Rest Day 10/11:

Go For a Walk!

(Along a River if Possible)

Life get’s crazy, especially this time of year as we gear up for fall parties and the holidays.  Take 15 minutes today to stop.  Breathe.  And go for a walk.  If you’ve got a river or body of water nearby go for a stroll and watch some rowing.  How does the boat move in relation to the body?  What part of the stroke does the boat move the fastest?  How’s the form look compared to your erging?

If you’re lucky enough to do this please share your thoughts, where you were, and what you saw!

Rowing WOD 6/19:

8 x 500m w/ 1:45 Rest

1st/2nd – Like start of 2k

3rd/4th – Like 2nd 500 of 2k

5th/6th – Like 3rd 500 of 2k

7th/8th – Like finish of 2k

This is a great opportunity to focus on a few tactical aspects of the 2k and get in some solid race pace work.  Try to keep a consistent pace over all 8 or “negative split” toward the end if you’re feeling good.  Negative splitting means you pull a faster split than you did the last piece.

Post your split for each piece and share what you focused on!

Life’s Crazy, Go For A Walk! – Daily Challenge 5/19

Life can get crazy and schedules can fill up fast.  That doesn’t mean you should just give in to the pressure.  Sometimes taking 5 minutes to step outside and breath can be extremely refreshing.  Tomorrow looks gorgeous in the Boston area, but no matter where you are get outside and enjoy life for a few.  Find a river, go for a walk, enjoy the little things.

Daily Challenge 5/19:

Go for a 5 minute walk outside!  If you have a body of water nearby, go walk along it.  Sure it would be nice to go for a five-minute row, but even just walking along the water can be freeing.
