The data fetishist in me needed to check these damper settings at 50, 60, 70, 90 and 100 rpm as well and I think I ‘discovered’ ...

Thx for the replies. I tested my 200 meter, best effort so far was 18 seconds with 9.5 for the first 100 and 8.5 for the final 100, so the effect has limited impact..

When doing sprints on the rower, it only takes me a few strokes to get the watts up to the point where avg watts catch up with current watts. On the bike it takes me ‘ages’ - the watts during the first seconds are so low that the average is way lower than current watts for quit some time (all relati...

I guess that your 8x500 R3 at 1:41 (=1K pace ) did not come easy?

I have started a blog on the UK forum to keep track of progress and keep a record of my ups and downs. You are welcome to have a look and comment.

Friday 25-7 Weekly HM. Steady but hard 2:08.5 pace until 17K, trying to hold on and maybe get under 90 minutes for the first time.
