really happy for you Keith, well done.

SS yesterday and Saturday was 1K prep. This time I did some 1' on/1' off intervals at sub 1:30 pace. I plan on no weights this week and just some shorter rows with some bursts today and tomorrow. Then prob some easier rows Thurs. and Friday and then test Sat. Feeling pretty good and confident in th...

The other benchmark we had was a 2x20' erg, all out, open rate, with 20 minutes active recovery on a spin bike in between. Our whole varsity eight my senior year (and me, toiling away in the JV...) averaged sub-1:40 pace for both 20' pieces. Don't think I'll be giving either of those workouts a try...

Perhaps not the textbook start to a taper week, but I wanted to stretch the legs at least once this week before resting up for Saturday's 100k. So decided to attack the Power Hour PB. New PB by 223 meters. Hopefully the confidence boost from hitting this will offset any physical issues from pushing...

Also, Id like to ask if when you do longer rows, do you do rest periods in between or just row right through the session. Because any long rows I've done since being on here I've done straight through, unless it was an interval row! What is the standard protocol for all this? I very often row in he...

4x1k/7:00r yesterday. This has become a bit of a nemesis workout for me and of all the workouts in rotation is the one I find mentally toughest. I've yet to crack it.

Wk 1 Session 1 of Back to Basics for me. I'm going to do a 3 week Pete's Plan cycle timed around splits a little slower than what I think my 2k and 5k times would be right now. I basically want to build my morale as well as my physical and mental fitness with some completed sequences and see what ha...

sub 7 are way more awesome than team oarsome!

10k in 39:43.2 today. Not a distance I do very often at all but I managed to beat my 5 year pb of 39:48.1. At 47 I feel like more PBs going to be hard to come by so happy with that! well done Andy and keep rowing. I'm sure you have more in you the long distance stuff particularly (which I'm also no...

I only mean this constructively but you really should go and see a physio/movement specialist rather than take advice off the internet. At this stage the physio might only be able to help you with stretching and strapping but i think an appointment would still be worth it. But any pov that I or anyo...

Probably this last 1,5k were the hardest meter ever on the rower since start 😅 I can definitely echo these thoughts! Enjoyed this month's, I'd go again later in the year. despite my issues with it, I love the CTCs like this where there's some strategy too. Next month is a plain old 2k which (in my ...

I think my mental fitness is worse than my rowing fitness right now and I'm not sure what to do about it. What's in my mind right now is to go right back to the beginning of 2021 when i did both Pete's Plan intervals and one long slow row a week and just do a 3 week cycle with guide times that are ...
