Every 1000m: 25 Push-ups

This was hard today. It is warm out and I go for a ruck every morning at 5A. My core temp was up there when I got back, so the last 2k of the row was about 2:10/500m. Took a cold shower after and feel much better.

10x 500m sprints. Various exercises in between rows.

Been a while, I know. Been doing some ruck-based workouts and ran a couple of 5ks. Since racing season is upon us, I am going to be integrating running and more intense ruck workouts in with the rowing. Probably a 5-6 day split based in what is going on during the weekend. Something like:

Monday: row
Tuesday: ruck
Wednesday: running
Thursday: row
Friday: ruck
Saturday: running/event

I haven't run in 5 months and I felt it last weekend. Still going for that 1M meters for rowing, but will slow down the pace until it gets cold again.

Stomach flu sucks. Once you get over it, you're still feeling weak. I usually need 4-5 days of eating just to get the calories back. Glad you're back in it.

I’m going to have to start adding in some running as well. My wife is helping to organize a 5k in September and I’d like to make a good showing. Ideally I want to try to split running in the morning and rowing in the evening. That may be too ambitious though.

How about doing the Couch to 5k program with both running and rowing? Starts off easier and gradually builds up as you progress. One in the morning and the other in the evening.

That’s probably what I need to do. I ran pretty regularly last summer, doing 12-20 miles a week. I tapered off when it got cold, then quit altogether when I started rowing. I’m definitely ready to mix it up again.

Been playing with the damper settings more and more to be more efficient. Best 500m today was 1:46. Noticed that when I have a harder leg drive, the splits are faster. Also been watching a lot of YouTube videos to make sure my form is good.

Still here, guys.  Taking a rest break but wanted to pop in and wave.

I was working toward a big event, and it went really well.  More so than I would have thought.

Basically, I went dancing for 4 days at a huge music festival (EDC).  The last day, I danced for 8+ hours and was still strong at the end.  Danced my wife out at the end before she collapsed.

She said it was better than our honeymoon.  We've been married 37 years, and I'll take that comment to the bank.

I’ve been out working on my 5k time. Hard not to get up and run on 60 degree mornings. I’m right on the cusp of dipping below an 8 minute/mile average.

What are you doing to get there?  Just slowly trimming run times, or are you doing shorter distances of speedwork?  Usually the second gets you there more effectively.  (HS/college track guy)

Right now I’m doing shorter runs. I’m able to do 2.3-2.8 miles at a sub 8 minute mile pace. I’m thinking about starting a 6 week 5k training program later in the summer.

I really think that rowing has made a huge difference for me. My 5k pace last December was in the high 8’s or low 9’s. That was after running all summer and fall. Rowing has greatly improved my leg strength and cardiovascular capacity.

I've found rowing to be an excellent exercise to increase the body's work capacity while distributing the load to avoid point-of-failure limitations or overuse injuries.

When I said speedwork, what I was thinking about wasn't slightly shorter distances at "race pace," which is what you describe and which people often use to try to creep past a goal.  Interval work is another approach used by athletes up to world-class.  With a goal of 3k at 8 min/mile, you might, for example, get onto a local track.  Run 8x200 meters at faster than your 8 minute pace.  Recover by jogging or walking the second half of the track.  Then take off again.  8x200 is about a mile, but at a faster pace it's a different workout and a good one.  If that's too easy, make it 300 meters on, 100 off.  If you're a masochist, make it an even lap at blistering pace.  Or whatever.  But the idea is to get your legspeed up and your stride lightened, which will take you past your goal faster than you might suspect.  And working with pain in shorter intense bursts, such as what you get in an interval workout, strengthens you mentally.  But be forewarned:  For many athletes, interval work is a genuine love/hate relationship.  You love the results, but the workouts ...

Generally, varying speed in a normal bit of road training too is a well-accepted approach since the '70s I think (fartlek), increasing fitness and decreasing boredom.  Even in rowing, "Give me 10 good ones" is a thing.  So burst up a hill, then recover at a slower pace.  Hit the jets on a long straight and stride out, then slow down.  Etc.  Think "surge."
