Wearing special performance gear really helps on the erg, doesn't it? Hope it was a "coolmax" nightie. Tendon is a bit better, I'm still being careful. Got a season's best by 18 seconds the other day on a 5K but was a little sorry the next day (not a PB, just the best in this so far pitiful season!) Carla

I hit a new record for my HR today. I was over 190 bpm for the last 250m of a 6K. I finished at 192 bpm. Not bad for a guy 48 years old? This record isn't all that good though, since my time for the 6K was some 50 seconds off my PB. (I died halfway through.) I think that I was a bit dehydrated from working out in the yard and that caused my HR to be higher than normal. Cheers, Paul Flack

HM 1:28:22,6 ( 2:05,7 / 500 ) , was 1:30:03,0 ( 2:08,1 / 500 ) ( aug 11 ) A few more days and the first 6 months after 25 years or so as a couch potato are over. Maybe two more tries, maybe none, we'll see.

Most of my workouts are still at the UT1 level (140 - 148 bpm) right now. I Will be getting into some higher intensity stuff over the next three weeks though. Kind of looking forward to it to see how my body responds - I too have been rowing semi-regularly for about six months but haven't done anything higher than UT1 for a couple of months or so.

6k 23:11,2 ( 1:55.9 / 500 ) , was 23:30,1 ( 1:57.5 / 500 ) ( aug 25 ). Just like the HM of aug 27 I tried a constant pace ( now 1:56.0 , then 2:06.0 ) and go a little faster or slower when I strayed from the wanted pace. I lost .2 from3k to 4k, but gained .3 with a sprint in the last k ( same gain in the last part of the HM ). Mark; 500m intervals for the 6k: heart rate: 148 155 158 158 164 165 166 167 170 171 174 175 average: 1:55.6 1:56.5 1:56.2 1:56.0 1:55.1 1:56,5 1:56.9 1:56.6 1:56.4 1:56.5 1:54.9 1:54.1 Mark, how did you determine your UT1 level (140 - 148 bpm)? Next to do: some easy work; it looks like I'm trying to overdo it.

The test maxed me out at 184 bpm, which interestingly enough is exactly the same as the 220 minus your age rough approximation. I believe the C2 training guide here <a href='http://www.concept2.co.uk/guide/guide.php' target='_blank'>http://www.concept2.co.uk/guide/guide.php</a> provides the details on the MHR test. I haven't done one for a while, but I think I will wait until I complete the program that I am on right now before I do it again. <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td class='genmed'>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td class='quote'>Next to do: some easy work; it looks like I'm trying to overdo it. </td></tr></table> That might be a good idea, I know I would have burnt out quite a while ago at your pace.

New 30 minute PB- 7907 m (from 7840). I had 8000 in my sights but caught my tshirt behind the seat (dammit!!!!) and lost a little time untangling myself. Tucked in, from now on. Andrew

[old] Carl Henrik · Post by **[old] Carl Henrik** » September 1st, 2004, 8:25 am

New 2k PB of 6:39.5. I Beat my old one from two months back with 8 seconds. Splits: 1:39.5 1:40.5 1:39.9 1:39.6 I might have been able to go a little faster in the end, I didn't make any attempt on a finishing sprint...except for one pull that was weaker than average so I decided not to try to alter the rythm I was in. I was quite content with the result to be and quite tired at the end as well! 6:40 was my goal for the end of the summer. I put it up after having been sick in january/february with a very slow recovery (overtraining?). In the beginning of July I barely beat my PB from december (6:47.8), and now 2 months later I have reached my goal. That is great. 6:30 after off water season (april/may) is my next goal.... Going back to some long distance training now...then maybe some strength and more long distance...some races with preparations this winter. I hope to win the unofficial swedish lwt 500m championships in february as well. It's a small sport here so if I can pull 1:23 I will have a good chance.

Excellent work Carl , you should be pleased with that row. Keep working hard and I am sure you will reach your new targt of sub 6:30 ahead of schedule too. Sir Pirate
