Did 40 minutes of AD Pro intervals for 90 second sprints and 60 seconds off (slow pedaling). Then 15 minutes on the rower for cool down.
@aokoye - yeah, I hurt the back doing rowing with terrible form on a "low rate" CTC ("Cross Team Challenge" for online monthly competitions between clubs). Was thinking (or not thinking) that I could break 20 minutes on a 5K @ 19 SPM. Not a great idea when my PB is only a bit under 19:30 for the 5K! I finished with a decent time (for me) and finished my back for three months and counting. Wife was livid because we had a move coming up and I was growing to get out of a chair.
Doing OTW with the BPP (beginner Pete Plan) would be a challenge. We have a lot of OTW rowers join our virtual club in the Winter months and then fall off and compete in the OTW season. I don't blame them, too demanding doing both. The huge advantage of OTW is obvious, it's more fun and the live comradere. Plus, you have someone live, everyday you row, watching your form. That's the disadvantage to indoor rowing. Though I've gotten pretty decent at it, even my form slips a lot in subtle ways and, before I know it, I'm in sloppy habits that are hard to break.
The main advantage of indoor rowing is mental self discipline. We have first time OTW rowers stunned at some of the mental brutality that some of us indoor folks put ourselves through. Especially former college crew. They HATE 2K tests. Despise them. It's like someone waterboarded them in college. I quite enjoy the full Pete Plan, doing as many as four of them in a row. Indoor rowers also have amazing control of pace. I know many indoor rowers that can throw out an hour on the erg with identical SRs and paces every single split nearly every time. Not that OTW rowers don't have that but they are not as into metrics from what I've seen. They leave the metrics up to their coaches and the cox and just are great "foot soldiers". Let's face it, if you're college crew, you do 200K a week, so they break them down mentally so they don't think, just do.
I also envy OTW rowers. The new house was between Tucson (in the mountains) and Chandler (near Phoenix). Chandler has an OTW rowing club that crosses over to indoor training. It would have been right down the road for me. We chose Tucson, so I might have to wait till retirement to actually get in a real boat!

@MikePfirrman I'm sorry to hear that about your back. I remembered correctly that you hurt it, but not how you did so. I suppose if there's one thing I'm good at, it's knowing when not to push myself when I fear injury (vs "omg this is really hard but I won't hurt myself if I keep going").
The only way I'd be able to do BPP is if I modified it because I'm not willing to workout six days a week right now (see injury and high potential for burn out). Ideally it'd be something like Mon: OTW, Tues: erg, Wed: rest, Thurs: OTW, Fri: erg, Sat: OTW, Sun: rest. With that schedule I'd do say, week three (the week I started this week) workouts across one and a half weeks. So Tuesday I did workout 1/3, Tomorrow will be 2/3, and next Tues will be 3/3 as I'm not doing the optional two. If I rowed on the water five plus days a week there's no way I'd be able to erg another two days, unless I had the ability to take a nap in between OTW and erging. If and when begin learning how to scull, this plan will be thrown on the window
Over the winter I was doing 3-4 sessions of erging (over 3 days) a week and one day on the water. Those workouts...even the shorter evening ones were killer. That's also probably why it was so exceedingly easy to create a deficit.2 -
Took an hour long yoga class.1
-
Two 30 minute walks.1
-
Sore from yesterday's back on the fitness pony workout so today is officially a rest day.1
-
I walked a mile in the surf along Cocoa Beach in Florida. Kicking through the water is good resistance. I would usually walk much further, but I’m fighting a cold right now, and they say that I should be resting.1

Erg - 2x2k/4:00 rest. I also did a 500m warmup without footstraps.
Apparently ergdata didn't want to log the workout on my phone which is a first but oh well. My split for the second 2k interval was around 2:09 and the first was a bit faster. My goal was to do a steady stateish effort.1 -
45 min SoulCycle, 30 min resistance training - lots of squats and my new fav - crescent 🌙 moons kicks - ouch 🔥0

Power 5 KB complex with a 20kg KB - swing x 5 R then L, snatch x 5 R then L, clean x 5 R then L, rack squat x 5 R then L, overhead press x 5 R then L equals one round. Completed 4 rounds in 13:43 - planned on 5 rounds but threw in the towel after 4 rounds - L overhead press is weak, had to push press 5th rep on 3rd round and push press all reps on 4th round. Think it's my weight loss. Gotta work on it and getting all 5 rounds completed. Next time.0
