Back on the canal today, for one of the sessions I enjoy – Bridge Fa(h)rts.<\/p>\n

This stretch of the Lancaster Canal lends itself nicely to this session – basically paddle a mixed intervals session, using the gaps between the bridges to dictate the work\/rest periods.<\/p>\n

So the format here:
\nPaddle out for an extended 30′ warm-up, lifting it slightly after 10′ to a fast cruise pace working on technique to the 30′.<\/p>\n

Then turn (just after a bridge of course) and the work starts for the way back.<\/p>\n

Alternate hard \/ easy efforts from bridge to bridge. As the gaps between the bridges are not equal the work\/rest ratio isn’t either: the gaps stretch from under 1 min to around 5 mins.<\/p>\n

If I start at the first bridge then the work efforts tend to be longer and if I start on the following bridge then the rest efforts tend to be longer.
\nIt’s a good sess that brings a little bit of everything, including on a good day, peace and quiet, kingfishers and nosey cows.<\/p>\n

Today it was a case of fast boat \ud83d\ude03 big blades \ud83d\ude03 but little arms. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Bridge Farts – always a good ‘un.<\/p>\n
