Week 3 – Monday 10pm

Monday was interval-rowing. 5 min at 100 watts 29-30 strokes per minute, then 5 minutes at 150+ watts at 34-36 strokes per minute. I did 3 each for a total 30 minute workout. Near the end of my last rest I was feeling “worried” that I wouldn’t be able to do my final 5 minutes but somehow I just relaxed my body and suddenly had more energy than I needed. As I’m going harder/further I’m realising how important each extra little bit of energy and efficiency is. Small improvements add up; 2% due to better shoes, 2% due to more efficient shirt/shorts, 2% due to relaxing everything but my legs, 2% due to better posture, 2% due to better form. I know these are totally made up numbers but it’s neat to think of how just by doing these things better I may experience some much better results.
