Re: [Paddlewise] Race Training.

After you have a good endurance base in the boat, do one session of
intervals per week.  Intervals should be at max effort for 1 to 5 minutes
per rep for up to10 reps, depending on what you're comfortable with.  My
best strength is in endurance, but my racing and ability to get off the
starting line improved dramatically when I began incorporating intervals
into my routine.  Sometimes I do 10 sets of 1 minute intervals or sometimes
I do 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 ladder.  Don't overdue it at first.

If you like gadgets, a heart-rate monitor is useful for telling how hard you
are working.
