Concept2 Forum

Hi Bob I’m the same with mountain biking which is my other sport. I try and get out for a ride every week. The rowing has been very complementary in terms of general fitness for riding. Also rowing is so much more convenient as I have a C2 in the garage. I’d never get out on the bike 5 days a week....

Hi all, Hey, it turns out that riding dirt bikes is more fun than rowing :-) Anyway, PP Cycle 5 Week 3. Didn't set a target just rowed --------------2018-06-28-----2018-07-20----2018-08-15----2018-09-07----2018-11-10----- 3000-----------01:58.2--------01:57.7--------01:55.0--------01:52.2--------01:...

Hi All, its been ahwile. I haven't been putting in the work and I have no excuses PP cycle 5, week 3 Target was 1:43. Started off pretty good. I got a late start with rep 3 and I blew my wad trying to catch up. --------------2018-06-24-----2018-07-15----2018-08-13----2018-09-05----2018-10-17----- 10...

Forgot to mention, I am now down to 92kg according to the gym scales. That is roughly a 12kg drop since I started in July (26lbs across the pond); I'm more motivated by increasing fitness and lowering times but that shows that I've been working hard at least.

Congrats on the weight loss!

Pretty easy 10K at 2:15 tonight.

BPP 11.1: 10,000m - @2:08.5. Felt good, mostly around 21spm, pushed the pace slightly at the end to dip under 43 minutes. Feels good to have done my first ever 10k! BPP11.2: 8x500m, 2min rest - overall pace 1:50.9. Splits: 1:51.9 1:51.8 1:51.7 1:51.6 1:51.4 1:51.3 1:51.2 1:46.8 I realised a few day...

Last week, bled into this week :-) Cycle 5, Week 2 of PP Target was 1:53 I dislike this workout the most and I need to change my attitude about it --------------2018-06-19-----2018-07-12----2018-08-08----2018-08-31----2018-10-08----- 2000-----------01:57.9--------01:56.5--------01:55.0--------01:52....

Do any of you guys do extra sessions on top of the PP? or do you think it weakens the interval days if you do? If you do, what do you do? Just more SS very low intensity?? I used to do just the Speed and Endurance intervals. Lately, I've added two 10Ks at a lower intensity (see prior post) So I'm o...

10K at 2:05.6 for me today

Horrific is a perfectly executed Pyramid! Awesome work and huge improvements. Thanks, Mike. I appreciate the comments and feedback. It was a scrap for sure. The Pyramid is pure evil when you find the right pace. The first half guy writes checks that you're hoping the second half guy can cash

PP, Cycle 5, Week 2 The Pyramid. Target was 1:41. Yikes. Started off too slow on the first 250. That one is hard to dial in sometimes tho The 1K, 750, 500 stretch was horrific. ---------------2018-06-17----2018-07-09----2018-08-06----2018-08-26----2018-09-30----- 250------------01:45.0--------01:45....

Good work, everyone! I had a lot of travel this week so not much to report.

Today I did a 10K at 2:25. I'll resume the PP tomorrow or Monday with the Pyramid

Back on the Pete Plan...session 1.1 yesterday... 8 x 500m / 3min30 rest 1:58.5 was my average from many weeks ago and it felt OK so I must have been doing something right since I dropped off the PP... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/922/V0S7mU.jpg Very well done. You definitely have m...

@ Bob - solid times, especially for an endurance interval. Your aerobic is coming along nicely. Thanks, Mike! Question is, do you guys find this a REALLY hard session? or perhaps because I didn't have a rest day yesterday it was tougher than I expected. I've been trying to make every interval on PP...

When doing longer, less intense sessions I like to throw on the wireless headphones and watch the tv
