I like the Steve Magness reference, something I hadn't considered but will do my best to remember! Thankfully the foot hangar is still clinging on with only one bolt and the new one is arriving tomorrow I really recommend either reading Steve's IG posts and reading his two books, or listening to th...

edit: I'm really tight on time. Is a squat the easiest/best thing to do a few sets of to improve at rowing. The gym has 4 squat machines and about 8 performance stations where it's open, which would be nice to get in and out quickly. If there's dumbbells as well, I'd definitely recommend doing lung...

Really surprised by this Stu. Hard to see how you would have cocked up the diy. There's only the bolt at each end of the shaft to tighten up. Did you leave them loose or something? Did the bolt shear off at the edge of the hanger like before or somehow different? As you know mine went about 18 mont...

Really not having much luck with it are you!

No, but to be honest, it's probably my fault for most of it. My lack of DIY skills isn't a good starting point, and I was going sub one min pace when it failed...

Too hot to do anything today, do want I'm doing right now. Having a beer.

Great minds think alike...already doing that

Oh, that's bad! Still a good workout in, but can you fix it out is it really broken? I think/hope I can still do steady state, and I ordered the parts this morning, so hopefully only a few days until it's fixed. It's not hanging off, it's just a bit soft when you push too hard, but it won't take a ...

Should have been 8 x 500 3r. With about 50m remaining on the penultimate interval, the hangar shaft bolt snapped AGAIN. I'd like to say it's due to my extreme power, but it's probably due to my poor DIY, or a faulty part. I was just getting into it too, and squeezing more out as my confidence grew, ...

This. Also pleasantly surprised/impressed that Vingegaard got back on. I had a "this is it, the race for the yellow jersey is over already" when Pogacar got a bike length ahead. A though, a ittle part of me is wondering if Pogacar has peaked this season and he's not as invincible as the media are m...

working on form and finding at 18spm feels too slow and my body naturally returns to 20spm, when I'm not actively trying to stay at 18spm. worked on HR control between 130-140bpm ... takes me a while to warm up ... will extend these sessions to build some aerobic fitness. https://ibb.co/DDHC7qdz --...

Also, I wanted an excuse to catch what I could of today's stage of the Tour de France.

I'm quite surprised how quickly Van der Poel crumbled at the finish, or maybe Poggy just outclassed him.
