Kixram, I used to aimlessly plod about on the erg at local gym. Massively over weight etc. Started to enjoy the buzz after a while bought my own erg. Started on PP followed plan fairly strictly and got 6:19.2 for 2k this was after doing PP for a few rounds. Stick with it I went from 26+ stones now h...

Hi Henry, Keith et el,
I’ve not posted here for 5 years as I’ve been too busy going up and down on erg.

5k today 20:42.6 22r 114 df

Am 2 months post hip operation( BHR) so just getting new hip used to motion.

Great to see everyone doing so well

@ Keith and Lyndsay, cheers.. I'm going to try again tomorrow df150 like the one before.Also my rate was too high at 48spm in the beginning and with too much drag i couldn't keep the splits.

Great work! Is r22 your typical race rating for a 10k?

@ Tim, my usual is around 28spm. Well the last one was.

@ Keith,Winnie?,Lance, Henry, Anth and Stu Cheers.

Today was a HM Ut2 Ave/ 1:58.5 Time: 1:23:23.6 Df 133 Spm25-22. Hr 143.

Today i did 10k R22 target pace of 1:47.0 acheived.

@ Anth, Stu cheers.
@ Martin, i didn't mention you with regards to keith as your a lot younger 16yrs.. Different age bracket in World rankings..Still look forward to meeting your challenges though.

That's way better than my PB - crazy. The low rating (for you) I can deal with as that is about where I am for a 10K test. How spent are you after a session like this compared to a 10K test? @ Keith, i'm pretty exhausted, but not quite like a 10k test.The r22 work is extremely demanding especially ...

Nice Andrew, much more in control.

Thank's Henry, felt better and took 0.9 sec off previous time..Thank's again for the tip.

Think you need a bit more drag Andrew and lower rating. First 300m 42 orso. Drag 150. @ Henry, Df150 it is then, it'll be your fault if i beat Keiths time :D @ Martin, yep i'll reduce my spm too. I'm looking forward to the next one i do. Would give a reason to work harder :wink: You need some reser...
