So the quote provided by Andy suggests it is the pace that needs multiplying.

I can see that your "decreasing pace" refers to the pace numbers getting smaller as opposed to the rate numbers getting bigger, ie "increasing". But the pace numbers getting smaller means that you were going faster and (to me) getting faster is increasing the pace. Hmmm?

Many thanks for all the kind donations and good wishes. We have a plan, but may have to modify mid-row. Bizarrely C2 are insisting that we record in the agreed format of 2 intervals of 900,000 and 100,000 so no need to set up the splits beforehand. While we hope to manage 2:30 splits for the majorit...

I think I've only had a handle slip out of my hands once in 17 years of using my D, so would gamble on those odds .

If your hands get sweaty it can happen, possibly 3 occassions this season so far for me so definitely a risk, mainly in the summer if you don't use anything to aid grip.

Its not excel, but the FreeSpirits site has a meterboard that pulls data from the logbook from all freespirits participants (see link to site in signature). Jon Taylor maintains this on our behalf and has upgraded this through various upgrades.

I'll bear them in mind, but think they might taste a bit sickly, especially as I will be drinking sugar drinks, but everyone has said have a variety so will get a box. Milk was on the agenda anyway.

Even 1 week with not a lot of activity does something to you. https://log.concept2.com/profile/2501432/log/97704080 Pete reckoned that for each 1 week without rowing he added 1S/500m onto splits on the return. Obviously the amount depends on any cross training and how aggressive he targets are. It ...

Many thanks everyone.

We hope to post updates on the Freespirits Forum at https://www.freespiritsrowing.com/forum ... php?t=4294 if anyone wants the gory details while it is ongoing. It remains to be seen whether it was "brave" or fool hardy

Great result Sascha. Bad luck on 500 start. It is always bad as clock starts on "row" so you are behind from the start as opposed to normal TTs when start when you pull. THat must have really blown your strategy. Great 1k given limited rest from 500 and no real warm up.

Today I managed to do 4 x 1300m, rest 5 mins @2K+1.

IMO, you need to retest your 2k.

I used 4 x 1250 r4' as pacer for my 2.5k and it was 1-1.5S slower than 2k, so doable but at the limit and too fast for regular training IMO.

Thanks Dougie, that is the one. Well last row before now done, a long wait for the start now with nothing to do but get all my food and drinks together

Ian Barnes and I will start an attempt to be the first lightweight tandem to complete 1,000,000M on Friday morning. As you may be aware, as a "team" the rules require us to keep the flywheel spinning throughout the whole distance so we will essentially be rowing continually for what we expect to tak...

For what it's worth, I installed legacy ErgData on an old phone that doesn't hold a charge very well. Using that and a USB-B -- micro-USB cable, I am in business without a log card. Does that mean that with a connection I can run Ergdata on PM3? Ha! From what I can remember they can hold between 1&...

Hello, everyone. I've done a pretty good search and am not finding a conclusive answer to this question: My current 2K time was 7:38, yielding a 1:54 split. For my next L2 workout I don't know whether to use 90% of the watts of the 2K split (233.8W) (this yields a 1:59 split or 210W), or to multipl...

Iain - I just checked and appear to have 3 unused cards. They'll need formatting - presume your PM3 is good for that? - fired up my old one and it prompts me to format these cards. PM your address and I'll pop them in the post. MAny thanks, they arrived yesterday and the first has now been used :D
