 min exactly b/t sets; use a moderate damper and a lower number on the foot pad to ensure power, not pacing.
(ex. If you have a 2K row of 7min, your 6:40 score divided by 4 gives a 1:40/500 m average for 6 sets; if you have a 7:20 2K row best, then you’ll be averaging 1:45/500m…)
Scoring:
post your best 2K score, your ideal avg for today’s wod and your times per set to comments

That's a good on and I may keep it for Friday. What kind of split are you going to follow. I've been enjoying my set Thursday/Sunday rest day so will see if I make the switch.

hey trevor, how are you, have not seen you in a while :)
the traditional template of 3 on 1 off with lots variation...goal is planned progression of work capacity

I hadn't done aq 2 km row so we estimated 7:10. Therefore average is 1:41. Used damper @ 6 and foot position @ 2.

DeeJay said...

best 2k -6:59. Ideal avg would be a 1:35. I can't remember all my times I lost the sheet that had them written down but my average was something like 1:38.2 I think......

Geoff Aucoin said...

1:39.2, 1:39.7, 1:41.1, 1:40.2, 1:28.7, 1:38.6.

Best 2K is 6:58.8, damper was on the line between 6/7.

Tanked it on round 3 & 4, it took me that many rounds to really get the proper feel for this WOD. Good one!

That slaughtered me in a way that can't be completely blamed on sleep deprivation. Rest from the the third interval was supine and convulsive, causing at least one gym colleague to ask if I was ok. Intervals 5 and 6 were focussed on keeping stomach contents in. The last interval was the most consistent, earlier ones tending to start harder than required and finish slower for an approximately 'right' average.

I have never rowed a 2k so I just guessed at 7:20
1:44, 1:48, 1:41, 1:41, 1:50 and no 6th row, for some reason i wrote down 5 sets, pissed at myself.
