So this morning's random selector gave me Mr RowAlong's 40-minute push-pace workout: start at 2k+25 and every 4 minutes go 2 secs/500m faster so you end up on the final 4 minutes at 2k+7.

One of those workouts where you need to be truthful with yourself about your current 2k pace!

Sounds like a "fun" session, Muttley. Nice one.

I had a bit of a monster this morning. 3 x 20 minutes @ r22 (UT1/tempo pace). With the warm up and down it clocked in at about 17.5km. Knackered now! But that's another 3 week cycle ticked off and next week is a (relatively) light week again.

17.5km!! I'm tired just thinking about that...

Question for those of you who use ErgData, specifically around interval workouts.

I've noticed that on the WOD workouts they are set up with a specific number of intervals. I can't work out how to do this if I create my own workout, nor can I see how to edit a workout I've created.

Am I being dumb or are these just not an option?

I haven't googled it at all, figured you all might be a more reliable source!

If you set a workout as “constant intervals” it just sets a work and rest period and leaves it open ended.

To set something up with a specific number or intervals I think you’d have to set it as variable but then you have to set each work and rest separately.

I think.

Ah, thanks Nellers, I'll take a look at that. Something in me doesn't like the open-ended aspect!

Just 3 x 12 mins today, lower back is a bit sore for some reason.

I have to give a thimble of blood tomorrow for a blood test. Not allowed any exercise for 48 hours in advance. I am not grumpy.

That would make me grumpy too, Muttley. Does "no exercise" mean you can't go out for a walk or anything? Torture!

I was supposed to surrender my O Pos last week but the GP asked if I'd taken any "vigorous exercise" in the preceding couple of days. I said a steady run of about 8 miles the day before, and the day before that some easy rowing on the erg. That counted as vigorous, I suppose compared to the bulk of the population. The GP is a runner and understood (and approved) but decided to play safe anyway. It's a PSA test which apparently is affected by exercise and especially cycling, although I don't do any of that these days.

I guess vigorous could be defined as above a certain heart rate, would be useful if they could specify. And this may be a stupid question but are there anatomical factors in cycling, which wouldn't apply to rowing or running?
