I've just put in a score for the 30min spring challange. Had a plan and executed it perfectly. Idea was to hit <1:50 for the first 5 minutes. Then stick around the 1:52.5 mark for the main 20 minutes and then see what I had left for the last 5 minutes. Turned out I had a little bit to much left in ...

There it is...30 minutes.. did what I set out to do, yet am left a bit disappointed with myself. [edit:not true, target should have been a 1:55 avg, not the 1:56 I used] At 10 minutes in I was sure I would not last long past the 20m mark, 20 minutes in I was surprised that the splitting ache in my ...

Nice work Graham :D Had a 30R20 UT1 piece down for today so put in an early one, pretty happy with the 7410m / 2.01.4 result whilst staying under the HR cap - have definitely made some good progress on the lower rate stuff in the last few weeks, looking forward to seeing what effect that has when I ...

Andrew, yes, currently 6lbs off, so will take it down gradually. Lets go as LWTS to Cardiff in Nov?? NOt sure about the CTC as I dont think I have ever done it, I have a different login for doing the ski erg, , but yes ask Dougie Sounds like a good plan Chris, 2lb of scraping in to lwt this morning...

I am thinking about posting a 500m time this week for the spring challange but must say I am not looking forward to it :-( Did one last week for the FMMC and was nauseous for at least a full hour afterwards..... Anybody have any tips? I don't think that there are any magic tips to take away the pai...

Hi Chris, nice work on the early 500m. I did pretty much the same yesterday aft as well, did mine after a 30R20 session and so weird to try and get the pace down and the stroke rate up - think I still only managed an S/R of 32 over the 500m! lol As you said, totally different beast! Pretty sure I sa...

Good job on the 40+ PB Dave, looks like on the right day you can take a big chunk off that one as well

Will have a go at a 500m piece in the next couple of days, long long time since I did one of those! lol

Hi all and welcome to all the new team members :D Haven't been on here for ages and just catching up on the posts. I did a 6K today for the team although only really doing UT1 and UT2 work at the moment so not very quick as staying under the HR cap (23:57.4). Will probably start some interval work n...

Belated Happy Birthday Chris, hope you had a good one. Actually hoping to join you in lwt status at some point this year although still about half a stone to go - be good to meet up at an event sometime, had thought about the South West one at Bideford in March but too soon for me! lol

First and probably my last go at the CTC and pretty awful it was too! lol Been doing lots of fairly steadyish 5K's and 30's for the last few months so had no idea on any pacing and decided to go for 1.45 pace for some reason :roll: Managed to cling on to the pace in the 1K with a 1.44.9 but couldn't...

Hi all to Flyers old and new. Been a while since I've posted... in fact don't think I have since the UK forum was shut down! :lol: Just been reading the last few pages and really sorry to hear of your injuries Henry, I know you'd always had to be careful with your back but sorry it's gotten to the p...
