Well done Robert,
Post in the PBs thread too. We all love to see a PB. 8s is a big improvement in the 5k.
Well done Robert,
I agree with Max about posting in the PB thread, and well done that's a big improvement
Your previous athletic experience puts you in very good stead - lots of upsideGreenStratMan wrote: ↑October 28th, 2020, 4:00 amWill start the Pete beginner plan when my pm5 arrives. My current pm2 works but the buttons are dodgy, so just row is ok.
I was wondering about a heart rate belt, maybe the Garmin hrm dual. I see the Pete plan doesn’t mention heart rate. Shall I just leave the the heart rate side of things for now and just get the 24 weeks done? Or is the hrm a worthy investment? Thanks Kevin
As Lindsay mentions can be a useful bit of data, but it should be treated as only a piece of data, rather than slavishly sticking to it. I use a CooSpo, which is cheap but works very well as you can use the Polar Beat app to track it, but the only thing I'd say is necessary is a chest strap, rather than it being on a wrist.GreenStratMan wrote: ↑October 28th, 2020, 4:00 amI was wondering about a heart rate belt, maybe the Garmin hrm dual.

It’s been...a while!
Going to start The Pete Plan tomorrow.
The PP was the first plan I followed back in the day and I was actually coached by Professor Pete long before he became a coach. Good times.
I always said I would come back to the erg when my body was shot from other sports.
Tomorrow is the day.
Nice, you’ve already got a superb base to work from, I look forward to seeing your progress!btlifter wrote: ↑November 19th, 2020, 7:29 pmHello all,
I have been lurking on these boards for a while and have learned an enormous amount (on my good days I even try to adhere to the things I learned!).I had been following my own training plan for a while, but the more I read about Pete's Plan the more I realized that it is similar (but much more thoughtful and structured) to what I had already been doing. So, I took the leap this week and began Pete's Plan! I'm looking forward to engaging in this thread!

Some great PBs Cam, but I'd say that your 5k and HM are low hanging fruit compared to your 2k, 60 mins and FM PBs.btlifter wrote: ↑November 19th, 2020, 7:29 pmHello all,

How good is 2:51, Henry? Is it "you need to get a rowing coach and start taking this very seriously" good?
