1 Minute Rest Between Intervals

Focus was on the change in ratio at r24 between 'easy' and 'power' - drive speed is faster and recovery slows down - it is no longer a 1:1, instead closer to 1:2. It can be tempting to get lazy during the 'easy' intervals - don't let the rate slip and keep your pace below 2:30. Held the 'power' intervals a nudge faster than 5K pace.

Went into the garage cold at 530P and just wanted to log some easy meters. Watched The Five while not really paying attention to my split.

Get ready to find your posterior chain muscles today. On each row — especially the final one — don’t hold anything back. Push the pace faster than you want to.

Today is an opportunity to go heavy on a lift we don't see too often. Increase the loading in the warm-up to something challenging and start there. I made the lift at 215, but had to push to lock out when I caught the bar in the split position. Elbows should be out slightly in front of the bar.

Low drag, high rate sprint to close things out - very happy with this time. 

The Perfect PM Memory Screen 
5 sets of 500m // 2 mins rest

The catch here is that all intervals need to be at the same pace and rate to create what is considered a *perfect* screen. Set my goals after finishing the first interval. Just missed that perfect screen, but was pleased with this power output at low rate and low drag. Continue to paddle lightly during rest periods.

This should be a bit of a sprint. Do your best to keep the midline work unbroken and push the pace a bit on the row. Used the green band for the good mornings. Came out too conservative the first two rounds on the rower - everything should be around a 2:00 or faster split. 

Mid Rowing Intervals 
1000m @ 5k pace | Rest 1:30
1000m @ 5k pace | Rest 2:00
1000m @ 5k pace | Rest 2:30
500m @ 2k pace | Rest 1:00
500m @ 1k pace | done! 

No rate specifications. Big screwup on the second interval where I pulled up early and the monitor stopped with 1 meter to go 🤬 which bumped up my split time. That second 500 was torture - legs were so heavy and I hit the wall with about 100m to go. Fight through it and keep the lean and swing and try to increase your rate.
