Just finished another good session.
It was short and sharp today – 30 minutes – and I can still feel a lot of yesterday’s strength work in me. The backs of my legs and my lower back are talking to me, but that’s okay. Those are exactly the bits that are going to drive a Sub-7 2K, so I’m fine with them being awake.
I made it out to the shed and got moving. The pace over the 30 minutes was pretty quick, back up around the speeds I was hitting last year. That feels good. It’s a solid marker that things are heading the right way again.
One thing I keep noticing is how much smoother my technique feels. The torque graph on the rower’s display is the right kind of shape now, not spiky and messy, and that efficiency in the stroke is only going to help when it comes time to actually go for Sub-7.
So yes, good session. Short and sharp, but that’s fine. I’ve got work to do now.
This is The Sub-7 Experiment.
