Concept2 Forum

After a month of UT2 training I managed to knock 18.5s off my 2k time. For my age its a pitiful 7.54.7 but something to aim for going forward. Not going to try again for a couple of months cos it bloody hurt

I’m still focusing on UT2 high volume low intensity training. Most of my sessions are 4 x 2500m, 90s rest intervals. Been doing five per week so hopefully I’ll see an improvement on my 2k time next week.

It's great that some of the old faces are back (Chris & Andrew), it coincides nicely with me trying to get back into rowing. Changed the batteries in my heart rate sensor so managed to track my 4 x 2500m, 90s rest = 18 spm @ 126 bpm. Completed 100km in the last month so happy with the volume.

It does say re-listed due to time waster......

Trying to build a base at the moment so did a 4 x 2500m, 90s rest. Working on keeping a low stroke rate and maintaining a heart rate of 125bpm. Unfortunately, the battery went flat on my chest sensor so had to guess most of it. Still kept at 19 spm so was happy with that.

Sorry guys, I can’t find any reference to the 6k challenge. Can you please put me out of my misery and tell me where i can find details. Thanks

What is this 6km challenge you guys mentioned?

Done a couple of weeks of steady plods to get back into it so today did a 2k just so I’ve got something to aim at and build my pace around. Only a slow 8.13.1 for me but it’s a start.

Graycyn,

Please don’t beat yourself up over the CTC. We are not an elitist team and the challenge is only meant as a bit of motivation. The important goal was losing 4 lbs so well done for that. Do what you can and if the body allows push a little further.

Just a steady 30 mins for me today. Trying to get a few metres under my belt before I attempt any intervals. Now I’ve turned 50 resetting all my PBs has helped for motivation.

After having virtually the entire season off due to injury I’m attempting to get back into erging. Still got my achilles and arm injury but rowing doesn’t seem to aggravate them at the moment. Planning on being more active on the forum and on the rower.

Stay safe everyone

Had a go at the CTC tonight and managed 11.54.7

Nothing special but something to aim for later in the month

His, do you think you will hit a sub 10 min ctc this month?
