Strong effort, Alex. So hard to feel like you got these workouts just right on the first try -- still ~2 days left for a re-row!

There was, but not this week, will have to go harder next week (should get two efforts in) to make some places back!

Terrific second attempt btw.

New 6K PB today by 6 secs. Had really good focus today and wasn't going to let a PB evade me. Hopefully have a couple more PBs before the end of the season.

Might be 'bout time to hit that marathon, Alex. It's "only" a few thousand extra meters!

Ha, I couldn't help but notice the May Concept challenge is a marathon...

Very strong benchmark set for the Erg series this week, fully expecting you to be at the top end again.

That's a whopper. Love that last 4k.

Thanks Stu, got to take these days when they present themselves.

Haha :lol: If I wouldn't have switched the ergenduranceseries with the TOC on Tuesday, my result probably would look a bit different, but not a whole lot. Anyway, I'll take the TOC win instead B) :D (unless you go again...) Not sure what the likelihood of that is, fast running out of days this mont...

Well done, 3 of 4 scores better than mine B) I hope I can plan better next weeks workout to give you a better competition :lol: I wasn't best pleased with the first scored interval, so I'll let you have that one :lol: Today felt easy - totally relaxed, not a single twinge in the nerves in my calf, ...

Coincidentally, I too did the same session as Sascha, a little bit of online competition to mix things up about. The time of third, sixth and ninth interval is scored, in addition to overall distance. I put a relatively hard effort in on Wednesday, tried to improve today and was more 'tactical' with...

Pleased to hear it Mike. I think advice in general is on the cautious side with these things and I agree with Sascha, a fitter body does tend to lend itself to a speedy(er) recovery!

Strong intervals! Forgot to ask in the group: didn't you realize the rate of the first interval? You could have stopped and started again 🤔 I could, but I really didn't want to Erg to begin with (I rarely do evening sessions) so if I stopped to restart, I doubt I'd have got going again :lol: though...

Any and all advice gratefully received. I've been struggling with it on and off since early December. I wasn't Erg'ing much then and put it down to pushing the strength work too quick too soon. As mentioned above, muscles adapt quickly relative to tendons... It was getting quite bad mid January to ...
