Hope you don't mind, but I just have to have a brag. 58 y.o. FM. Did Masters games today so results should go to Concept World Rankings. Did a PB of 1.48.3 for the 500m, which puts me first in the World Rankings for the 55-60 age group (though unfortunately they rank 50-59 all together, so it drops ...

Foot number position and performance, and creatine as a supplement? I sometimes wonder why men would want to row a mixed boat with women when they are just so much stronger, but I guess it's for the fun and something different, and I'm hoping to row my first mixed on the water at this year's Masters...

Well I for one would love to know how the race went Terry. The times you posted in your first post were awesome imho. I sometimes wonder why men would want to row a mixed boat with women when they are just so much stronger, but I guess it's for the fun and something different, and I'm hoping to row ...

Hey guys, thanks to your input, and my own version of Pete-ette's Plan (girls plan!), I'm down to 1.55 for the 500m, and still going. Yaay.. Really would like to get to 1.48 by end of the season, but in around 2 weeks, this year's rankings are on. Doing my best here. Will try the 2,000 again today, ...

Yikesl Did the 6km hard (too hard? My shoulders really feel it! After an hour on the water in an 8 (first time in a year). 28 minutes, but am still feeling it! Feels great to be training though. Erg time trial for seat race in an 8 on Wednesday morning, so won't take it too hard today or tomoz. Can'...

Thanks for that. You are right 3/4 kms is not much at all. I'm starting pp tomoz morning. Really look forward to the results! I'll keep you posted. I really want to do under 8 for the 2 but not sure if i can. We shall see ..... They are long rests in the pp plan. Will be interesting to see how it is...

A reply already?! Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. I really appreciate your advice and will get straight on to it. (PS Your times are awesome!) No wonder most men would rather have a mixed race with only one or two women in an 8 if they can, rather than half and half!!

OK, so I can do x7 run, row, run etc up to 7, at around 2 m/500m, training really hard (interval at intensity I believe this is called) for 7 sessions with only 30 seconds or 1 minute FULL intensity. At around 50 years old not toooo bad for a woman. How do I increase this and try for under 8.20m in ...
