126: UT1 and UT2, It’s life, but not as you know it

Get Fit To Row….. Join The Crew

If you’re yet to discover the joy of knowing what your heart rate training zones are then don’t worry you’re probably in good company.

Most people I train or coach through Get Fit To Row have never known the value and benefits of heart rate training.

Yesterday I when down to my local gym to do a short training session, I needed to get out of the house.

But I felt tired, well my head was tired, but the rest of me was well-rested.

My plan was to do a UT 1 session because I knew I could do it, I’d been feeling fit and strong whilst doing my UT2 session over the weekend so a UT1 would help up my game.

I did 8 x 500m with 2 mins rest at Heart rate 165-183.

As I did this session I started thinking, if everyone knew a bit more science around getting fit maybe they would enjoy getting fit.

I thought maybe it was time that I started putting some thoughts down as to how I have learnt to value heart rate training and UT2 and UT1, so I’ve started a new page on the website where I’ll share knowledge and reference info.
