You know the difference between needing rest and just needing a reason to start. You've learned when to push and when to ease off. That instinct is already there — this session is just about giving yourself permission to use it. Close your eyes for the first few strokes. Feel where you are today. Trust what you find. Then row to that, not to a number on a screen. 21 minutes of easy, low intensity rowing plus a 4-minute cool down. Your pace. Your effort. Your call.
