If you ask me (which you have) I would say for you to do the 1st 500m at 1:39 pace. As I seem to remember you seem to have problems (mentally) at around 600m in the last few events. If you can get past 600m feeling not to bad, I think you will have it made. You are more than capable of rowing 500m/600m at 1:39 pace and then rowing the next 900m/1000m at 1:37 (as you just did it last night). The last bit 500m/600m you will just have to bring it home as fast as you can. This should get very close or just under 6:30.0 Just treat it as a 500m warm-up at 1:39 then a flying mile (-109m), your mile pace is sub 6:30 if I remember. Sir Pirate

Cheers for your thoughts sailoe boy ! Yes my mile pace is 1:37.4avg and both of those were done with energy to spare, for some reason the extra 391m messes me up big time .

I hope Andy did not take my comment as if the 1K he did was a warm-up, it was not meant that way. I meant that if he had done a longer warm-up he would of no doubt gone a bit quicker, so considering the lack of warm up his 1K was very good. Sir Pirate

Today going to attempt a 10k but going to do it at about 2.30 pace had a bad night last night with leg aching don't know whether it was the training yesterday or the fact it was the first day I didn't take any pain killers at all . Sorry to bore you all ...... but am fed up already ... lol ....

Carole - Keep your chin up girl, were all thinking of you ! Sir P - I understood you mate but I think Graham didnt which makes a change as its normally me that gets things all confused .

My vote for the next challenge is 10x1500, really don't fancy a 10k just yet so will vote for the lesser of the two evils - maybe, maybe not!! Did a 30 mins yesterday = 8417 @ 22spm, will log this until I do an unrestricted one next week. When does this particular challenge finish?

[old] Sir Pirate · Post by **[old] Sir Pirate** » January 6th, 2005, 7:02 am

Hi Julian, don't put off the 10K I have been waiting for you to attack that distance. I think you could be in for some points on the improvement league with that one. How is the training going? Sir Pirate

[old] David Speed · Post by **[old] David Speed** » January 6th, 2005, 7:02 am

Julian, You've got till next Friday (the 14th) at this challenge.

Nice 30mins there esepcially at only 22spm.

[old] David Speed · Post by **[old] David Speed** » January 6th, 2005, 7:08 am

Andy, Nice initial 1k there. Going to do your traditional 1500m trial as well? From what I saw at Southampton, I'd say self belief is what you need to work on. We all know you're good for sub 6:30 at a comp, you just need to as well .

[old] JulianT · Post by **[old] JulianT** » January 6th, 2005, 7:15 am

Thanks guys, target then is Friday next week I will do an unrestricted 30 mins then. Phil - Starting afresh, did nothing 'til tuesday after my 1k (before Xmas) so now starting an 11 month programme for BIRC and EIRC!! When I have done this before I have managed to knock quite a few secs off my 2k time, hoping for the same this time around. As only starting back into training don't fancy a 10k yet, I know I will do one and I will PB but I want to get into shape where I can beat Dan Staithe's time!! Hope fully it won't be voted as a challenge for a month or two and then it may be on, we shall see. What's this 120k+ metres? One week?

I have given up (for now) on the 5K pb, so am going to the other end of the scale. Going to have a crack at my HM pb instead. Sir Pirate
