<br /><br />When I say 'recovered' I don't mean - 'hmm, did I exercise today?' <br /><br />Just that I'm not exhaused/shattered any more and after a couple of mins I can happily exercise again, albeit at a slower more relaxed pace - not another 10K though!<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />Rob

Thanks agin for the advice LJ and I will take it easy. I'll stick with what I'm doing now, but not push too hard.<br /><br />I certainly feel much better afterwards than I used to when I started, my recovery from the 10k is pretty good now I think. It's just doing it that's tough! Also, when I say '...

Well I'm very (very) new to all this, only 3 weeks in <br /><br />I do 10K a day, 6 days a week @ around 41- 43 mins and then 30 mins on the elliptical. This is damn tiring for me!<br /><br />I don't use an HRM and have never done in the past, but the ellitpical trainer has monitoring hand holds. I ...

Thanks LJ,<br /><br />I tried the slow method on Fri, but am not really up to it yet + as you say I’m not 100% convinced that it’s the best way for me to train. If I do more reps I can hold my form and ensure that each rep is fluid and the same pace through out. With the super slow I begin to lose i...

Thanks Kevin and Yoda. I will try the superslow method this evening...<br /><br />..and take a look at that other thread you mentioned.<br /><br />Cheers again,<br /><br />Rob

Thanks for all the info guys, especially the detailed workout RowtheRockies <br /><br />I think that some of these exercises might be a bit much for me at the moment though as:<br /><br />1. I'm not that fit yet.<br /><br />2. It's been a long time (7 years) since I did weights and I’m concerned tha...

I've been rowing for only a few weeks so far, but am fairly pleased with my results (losing some weight, muscles firming up - just feeling a lot better in general). My aims are to lose weight and get fit/in shape (as mentioned in my previous post) here: <br /><br /><a href='http://concept2.ipbhost.c...

I dont think that the eliptical will hit any muscles that the erg doesnt, because the erg doesnt miss much. Even your face gets a workout from grimacing with pain from time to time <br /><br />I know what you're saying there Ray!<br /><br />Cheers and thanks for the advice,<br /><br />Rob<br />

Thanks for all the help.<br /><br />I think I'll continue with my workout as is for the time being (another month maybe) and then look at possibly splitting some of the 10K rows into sessions of 2 hard 2ks and then a moderate 6k. I used to do 2Ks last year, but haven't since starting on the 10s.<br ...

Hi Guys,<br /><br />I have just started to get back into shape again after 7 years or so of very little sport. I used to row a bit a school and used the erg at the gym at Uni for about a year. I find it a very satisfying machine to use.<br /><br />I am 28, roughly 13.5 stone (haven't weighed for a c...
