Well, after 3+ month of hard training I did my Full Marathon yesterday. My aim was to row it at 1:48 pace at 24spm.<br />I am very happy with my result. My time was 2 hrs 31mins.28.7 secs which is a average split 1:47.7 at 24spm.<br />I stopped at 30K for 8 seconds to refuel, I just made this single...

A productive session on Sunday for me with the training for my Marathon. My plan was to row 120mins at 24spm with a target distance of 33400m.<br /><br />Finished with a better result than I could have wished for- 33512m in 120mins which is 1:47.5 at 24spm.<br />I did not have to stop for fluid whic...

Some nice sessions Ranger<br><br>I am guessing that you rowed your 5K at 26spm, I think we are round about the same sort of form as each other, I can row a 1:45 pace 5K at 22spm at a push, 24spm is fine for me.<br><br>I only did 60 mins UT2 & 40 mins UT1 yesterday. I am hoping to row just over 33400...

Ranger, Thank you for your kind words.<br>My aim at this current time is to row a Full Marathon at 1:48 pace, this is why I do a lot of UT1 & UT2 sessions, current data shows that I should be able to row this with an average of 24spm I would aim to row it at a lower rate if possible. I think it will...

Todays sessions.<br>Morning. 60mins UT2, 30mis UT1<br>Afternoon. Various sessions including 25mins at 1:48.5 pace with 500m bursts of 1:43<br><br>

I agree with you PaulS, HOW did he come up with that? I would be interested to see the math behind this statement.<br>

I hope to make the trip down to this event

Ranger, have you found any variation in your HR? eg, Weather, time of day, mood?<br>If you did not skip for an hour would you be able to hold your UT2 (1:52 @ 22 spm) below 156 bpm for a while longer. Could the skipping be giving distorted figures while doing your rowing, due to the prolonged warm-u...

I have been lurking for a while and have now registered on this forum. You Taffs have a great team spirit, it is good see. <br><br>3 Hours for a Full Marathon is very good going Chris, well done. I will try and row one later in the year (maybe )<br>
