<br />How did you figure out your target heart rate?<br />XENO<br /><br />Thanks for the reply, sounds like I am consistent with your intent. Something I have been curious about for a while - good to know.<br /><br /><br />I used your formula - I am 38 yr old 6' 1", 185lbs, Max HR is about 185-190.....

Xeno,<br /><br />Question for you - when doing the steady-state pieces how quickly should you be getting to your goal HR? I tend to just go out at a good steady pace and ease to my goal HR after about 5k or so then just watch the HR and tend to have to back off for the remainder of the session (to a...

I just signed up - not sure I am clear as to the rules, but anything to get me back into the thick of things is a good thing!<br /><br />-Dyson

I seem to remember the same thing happened last year on Jan 1st.... C2 got it fixed in a couple of days last time.

YKIHBAGWW<br /><br />You think of reasons to quite 5 times during the workout but stick with it giving it your all until the end of the piece.

I am just getting back into the erg swing after a fun summer... I am not clear on your post is this race designed for regulars? - I do not want to hold someone's slot - let me know if I am crashing the party!

Good old fashion running shoes work fine as well...

MM,<br /><br />THANKS!!<br /><br />Dyson

In the old format (last week) the forum allowed you to view all new posts since last visit, then when you opened a topic up (with new posts) it would let you jump directly to the new posts that you have not read... I can not seem to do this now. I can view the topics with new posts but can not jump ...

Well folks - let me start off by saying thank you to everyone for your replies! As always the particiaption and enthusiam of the C2 community is really impressive.<br><br>I see merit in all the recommendations here... hard to argue with the experience and results of the folks giving it. I am in no w...

Gee thanks Mark - THAT was fun!<br><br>Just to add insult to injury my wife walked in during the middle and asked how come we were all "so slow".... <br><br>I posted on another topic on the board to see what others experience for this interval work-out - I am not sure why we struggle so much with it...

Ok my frustration is increasing and I am curious about other people's experience. My current best 2k pace is about 1:44.8 (just under a 7min 2k). I was under the impression that in theory I should be able to do a 4X1k at or below my 2k pace - but of all the workouts I have done (intervals and steady...

I am no expert but here is my take:<br><br>I agree with Mark's suggestion on eating - I usually make sure to stop eating 2 hours before trying for a personal best time on a 2k, and make sure I have been awake for at least that long as well. <br><br>However I like to do a little longer warm-up. I gen...

Well I made it - 2k @ 6:59.2.... I was still ticked about fading so much during our piece on Monday, I decided to bag my regular workout and give it another shot. I put in a tape of the '04 Olympic doubles semi-finals with Aquil Abdullah - he ends up coming from last to tie for 3rd... and used that ...
