My default response to substandard performance on the rower is to blame the equipment. The rowers at 24 hr. fitness are trashed and so I felt completely justified in accusing the machine of not responding. The last few intervals of today's workout I got the thing down to where I wanted it but I had to work really hard so, of course, it was the rower's fault. Wasn't it?
THURSDAY'S WORKOUT
Row 10 x 500/1:30 RI
2:26.2/2:20.1/2:14.3/2:08.6/2:06.7/2:06.1/2:05.5/2:05.7/2:16.9/2:13.7
The last two intervals were play time:
on number 9 I did 10 hard strokes followed by 10 easy strokes
on number 10 I did a ladder of 5 hard/5 easy - 10 hard/5 easy - 15 hard/5 easy - 20 hard/5 easy
on the recovery heart rate chart I got a 3.9 which is the top end of good.
This is arrived at by taking your heart rate immediately at the end of the exertion and then again 1 minute later. You subtract the second number from the first and divide by 10 and this value puts you on the chart:
2 -2.9 Fair
3 - 3.9 Good
4 - 5.9 Excellent
6+ Outstanding
