Thanks Nick That’s where I eat confused,ut1 and ut2. Peter Attia and many of his cohorts are classing Zone2 as everything up to the production of 2mm of lactic acid. It’s confusing,that difference between ut1 and ut2. Thanks BTLifter That’s great feedback as my initial targets will not be longer tha...

Hi Dangerscouse Thanks for your input,really appreciated. I can do intervals on the ergo of up to around 12 mins ,and then have to have a few minutes rest to shake of the numbness,then I can do another rep. Any reps less than 12 mins I can do as fast as my capacity will allow me(not good at the mome...

Thanks Mike
I will only be aiming at the sprint distances I.e 1k and below.
Could not face the pain and anguish of a 2k race

Thanks for reading, Having read and listened to information regarding the importance and effectiveness of Zone2 training I.e Peter Attia, 80% zone 2. My question is; Would you achieve the sales outcome if the training was cycle based and not ergo based? Anyone have any insight? Reason for question i...

Thanks Nick
Hope you are well
See you are into the longer stuff now.
I am the opposite
500 m is the long distance!

Hi Happened to look at the world records section on the C2 website to find that the age category is now every 5 years. Last time I looked it was every 10 years or am I losing the plot? When did it change? Have to say I have not had any interest for a couple of years as I thought I was nearly 7 years...

Hi Jon
Really sorry but I cannot find the link.
Haven’t been doing much as waiting for a new hit.
FitnessMatters have good programs on ERG DATA
Hope this helps

Thanks HJS,Jamesg,Ombrax, Really appreciate your feedback and advice, it is really appreciated. Couple of replies; HR max based on the most I have seen on a max test so believe its within a few beats of correct. I had the feeling that the 1 min interval was to short to get to the HR range. Will look...

Hi and thanks for reading, Just back onto the ergo after a very pleasant time of not being on it :D Searched for a "get back into it training "programme. Found Indoor Sports Services. Worked out target pace for each zone based on very poor 2 k time. Worked out HR zones based on 48 rest and 161 max. ...

From my own personal experience, rowing a 6.20 2k is much harder than playing international rugby. 1st 10 secs is ok, the last 10 secs is ok, its the 6 min in the middle that is incomparable. Never would you be on your limit for a full 6 mins in a rugby game. There are many opportunities to drop the...

Gareth Archer did BIRC 2009
Won men’s open 5.51 and beat the GB squad
Great achievement,great engine

Lol, FWIW Steve I was lying in bed last night mulling over what I'd said and realised you will probably get a really fast 2k time :D Glad to see I was right :lol: I find the erg power profile a good tool to check how training is going and to estimate a 2k time for me but I'd guess I'm a more 'balan...

Morning Richard Hope your well and thanks for input. Totally understand your ‘no wasted meters’ comment and agree. My challenge is that I often question ‘am I putting enough effort into the session’. I have a number of bad habits when training I.e; 2k reps - strong first 500m then drop back to easi...

Hi Henry, Thanks for reply. Arriving at a 2k pace; When I was building up to my sprint attempts last year(27th July 2019) I did a 2 k TT at 1.47 rate 28.This was at the start of a 4 month training block. Nov 2019 2 TT blew up -500 1.41,1000k 1.48.5 blew just after 1k !! 9th Nov 2019 1k TT 1.34.2. H...
