Re: Help me break 6:45 within half a year.

Yeah it does, it's not the best gym but it does have a squatting cage, leg press machine, and leg extension machine, as well as plenty of dumbbells and squatting bags. Putting on weight is not a problem for me as I can still put on a good 8-9Kg's and still be lightweight, just so long as the weight...

Re: Help me break 6:45 within half a year.

I went from 7:00 r34 in march 2011 to 6:45 r32 in october 2011, does your boarding school have a gym? I went to the gym 3 times a week and then did squats only, followed by a 5-10K row at around 2:03-2:09, always at rate 20, however, when I did the 2x45min ergs my max was 155 and average was 2:14.1 ...

Re: 6K erg strategy

A popular one that I have heard is negative splitting each 1.5 or 2k by 1 second/500, alternatively you could neg.split by 0.5 per 1K, as the idea of holding target pace for 6K IMO is too tough.

Re: How much UT2 to actually get a benefit?

Im looking at 2-3 UT2's and one 30r20 a week. It's all I can fit in as I have 2 strength sessions and 3 rugby sessions. My UT2's are anywhere from 60-90mins in length, obviously starting out shorter and slowly reaching 90min. I'm doing them at 5:15am before school. BTW as a current indicator of fit...

1500m/2K 1x race plan (copied from uk thread)

How would you plan it? At the moment I am going hard and high for 5, lengthen for 5, push for ten, then stepping down to a race rate/cruising rhythm, and upping the rate slightly at the 500, 750, 1000, 1250 - sprint for home. putting in 20 stroke pushes (dependant on placing), but probably 5 strokes...
