New 2km pb by some 3 seconds - two of those 4by 1km intervals with 5 min rest have helped. Overall v happy and this sneaks me into the 81st percentile for 50-59s. 7:21.3 2,000m 1:50.3 261 1197 26 0:55.3 250m 1:50.6 259 1190 27 0:55.7 500m 1:51.4 253 1171 26 0:55.0 750m 1:50.0 263 1205 26 0:54.7 1,00...

Thanks - do you think ultimately that I should move the df up to around 130 , or should I just keep it around 120 and train to that mark?
Cheers

Well after last weeks abort - and some words on encouragement on here - I can report that i managed to complete a 4 x1km 5:00r bearing in mind my all time pb for 2km is 1.51 - i suppose i was aiming for 1.52 as suggested - I am looking to get to 1.50 in the short term. 14:55.5 4,000m 1:51.9 250 1158...

Yes - thank you I think I may ain for 3 at say 1.53, then an improve for number 4, then a repeat at a later date until I become more comfortable.
Thanks

Ok thanks for that Lindsay.

I may try to do 4 at 1.53 sometime next week.

Cheers.

Ok so I was going to try and do 4 x 1km 5minr, bearing in mind my 2km pb is 1.51 rate.

Just completed my first ever HM, had never rowed mor than 60 mins, was happy enough with 1:26:52.4, legs were sore and it's hard to sit down for that long - 'twas a continuous row.

That was after taking 4.3 secs of my 2km pb yesterday. Down to 7.25.7.

Onwards and more rowing ( rest day tomorrow)

cheers,

Ive just followed it up with a 26sec improve in my 10km time.

massive new 5km for me following the 5km mud challenge.17seconds off my old mark.., very pleased with that - 2min intervals with 1min rest has helped me push through the pain barrier.
