Concept2 Forum

Welcome to the most competitive group on the planet.

Here we will share our scores and advice and turn those Concept IIs into the tame mules they sound like.

Indestructible means of self-improvement and/or self-torture.

Good progress murphypepper.

Those are especially good sprint times compared to your 2km.

My season bests so far are:

500m 1:36.6
1000m 3:25.2
2000m 7:03.9

Good stuff from both of you. My numbers

500 1:36.6
1k 3:23.6
2k 6:46.8

All done at altitude. Either here at my house 7680ft. or at the gym by the rowing club 5216ft. Bakes, undre 7:00. Even pacing. Got it? Good luck at BIRC!!!! dennis

Update:

500-1:28.0
1000-3:12.6

Thanks. I seem to have trouble with anything over about 5 minutes, but most of my training is geared toward 2000M, so hopefully this will change. Hitting a plateau right now--not making much improvement anywhere. What does "Bakes, undre 7:00. Even pacing" mean?

--Murph.

Murphy, with a build like that you're probably going to rip the fan cage apart very soon.

Bakes is my nickname for Rick Bayko. He has been staying under 7:00 minutes for the 2k since I met him. For me, 7:00 minutes is a very reasonable/respectable goal for any 50 something male lightweight. dennis
