Did my first Full Marathon today, was aiming for under the 3 hour mark so paced for that. Resting heart rate was a bit higher than normal due to remnants of a cold so tried to keep HR in check. The most difficult bit was eating & drinking without losing to much time :) Got a time of 2:59:32 so pret...

Another 45 minutes today, these are feeling easier and easier, and even though the HR started to go up for the last couple it's because I was watching a movie and a lot of the action was paying off towards the end and I got too involved in that.

Base building continues, today's session was easily the most in control that I've felt and the HR actually lined up with the RPE for the first time.

Attempted to the CTC today, clearly not quite ready for some longer interval stuff as I went too hard. Wanted to do 5km + 10 watts which is around 273ish, 2nd interval started and just had no drive or anything in the legs after 90 seconds. Quit the session with my tail inbetween my legs, then did an...

Day 4 of 45 minutes. Felt good today, once again had to work on slowing down as a few times I was watching the show I had on, then looked up and the speed was up at 165-170 watts. Just want to go nice and easy at the start. However it’s a good problem to have, and hopefully promising. Time Meters Pa...

Day 3 of just getting something done. Felt really good and in control again which is nice. Some cardiac drift towards the end but nothing too major. Another 2-3 weeks and I reckon that HR will be back to around 140-150 again which is my sweet spot of base work. Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 45:0...

Just getting back into the swing of things, 45 minutes at 155-160ish depending where I fall. Rowing fitness is lacking at the moment, plus a change in some medication means an elevated HR. 26/08 - HR high, RPE a bit more than I wanted it to be for the session I had planned. Did it at about 2pm and I...

Thanks Stu, hopefully I can have a decent "off season" depending on how many international trips I get over the next few months. Rowing is the alternative to be honest, the rowing is to stay fit for that. It's easy that I enjoy it and can zone out whilst doing it, just need to work on some rowing f...

Hey all, long time no post. Lot's been happening around the traps for me with work, family, and rugby (5 weeks away in the last 8) which has meant training is almost non-existant. Going to start again today with some base work as I think I've got a long period of time at home over at least the next...

Long time no post, been around but new job is taking up a lot of my time as well as rugby being there as well. Haven't started the season off as consistently as I would like but getting in the metres when I have the time to, just need to make it a priority again. Easy 5km today followed by the CTC, ...

Oh bad :roll: Hope, you all get well back to normal soon. Cheers, the wife and I are through the worst of it. It's hit the littlest kid hard, his whole face is swollen as he just wears any cold/flu thing in his sinus. It's a doozy this year, I've had it a few times before and had one blocked nostri...

First session in 2 weeks due to travelling for work, then covid, then more travel then the rest of the family having covid. Fun times... HR was up, RPE was down. Felt 4-5/10 overall but cardiac drift was up. Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 55:00.0 12,946m 2:07.4 169 881 18 158 5:00.0 1,167m 2:08.5...

70 minutes UT2 today. Felt good, if a little sweaty.

First proper session of the season, I am thinking about restarting the C2 interactive plan for 2km so just went with the first session of it, but I think I would rather go for a 10km and HM PR, especially with the "Rowlymics" challenge coming up in July/August as I think if I can really get my fitne...
