Great you got it done and a very respectable result, too! Not so great with the flywheel, but happy there was no serious damage or even injury happening :shock: Same here mate, 2 attempts, 2 fails on 7 min interval! Trying to hit my 5k pace from 2 months ago. Not happening. I will do it sensibly to...

I've been real busy with work the last couple of weeks. Have kept my streak alive, mostly with 30 minute sessions of UT2, which has paid off, lowering my UT2 pace (HR <= 122) from ~2:43 to ~2:28. One day I fell asleep on the couch but got up at 11:51 PM to row 100 m! But now I will have more time a...

Do you have anything more substantial than "If I Recall Correctly" and approximate times? A name, a race where the performance occurred, how the training was documented? You made the claim, so you should have actual knowledge that it is correct. Wow, you really do take things seriously, dont you? S...

Speaking of hyperbole...

I'm also curious. How have you surmised that this is hyperbole? Or is at an objective statement based on actual knowledge that it's incorrect?

Although PPs named Beginner/2k/5k they can all be effective for everyone from newbie to erging god - as indeed Pete was in his prime and still is in age group! The 2k and 5k are focussed as the names suggest so decide what you're aiming to test. Most other plans are aimed at 2k but they all work an...

Short row today as the sweaty weather row caused some chaffing inbetween my cheeks that monday's row exacerbated. (and I've no barrier cream/vaseline in the house - and it's position = not practical to try to cover it)

Ouch!!!

Hopped on the rower and selected CTC from Ergzone, started hard on the first one to see where I am. 1:32s in the beginning, early fading and burning in the end. 2nd and 3rd flat paced to get below 1:40 average.

Not sure a universal perfection exists actually as we all need at least minor adaptations for how we're put together as individuals. IMHO, the perfect technique is the one that makes you the most efficient you can be, and that is bound to be different for different people. Just look at the signific...

My first thought is, how much do you drink in a day, and wouldn't increasing that be an option? I probably drink about four litres in total, i.e., plain water, green tea, and coffee. I do take creatine, partly as Dangerspouse does (proven to be very useful for menopause) but I'd not have an issue wi...
