Jamie,

good to hear your back, R u still on xeno programe??

Hope your back feeling better!

Training is going well, starting to focus more on water work as well as erg. Has anyone heard from jamie?

csabour That 5lbs will be water in the muscles, so not much help! Firstly, creatine will help you recover faster if taken properly and and help increase energy levels over a shot distance only . You have to have a loading phase for this, which is about 15g a day for a full week! then you have a main...

LOL, Yes you are right, but I was sitting at 1.43 splits for the first 1500 and only finished at 1.45 in the last, so could have been 6.52-53.
But yes three seconds faster than my last 2k(which was a pb, 6.58)

Thanks

Well, just pulled a pb and nothing to spare

6.55.7 Rate 31

Lost it in the last 500

Good luck to all those doing 2k test today and tomorrow

Well coming up to my first 2k test in six months and not looking forward to it at all! Alow I have pulled another pb on the 80mins, at 201.7.
Injoying the training. A fresh approach for me.

That looks bloody impressive, wouldnt like to walk the incline after a few beers!

I think with your current fitness your max heart rate could go higher, no probs

Jamie

What % of heart rate do you do your steady state work?

Monday

Did the 6 x 15 mins( 18-20-22) Pulled around 21800 at 2.03 splits
Happy with that, starting to get back to my old self

Today was 90min made up of 8 x 2 min with 5' recovery
Went well for first time at 90mins covered 20023km, happy with that!

Well, after a long break through illness, started back to training yesterday! And It didnt go to well. Set out to do the the 70' ergo(2x20) And finish up being a 50'(2x10). Today was better, had a little more energy and completed a 60'(2x20) But still not firing on all cylinders. But I will get back...

You are so right, I can pull 118, but still doesnt make me an erging god.

Iv done 118 drag 135, but I have never saw it again!

Forsure, lifting is essential for building strength, but it doesnt make you move a single.
I lift twice a week to build power, but it doesnt replace sculling or erging.
After all thats whats its all about

ok, point taken If you look after technique and flexibility, you wont get back problem! I mean someone as light as me can work very well with 135 drag, a heavyweight should! Progressive overload, a little bit at a time! But when it comes to rowing, lifting is not that important, it helps. It is more...
