I wasn't sure what time to aim for so figured I'd just go sub 1.45 and see how that went. I never seriously felt that I was going to miss the time target, although the last interval was close to a max effort so I didn't have a huge amount left in me. I'll do it with 1.44 as the target next time.

ave 1.42.2/500 which was a 2.2 second /500 improvement on the previous time I did it. Coming in, my plan was to attempt to beat 1.43.0 for each rep but that proved a little conservative.
definitely a lot more pain than last time and my lungs were burning for the final 3. was close to a max effort - I actually thought the 6th interval was the 7th, so went a little harder figuring I only had one more left...and when I realised my mistake, I was a little fearful I may blow up, so was happy to hold it together, albeit I didn't have much left in the tank for a fast finish on #8
I haven't worked through my rowing plan for the rest of the week - I'd like to attempt a fast 1k on the weekend, but I'll see how I feel
