Thoughts to while away 60 min row
Thoughts to while away 60 min row
Apart from other stuff I did a 60 min VERY easy row today (just flushing blood around and building up some miles).
To make the time seem easier, I decided to mentally split the row into 12 segments of 5 minutes, where each segment represented a month of the year. During that segment I thought about what I had done in that month - although April I started laughing thinking about a weekend that didn't go well. Then, once I was past September I started thinking about what I planned for the other months left in the year.
Anyhow, just thought I'd share that and if there were any other ways you pass away the time on a long erg, would be great to know (I have a short attention span obviously).

Re: Thoughts to while away 60 min row
When doing longer, less intense sessions I like to throw on the wireless headphones and watch the tv
I'm a little old, kinda heavy and somewhat tall... 2 outta 3 ain't bad
Re: Thoughts to while away 60 min row
Yep definitely got to get some wireless headphones - listening to a fan whirl around for an hour can send you mental after a while.bob.haffner wrote: ↑September 24th, 2018, 5:11 pmWhen doing longer, less intense sessions I like to throw on the wireless headphones and watch the tv
Re: Thoughts to while away 60 min row
I used to listen to loud R&R on headphones, which pushed me a little harder when a good song came on. But I got a subscription to Audible and have been listening to nonfiction audiobooks. Nothing too conceptual because it's harder to process when pushing myself, but been enjoying mainly history. Right now listening to "Grant" by Ron Chernow, the guy who wrote "Hamilton."

Netflix. (or Amazon, or any other streaming service)
Currently wrapping up season 2 of Ozark. Gotta figure out what I'm going to watch next. I'm thinking I might sneak in a movie (Hold the Dark) prior to starting the next series. Can't decide which series to go with: The Innocents vs Jack Ryan (Amazon).

Re: Thoughts to while away 60 min row
Not sure I can concentrate on a film or TV series when I'm rowing. I might try it though.. Action with an easy story line is probably the way to go..

I'm not sure what to advise as it's never an issue for me. I just zone out, put music on and think about all sorts of stuff.

Re: Thoughts to while away 60 min row
I totally agree. One update to the PM5 would be a larger color display that supports these streaming services. Also, as mentioned above headphones are the key to being able to listen at a reasonable volume level._PBH_ wrote: ↑October 3rd, 2018, 2:49 pmbob.haffner wrote: ↑September 24th, 2018, 5:11 pmWhen doing longer, less intense sessions I like to throw on the wireless headphones and watch the tv

Re: Thoughts to while away 60 min row
Ha ha.. To be honest the question "Why am I doing this" definitely occurs to me at some point or other.
I don't mind the 60' sessions too much, in fact I find it easier to sit on an erg for 60' than it would be to sit still in a library or something.
I'm def going to try watching a TV series though - got to be better than mental maths with the PM display, trying to predict and influence how many meters I go thorugh individual time markers at....

Re: Thoughts to while away 60 min row
Colour display supporting streaming services is a genius idea!!!
I would buy one of those for sure - I love that idea!!!

Re: Thoughts to while away 60 min row
It won't happen, the direction Concept2 are taking is towards you running all the PM5 stuff on your mobile phone. The PM5 does enough for the casual rower who jumps on the machine and needs to know when they've done their five minutes or 100calories row. For the sophisticated user your mobile phone does the heavy lifting based on the BTLE data from the PM5. I know ergdata isn't perfect, but that's where C2 should be focussing their development spending.
