Hi Everyone Graham has been doing some SNEAKY rowing while I'v been away with working, however I will not let him lead for much longer Remember Pain is Temporary Pride is Forever Mike Gutted about not able to be with you for the homicide, hope your guys got some overtime out of it!! It' a tactic I have giving away all my chocolate samples away, so you all have to row harder to burn the calories away! Watch this space Graham - Lots of Meters coming my way...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like Daren's chances of breaking 7 at BIRC - looks as good a bet as Phar Lap in his heyday - bookies refusing to take bets Why don't we do a marathon on the appointed Taff Million weekend ? Good incentive to get it done for Nonathlon/personal achievement etc ! Martin

Hats off to Ray who's clearly been spending every spare moment on the erg. I'm sure it was only a few days ago I saw his total metres on 2000 and I've just had a look now and it's jumped to 5,500! Great effort and focus Ray, way to go and keep it up mate, every metre counts! Martin, I'm really not sure about the marathon piece. Personally I'd rather do two or maybe even three pieces in a day that amount to the marathon distance but I know my body or the time commitment (in one stretch) wouldn't be able to do the marathon. Sorry to put a downer on it as I'm normally Mr Positive but my own personal circumstances and ability would prefer an overall distance target (30-40K) which I could do in multiple sessions if necessary. Graham, How did the squash go??

Hi I did my routine, setting a new 1k pb on the last repeat and 500 metre best. The 1k - 3'31 and the 500 m was 1'34.4. So that's another 11.5k - what with the warm-up, cool down and interval paddles. My nose is now streaming with cold and my head hurts. The hot flushes have started and so I'm going to just sit here at work and drink my lemsip and feel sorry for myself. I may even do some work. No erging for the next couple of days, so go on, Niall, take advantage of a sick man. Martin, I have to side with Niall and say that I couldn't row a marathon in one sitting. A half-marathon, yes, maybe followed by one the following day, but I really couldn't eat a whole one.

Hey, congratulations on the 1k and 500m PBs, especially a) at the end of a session and with a head full of cold. Great stuff. =)

I'm going to use this opportunity to finally get round to some 2K training during my afternoon rowing sessions. I'm looking forward to resuming the battle with you once you've shrugged off your man-flu. Great job on the PBs too Bernard, especially in your current condition. Who knows how much of an improvement you could get once you're fighting fit!

Hey Dwayne I won't train like that again while I'm ill, I feel really bad. Hopefully, I'll be rid of those horrible little germs after a good night's sleep, so I can resume preparation for BIRC and resume my titanic struggle with Niall. I wonder if we can pass a million before the end of the year? Did you get the email I sent you about your training programme? I sent it a couple of days ago. Bernard

Bore Da!, I see you lurking. Did you get my email last night? I sent it via the forum.

30 minutes this morning. 7738m, avg pace 1:56.3, 28-33 SPM, 6.6-8.6 SPI, 130-176 BPM 5k this evening, 18:42.2, avg pace 1:52.2, 28-33 SPM, 7.2-9.3 SPM, 150-187 BPM. The 5k actually shaved 2.6 seconds off my previous PB of 18:44.8, so I'm quite pleased with that coming on the top of the 30 minutes earlier. Got me 2 more nonathlon points, too. =) Oddly, although my heart rate was into the 180+ range for quite some time, I didn't feel this was as taxing as the 2K, so maybe I do feel the muscular fatique more than I realise (I've always put it down to breathing and CV fatigue more before).

I wasn't going for a particular time as I had no idea what I'd be able to do as all my training was done on a cross trainer. Went ok, although my legs only stoped aching enough to do some rowing today! I did 1:41.50 in the end. My Will have to try rowing one next. Eek! I'd be up for trying for 1,000,000 in a weekend or something. How much would we each have to row?

Over a weekend we might be able to get closer. For example, I could do at least 30km each on two days, making 60km for the weekend. Depends how many take part and how fit we all are. =) Well done on the half marathon. I still can't run at all. Makes me knackered after about 2 minutes. =)
