Hahaha. It's incomprehensible doing that pace for a FMJerekKruger wrote:Yeah that's basically my 5k PB pace and I felt awful at the end of that. That's hugely impressive.
Small heavyweight, certainly no tree of a man.Gammmmo wrote:Yeah I suppose it's quite good...but then he is presumably a HWT.![]()
(it's very impressive)
He is no rower, but much more a superb aerobicly fit cross country skier. He needs that high to get more stroketime.hobbit wrote:Interesting that he goes at high resistance and 30spm, not what this forum teaches the young 'uns to do. I thought that this combination was a sin only committed by bodybuilders... Never mind for a marathon. Maybe I should give it a try?
Also I noticed that his hands follow a kind of W curve, with a dip in front of and behind his knees. Wouldn't that be regarded as poor form by some experts?

Not one erging record is tested. And its not a challenge bullshit, its a year round open time trial.Mat wrote:Any serious drug/doping tests at this challenge?
No? Then this WR is worth NOTHING.
Yes? Brilliant performance!

I'm inclined to agree and as an aside it's also why I think the C2 PM code number system is brilliant. I'm in favour of lots of testing. Trouble is it's expensive. They do it in the UK Cycling Time Trial scene to a small degree, and amateurs have been caught. And in the cycling/Concept2 world remember Dan Staite? He set some astonishing times on the erg and IIRC only got caught by British Cycling in 2010. He may well've been quite talented but the problem with PEDs is you've no idea what performances they've done are valid and which are tainted. IMO absolutely pointless...what a massive waste of time. Turns out the performances were probably a little too astonishing. Indeed some gains from PEDs will stay with the user even if they stop because it will have allowed them to train to a higher level - and certain adaptions tend to stick around.Mat wrote:Dream on.hjs wrote:On the other hand there is peoples word
