I give up, Rich shows absolutely no desire to be honest in anything, confronting him with his dishonesty makes no difference to him at all. Fred is retired.

12K OTErg just before dawn. Nope, ..<stuff about when you posted this morning>... I started posting _after_ I rowed. My first post was 5:37 a.m., Door County time. It is now 8:30 a.m. here. ranger I call your bluff, I believe you are not being truthful about your daily volume. Since you'll refuse t...

12K OTErg just before dawn. Nope, probably not even 10k. here's your posting times this morning. You had a 40min gap between posts. Figure a couple minute to compose the post at 5:19 plus a couple minutes to walk from erg to PC, means you probably erged for not a lot over 30 minutes. 5:19 am 4:39 a...

Rich will never answer that question when phrased in that manner

Did X back in Y, much better than that now.
Not interested in a 18 min 5k, his goal is Z
Racing your training is ruinous

but never a straight answer

The next demonstration will be a FM @ 1:48 (or faster). But since you can't do 5000m @ 1:48 then how will you get to 42,195m at a pace you can't sustain? Look, if you want to stump rich, you need to phrase your statements differently. Never say "you can't do 5000m @ 1:48", because in his mind, a 20...

4 x 1K, 1:38 @ 31 spm predicts a 6:32 2K. 20 x 1K, 1:38 @ 31 spm predicts a 6:16 2K. ranger Not true, you are getting confused again with trying to extrapolate non-continuous rowing. 4 x 1K, in 3:16 (1:38 avg) predicts a 6:32 2K. 20 x 1K, 3:16 (1:38 avg) predicts a 6:16 2K. "4x1k where I saw 1:38 e...

Indeed you should start giving these a go.<snip> Sure. 4:00 rest would be fine. ranger You should be ok with the rest periods rich, it's the 3:16 1k's (1:38 avg pace) in between them that you'll find impossible Kind of like "it isnt the fall that hurts, it's that sudden deceleration at the end that...

Zatopek 1Ks, 1:38 @ 31 spm (12 SPI) should now be possible. 20 x 1K (paddle a 1K in between). well, 20x1k at 3:50 (1:55 average pace) paddle 1k in between might be possible for you. I doubt you could do more then two or three 3:16 1k's (average pace of 1:38). but, since your post doesnt talk about ...

So now, if I prepare for it, I can row a FM @ 1:48. that's fine, because it clearly shows your acknowledgment that you can not currently (present tense) do it, you are saying that you will be able to do it at some point in the future. "This is fine. Sure, I can carry both suitcases, although I neve...

can a. Used to indicate physical or mental ability. ... c. Used to indicate possession of a specified capability or skill.<stuff on why you think it is a lock again, deliberate misuse, you cropped that portion of the definition that clarified the tense (current or future). Similar to the way you cr...

it's pretty clear you are deliberately misusing words to create the false impression that you have an ability that in fact you do not possess Not at all. <bunch more stuff about why you consider your future 2:32:0 FM (average pace 1:48) a lock> reference my other post :D Regardless of how much a lo...

So you are saying that you "can" do a 2:32:0 FM (average pace 1:48), but you can't do it right now . You are deliberately misusing the word "can", you should be using "could", as in "I think I should be able to". My talk in this way is entirely legitimate if you know endurance sports (and rowing in...
