On cycle 3 of Pete Plan: 4 x 1,500m: 1:55.1 @ 23 spm 1:55:9 @ 23 spm 1:55:4 @ 23 spm 1:54:8 @ 23 spm 1:54:2 @ 25 spm wish I had that much low down power .. I went for 4x1k on thursday .. still felt beat up by the 8x500m on tuesday so my average was better than last time by 0.1s over the entire 4k 1...

very happy with my results today .. taking It might be better to try to make them more different. So if you had 6 min recovery, you might be able to work harder in your intervals, and so train different aspects of your physiology. Caviston again: "My advice in a nutshell is: get adequate recovery, a...

What rest did you have on the 4 x 2k? I roughly think a hard 4 x 2k pace would be 2k + 6/7 with 4 or 5 mins rest, and a hard 6k would be 2k + 8/9 I had a 5 minite active break between the 2ks .. my pb for 2k is 7:31.0 with a 1:52.75/500m so on the 2k+6~7 I'm off by almost 2 seconds in places .. the...

a couple of steady state sessions .. a hunt for a gym with an indoor rower before work and an interval session .. then a hard 6k. rowed strapless for the first time .. only due to no strap for one foot so said to myself why bother with the other one .. it helped my technique a lot I feel in the sens...

4x1000m results 20 min warmup with short sprints at rate 36 1:52.2 @35 160HR 1:52.1 @35 167HR 1:52.0 @36 169HR 1:52.2 @36 171HR was hoping to go a little quicker but my splits are better on the whole than my 8x500m last week by 0.4 ~ 0.5s 1:45.0 only a hop skip jump leap bus tour continent away so I...

I bought a polar h10 heart rate monitor to help out on the steady state .. its great I can hook it up too my phone and have it show me my heart rate in real time.. while the versa fitbit was giving wildly differing rates from 98 to 180 for the same level of perceived exertion .. the polar was showin...

It's very hard to be patient as I was really enjoying the intensity of the Murray workouts and my fitness was improving.

I think his workouts are rocket science .. probably why he is the champion he is ..

hate to be late to the party but is anyone else training the pete plan at the moment? would love to know others experiences of using it and how it worked out for them .. Im into my third week looking at 4x1000m tomorrow .. love to hear how things are going or have gone for others using pete plan and...

did 8x500m yesterday felt fine did an hour steady state today and feels like I had some smash a sledgehammer into my legs .. see what happens .. May come up to watch... will probaby go to the comp next year and the wanganui masters 2021. Provided i dont injure myself again be good if someone can thr...

Where are you Al... im in wellington and just restarted back on the erg tonight after injury. Im in the same age bracket. One step further down the food chain .. lol .. currently in auckland but thats changing soon .. started erging to get faster only recently was doing hiit before that and had to ...

I will assume you are looking a the NZ indoor rowing champs. https://www.indoorrowing.co.nz/page/racing-rules/ yeah the nz champs .. under no illusion of winning but definitely like to post a respectable time .. I will be in the 50 - 59 age bracket and Ideally I would go as close to 7 minites as po...

I rowed a 7:31.0 for the 2k today .. 1:53.1@31 1:53.2@33 1:52.1@34 and 1:52.7@36 splits so thats a pb by 0.6 seconds on 6 weeks ago .. thats with my attempt at steady state during the week and shorter rows on the weekend .. will have a look at the pete plan and shorter faster intervals .. I have to ...

found out recently that there is an indoor rowing championship going on in cambridge november 23rd .. would love to have a go at racing so would like to put my best foot forward .. not sure what class I would row under .. I have been training 2x9k @2:18.5 3 minite break for the last couple of weeks ...

the idea was to do the milage then build my way into it .. Don't be under the impression from others that a 7500m in 30 minutes is "Easy", lets be honest here that is basically impossible for more than half of the 50 year olds in the general population. People on this Forum are generally NOT in that...
