The flu hit me so i had to jump off, i really have to stop walking home from the gym with wet hair. Anyways i felt better yesterday and took a crack at a 5k, saw some things in a YT video i wanted to try out and i went for a 5000m with 20spm, ended up with a 1:51 average split and i really feel it i...

2K PB was taken @ 105 DF, checked it today.

I've come around to thinking that the combo of speed shock and intervals of increasing distance up the front side of the pyramid make it difficult to hold pace. Probably obvious and felt by all? I believe 3k+ warmup at UT2 paces interspersed with short power on bursts of 30 to 45" is helping me avo...

Previous PB: 14,751m
Today's Row 14,976m

I should be excited at the new PB but am totally bummed at just not having the steam to finally break that 15k barrier....

Still a solid length! You'll get it next time around!

Did a steady 8k today @ 2:07 with 22spm, focused on posture of my back and tried not to arch as i know i'm doing that too much,

Combined it with some situps w/med ball, roman chairs and leg curls.

Pumped the erg up to 10 today for a damper setting of 100, feels different on the body afterwards. W2D1 The Ladder, 1:39.1 / 31 spm 250 / 1:38.8 500 / 1:38.7 750 / 1:38.7 1000 / 1:39.9 750 / 1:38.7 500 / 1:39.9 250 / 1:38.2 Aimed for 1:39 and missed it by a hair. Dropped the ball on the 1000m starti...

I have no clue what DF i took my PB at, I will investigate next time I am near that machine. But my first 2k (7:02) was at DF 80

W1D6 AM: 40 minutes swimming PM: 10' experimenting with low drag to get a good curve then 20' @ 2.05 I just found out that the rower i use for most of my training are broken(?) with 100 Drag Factor @ setting 10 and 60 Drag Factor @ setting 1 Which in turn means that i have used a Drag Factor of 80 f...

Yeah the wolverine one, given that i row my steady sessions at 25 spm. I am curr...

Congrats on a good 5k G-Dub!

According to the link i should keep my Steady State rows @ 1:46/500m.... :o :o :o :o OT: I lost W1D5 due to an accident at work, have a swollen ancle and will try the Steady tomorrow, is it ok if i switch a Steady session for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiQ0Mqlk_Lo it seemed interesting.

10k steady 2:06/500 25spm

Tyche - That would explain why you were light-headed. I lost 60 lbs four years ago and have kept it off. I'm a newbie at rowing but have become a pro at weight loss. I ate 1800 to 2000 a day when I lost my weight and you're taller than me. I'd load an app like Loseit or similar and see what the cal...

W1D3 5x1500 1:49.9 /500m on all from 29-27 spm Went down from last time, though i do think i need to adjust my diet, just as D1 i kept feeling very lightheaded after a couple of intervals. I've decided to try and loose about 20 Lb and are eating less than usual, maybe too little. Currently i am esti...
