Where did January go! Since holiday challenge failed miserably to make a plan... still been getting onto the erg 4 times a week sometimes 5, so just over 140k for the month. Struggling with the longer distances... an hour used to a bread and butter workout a couple of years ago, cant remember last t...

3 days off so back to it otherwise I could feel it heading towards maybe I'll start Monday, . might as well make it the 1st... and so on!

5k @ 2.05
2k sneaked under 8 mins for first time in I don't remember + 1k CD
Bit of spin bike and light dumbell to finish

it's done, first holiday challenge for a few years. Set myself target of rowing every day of the challenge (and not just 500m to tick a box :D ). Went over 200k couple of days ago, and ended up just short of 218k. Almost binned it a couple of times, but dragged myself to the garage even if it was 10...

Holiday Challenge.. still plugging away, 29k to go to 200k haven't missed a day, although late nights are a recurring theme, it's 1105pm sat on the erg watching end of Rogue One after 30mins + 1k cd

Holiday Challenge day 12 yesterday, still plugging away. Haven't missed a day yet although it's been very close some evenings as invariably it's 930pm when finally get into the garage and it was freezing yesterday (started off with a woolly hat on :shock: ) boiler broke at the weekend which isn't he...

It has been a while, probably 2 or 3 years since posting and being anything resembling fit. Nevertheless, each month I have studiously done the CTC for the FFs and between 10 and 50k erg work or OTW in small boats. Not much to write about. Last month was different, for some reason I got stuck into ...

Holiday Challenge
Day 3 : 3 x 10mins (paying for Day 2!)
Day 4 : 30 mins + 1k CD (scraped my way to 7k)
Day 5 (today) : 30 mins 7122m (didn't start until 9.30pm and did not want to go to the garage!... stuck Senna on Netflix and it ticked along better than I expected )

Challenge Total: 40,829m

Holiday challenge day 2... ...thought I would wind back the clock and try a 1k pyramid, i.e. 100, 200,300.... 1000, and back down on 1r. What's the phrase - something about writing cheques your body can't cash.. I had burnt all my matches after doing the 1000 and binned coming back down again :lol: ...

I have PM5 firmware 37 hardware version 340
Ergdata 2.3.1(301) on Android.

No Ergdata though, latest update crashes it as soon as it connects to PM5.

Snap - not just me then

Holiday Challenge Day 1 - 5000m before breakfast :) Going to make a determined effort this year and roll the clock back by doing the Holiday Challenge and rowing every day until Christmas Eve. Seriously need to get back some fitness - had yet another layoff... this time got bitten on the elbow by a ...

Cheers for sharing Paul - the pictures are fab - looks like a great place to row.
"...despite the difficulty we all had at the second mark. I’ll do it again, although I distinctly remember thinking at the time I would never do this again..."

Interesting thread! When I first got my own erg and started putting in the km's started I did get a sore behind. I bought the C2 pad but never really got on with it and relegated it to the bottom of a drawer and never used anything since. My son however dug out the pad and uses it every time on the ...

Nothing much this week - one session in the garage on the erg where I changed plan about 3x, then boat club gym session last night. The infamous snakes and ladders session... a giant sized board.. teams of 2... 10 different exercises numbered 0-9. What ever number you end up on after moving your gia...

First session back in the boat club gym last night... now too dark for Thursday evenings on the water until spring :( so Thursday nights will be gym nights. The coach wrote up a nice 'loosener' on the board... Mobility stretching 5 min warm up row Squat & press 12x3 Incline press-up 12x3 Reverse lun...
