Niall<br /><br />"If not me then who". One of my heroes, Gary Kasparov, use to have a poster with this written on over his bed when he was a boy. The answer is always someone else, so it might as well be you.<br /><br />Sometimes it is about confidence! I KNOW I will go under seven minutes eventuall...

Niall<br /><br /><br />I'm back at 7:08 for the 2000m. If you don't do sub-7 now, I will, soon. Get it done mate!! I'll be at BIRC but just watching. However, the next race ...<br /><br />No regards. I have my serious face on. <br /><br />Bernard Pru

Hi all<br /><br /><br /><br />Great PB Niall mate!! Sounds as though you're tuning up nicely for BIRC and sub 7. It looks to me as it's all there ready to go.<br /><br />I'm coping ok with AT now and my fast times are coming down, so all is ok with me at the moment.<br /><br />Good luck with the Wol...

Hi all<br /><br /><br />Great pictures Martin. Interesting blog entry Niall. I tend to do a 15 minute warmup rather than 20 and I try to add technique drills I picked up along the erging journey in there as well. It sounds like a useful and informative session..<br /><br />After a marvellous, relaxi...

Hi all<br /><br /><br />Well, everyone is really putting in some quality stuff now. I am trying to focus on enjoying my workouts at the moment. My performance improves when I'm having fun!<br /><br />I finished my second AT workout today and now feel ready to start attacking the AT workouts from Mon...

Hi Godfried<br /><br /><br />Good to see you're getting ready to pull the chain again.<br /><br />Well, I completed my first AT session today and yes, it hurt. I suppose this is a step up in pace for me and so I must expect it to be tough. I even did a 15 minute UT2 row to warm up. <br /><br />Still...

Hi<br /><br /><br />Congratulations to Carla on reaching 500k and the impressive 10k. <br /><br />Great performance Martin in your competition. You must be some rower. I hope I'm doing those kind of times when I'm 55+. I don't think I'll be ready in time for BIRC, so I'll probably race in Cardiff, t...

Hi all<br /><br />The coming week sees the sixth week since my return to regular training, so I think now is a good time to gauge where I am.<br /><br />I can't complain about erging more than 500k metres in five weeks, so I can see my psychology is ok, motivation good and stamina is improving daily...

Hi<br /><br /><br />I'm hoping to complete 500k by the end of this week(Sunday is definitely a rest day for me). Did some interval training with 2500 metre warmup and warm down, making a total of 8000 metres for the day. This is lower than usual but necessarily so.<br /><br />1.5 hour row tomorrow m...

<br />If in rowing a 10k I rowed my fastest ever 5k then it has to be my personal best for a 5k because it's my fastest ever 5k. How else would you describe a personal best?<br /><br />I'm afraid I voted yes on this. A pb is a pb is a pb.

Hi all<br /><br /><br />Rowed a half marathon rather than two hours as I had other matters to attend to.<br /><br />Tests tomorrow and then an hour on Monday morning.<br /><br /><br />regards<br />Bernard Pru

Hi all<br /><br /><br />Finally back into the swing of things. I managed 13k today, which included a series of five fast paced 10 minute rows with 3 minutes in between. The times were around the 2:07/500 which suggests things are slowly coming together. The stroke rate was between 20 and 23 spm.<br ...
