Tired of people asking me why I’m slow on certain durations. I just started rowing. My HM is based on 1 mild effort. Don’t ask until 6/2021 After that laugh at me.

1:43, 1:46, 1:44, 1:44 with a mild sprint at 1:40ish with 30s to go. Never felt good, before, during or after. I’ll go sub 6:50 when I wake up feeling good.

Thanks all. And I thank all of you for motivation. I’m at the age that the rocking chair calls as much as the rower.

Fwiw I’m chasing Stu/Tony/etc hero power.

It he likes it...he’ll be solid.
Did a 1:04 kilo 1-2 years ago on almost no cycling training. Brutal, crazy speed his whole life.

My little brother started rowing with me last month and still uninitiated pulled 7:00, so big brother had to hit sub 7 first.

Pulled 6:57 today. Naively I still think i can go sub 6:50 in 9 days. 6:57 wasn’t full gas.

Like others said lifting strength will come back ridiculously quickly. I just started deadlifting again and after 2 sessions am up close to 100lbs gain. Bench is up 30lbs this year. Both are far off PBs but getting back to decent quickly. I, too, haven’t figured out my optimal strategy as I end up g...

Nice. Hopefully I’ll join you at 8000+. Doing mine like yours as 30R20 After a lift last night and probably still recovering a bit from Tuesday 2k I was happy with tonight’s 30R20. Hurt a lot more compared to last week 30R20. 3 week progress has been 1:58.2 to 1:53.8 to 1:53.2 now. 7947m. Getting cl...

Thanks Guys. Have felt exhausted all week but took yesterday off and just wanted to do a UT2 10k, but after 10min I wasn’t into it, so I thought I could replace duration with intensity and since I’m not feeling great if I miss 7 I won’t be that upset. Decided to try to keep the suggested 28-30 rate,...

6:57 2k. Rate 28.

Nothing special, but added 500m to my 60min best. 14830m. Ave HR 131. Was tired though. Yesterday pulled almost a PB for 5k at 18:31 stroke rate <20 (2nd 2500 in 9:01). Going to try for a sub-18 5k soon and finally(!) a sub 7 2k. My last 2k split yesterday was 7:12 (PB is 7:11). Sooner or later I’ll...

AM: 30min Row
PM: Deadlifted, 2nd time today. Need to make sure I don’t injure myself. Both times went heavier than I should have.

Thanks Freddie.
