5k Row

In an attempt to put myself in your shoes, I keep racking my brain with the same question over and over. “Why does the majority feel it’s so hard to come back after a break?”

The answers I come up with are mostly psychological. In fact, the consensus on peaking for physical performance usually requires a stop in ones training. There can be benefits from rest.

Maybe it’s the fear of being sore. Well that’s not that hard to fix, the answer is scaling.

Perhaps is not performing in the same place as before. Well, that’s an easy one too, check your ego at the door.

Take today’s WOD. A 5k row. It’s an easy thing to consider if your training has been sparse over the last month. First option is to take your time, but get through it. If your pr was 20:00 minutes, averaging a 2:00 minute pace, than set a slower pace, somewhere between 2:05 and 2:10. If half way through you have some left in the tank than step it up. If not, keep it where you’re at. Or, consider the intensity you are trying to hit, that 2:00 minute pace, but only row for 3k. All easy scenario’s, and all can be decided before your workout. It’s something you and your coach will consider before the workouts.

And, Mads and I were thinking it’d be nice to get the gang together again, something fun like the Christmas pot luck. I’m just not sure what to do. Anyone have an idea????

Oh yeah

definately appealing to the sentiment jordan…how about just telling people to get off their duff’s to avaid the dreaded saggy gut. the core group you have encouraged over the last while will return and bring others to strive for more.i’m using my boy as my motivator…he is chasing me on every workout..

I’m up for a social event. It could be a welcome back to our wayward friends! We’ll get them to drink the Koolaid again! I could host if needed.

If you want to buy a car, you will have to receive the mortgage loans. Furthermore, my sister all the time uses a sba loan, which supposes to be really fast.
