Not bad at all! Trialling for OUWBC?<br /><br />Xav<br />(trialling for OULRC, Univ)

But what you don't seem to realise is that I don't mind beating the system. <br /><br />Xav

6:50_wannabe,<br /><br />Running can help, but sometimes going for very long distance isn't too great for rowers who are tipping the scales due to height, musculature, etc. Maybe try some sprint training on the track (200s, 400s, 600s, 800s - if you have the opportunity) instead.<br /><br />Pretty m...

I try to keep my mind occupied by working out my average pace based on metres completed, doing splits in my head, and other general mind-numbing activities. Normally it's not that bad, but yesterday's hour was soooooo boring it was unbelievable.<br /><br />There's music in the background, but it's s...

For a training week of 10-14 sessions, normally all but two or three of them will be easy sessions (for me, avHR between 144-155). One of these is an erg interval session, and the other two are normally a 3.8mile run and a sprint session on the track.<br /><br />Xav

That doesn't really add anything to the discussion, John.<br /><br />Well, I suppose neither does this. How ironic. <br /><br />Xav

Between 129 and 131.<br /><br />So probably 130. <br /><br />Xav

2k PB (at 79kg though)<br /><br />6:27.2 / 1:36.8 / 30spm<br /><br />1:36.2 / 31spm<br />1:37.3 / 30spm<br />1:37.7 / 30spm<br />1:36.1 / 34spm<br /><br />Could have done this at 75kg, but had no access to scales for about 10 days previous. Next step <17:00 5k.<br /><br />Xav

Cheers Phil.<br /><br />I'll probably do a 4x750m, 4min rest interval session at some point in the next few weeks, and will be looking for 1:35-1:36 average. <br /><br />Fingers cross I should be able to get 6:28ish. Would be very happy with 6:27.<br /><br />Xav

4x2k, 4min rest, 26-28spm <br /> <br />1:43.7 / 27spm / 6:54.7 <br />1:43.5 / 27spm / 6:53.8 <br />1:43.5 / 27spm / 6:54.0 <br />1:42.1 / 28spm / 6:48.3 <br /> <br />Happy with this. One of the best sessions I've done in a long while. 2k test in 2 weeks time for uni.<br /> <br />Xav<br />

I'd suggest keeping up the 20spm work. I can consistently beat all the other chaps at college (as in the collegiate system at big universities in the UK, rather than the entire uni) on the long spm capped stuff, even though I'm usually giving away a couple of inches in height, and as much as 10kg in...

Fair enough. How about 6:15ish then? <br /><br />Xav
