Actually wanted to skip the gym today after yesterday's hard work. When I woke up, I didn't feel very recovered :? Went to work, got back, ate some good food and had a lay down on the sofa for an hour. After I got up, I felt much better and went to the gym to have a "lighter" training session. Somet...

Marathon PB by accident. Ha! Some accident. Huge jump in pace for the second half - shows sub 2:45 well within reach. Great stuff Sascha. Thx Mike B) It was not planned, but something klicked and I was in the game :lol: Actually I wanted to do this 'easy' on ~2:02 all the way... Next time fully rec...

Marathon PB by accident. It all started with "do it for the pin". I opted for the average pace of my FM I did nearly 2 years ago, so went with 2:02.x. Halfway done I thought I could ramp up the pace, as I did in the first one as well and see how that goes. No intentions for a massive PB, as strength...

Physically felt good, settled in ah...

Opted for the CTC today. As the 6k is a rankable distance I thought I could try a PB. Last one being from last summer where I was in my very best shape since I started rowing. Felt mentally and physically tired. But heart rate told my I could go for it. I beat my time by 4 second. So I think I’m fi...

Love the attitude!

There was no question!

My decision for today's workout shows my competitive thinking :lol: I ranked 1st in my category of Rowbin Hood, but Luke from The Delivery Room catched me in two scores of the current workout - fastest and slowest interval by 2m and 1m! This was not acceptable for me, so I decided to go again with a...

I'm currently battling again my ulcerative colitis. I'm not physically restricted, but my digestion and what follows it are relatively far from healthy. Nevertheless, and because I'm probably a bit crazy, I tried the 2000m today on a whim. Without a plan and without an idea: 6:59,3 I think I can do...

Well I did my one annual HM today for the Sub7 ITC and the C2 Challenge and the Nonathlon (85:44.5 FWIW) and I have to say I just don't know how you guys manage to knock them out once or twice a week with amazing scores. Its tooooo far! My body is not set up for an hour and a half on the erg. Its n...

Had some days off from work and did some fun things (fish, golf) but squeezed in some training. Nothing too exciting but had one day I felt terrible on the ERG and another where I felt great - the body is just weird. Also, been dealing with yet another medical thing - hoping it's nothing but seeing...

Needed some movement, but legs were tired from squats in the gym, which I did yesterday with tired legs from Rowbin Hood session week two the day before :lol: Rowed the session blind again. During split 6 I needed to readjust the volume of my phone, lost ca. 10s or something. So pace was probably so...

I managed to knock a couple of big strength goals off last weekend for my 40th as well as a couple of other strength / fitness goals and challenges I had set as well.

Congratulations for getting your goals in and belated happy birthday
Curious about your upcoming erg training and results!

After a decent warmup of 3k I decided to go for a first sighter of week 2. The Widow's Sons - ROWBIN HOOD. 5x4min with decreasing rests and 4 scores: 1.overall 2.fastest 3.slowest 4.4th interval My strategy was to go for fastest in the 1st, when fresh. Back off to assumed average for 2nd/3rd, go har...

I've only ever done one FM which didn't go to plan, so can't offer any advice. Will be watching out for your result though with interest. Out if interest: what went wrong? Is the given PB in your signature the result of that FM? Yes that's the one in my signature. I decided to have a go at the FM o...
