Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

30 minutes Time Trial 8215 metres 1:49.5 pace Delighted to have improved my British Record in the 60-69 Lightweight Category by a ''massive'' 9 metres! Even happier that it's an ''all time'' PB, much better than when I was younger and a Hwt (I'm now 62 and been lwt for 6 years having started when 4...

Re: Where's Henry (hjs) ???

And like mentioned above, not doing it yourself and reading about others is not nice. I do train some, skierg and fitness a bit. But low key and no...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

Recovery mode picking up a little - not sure if it can be called "training." This week on consecutive days: 3K @2:07.3, 3K @2:06.3, & 6K @2:08.3. One year ago: 6K 21:58.9 @1:49.8. probably won't see that again. 35 min on recumbent each day and a few light weights. Jim, Good to see you back at it. H...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

Online 30:00 RowPro session today. Goal was to reach UT2 within 10:00, then moderate pace to my HR cap. I absolutely loathe positive splits but am trying to do better with UT2 by HR this season rather than by pace. Maybe it will pay off. 30:00. 7729m 1:56.4 r23 avgHR 140 5:00 splits: 1:53.2 1:52.4 1...

Busy with 1K training, but decided to go for a 1min sprint yesterday and it ended in a new WR
Congratulations, Marius!

Can you describe some of your athletic background, what sports did you excel at prior to row and ski ergs?

Thanks.

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

Finally felt up to a moderate effort today, i.e., generally negative pace (sat on <1:52 for three splits) with sufficient ambition to reach AT near the end. Felt great to knock out an 8k 30, been a few months. 30:00 1:51.7 8054m 3:00 splits 1:55.3 1:53.7 1:52.7 1:51.8 1:51.6 1:51.9 1:51.3 1:50.7 1:5...

I assume with those times you haven't been off the erg for too long, just not posting? As Glenn and Lindsay have already said, good to have you back
Thanks, Stu.
Yes, plenty of r20, re-building meters this season.

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

30:00 7775m 1:55.8
Got into the low 140s HR, which is where I like to be as a wu.

CTC - 2818 10:08.2. 1:47.9
704m 1:50.6
1408m 1:49.5
2112m 1:48.8
2816m 1:42.6
02m 1:40.0
Plan was negative splits of 1’ with 1:47.5 on the last but felt well so gave it a little throttle.
