You only lose if you stop all together! One missed day isn't the end of the world and you shouldn't feel defeated! As long as you get back on that horse you can't lose!
This is amazing and inspiring comrade, keep up the good work(outs)!
I like to listen to chill stuff or podcasts when I row. One of the things that helps me is “no hype,” like if you push yourself every time you workout blaring loud music etc you will eventually burn out. Slow and steady and all that.
If you are primarily rowing you should read this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Rowing/comments/5hohig/a_brief_guide_to_steady_state/
When I was rowing a lot, that helped drop my splits dramatically. It’s all about steady state, which is keeping heart rate in that 120ish range at 16-18 srokes per minute for longer durations. I liked 2x5k with just a brief break to stretch the back
That's good advice, I definitely am the type to push myself and burn out early, I'll look into it and try to implement a more slow-and-steady approach!
