It sounds pretty challenging. I think I would have to start in Group 1 and I'm not sure if I could finish that! <br /><br />DB<br /><br />

<table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE(Niall @ Mar 26 2005, 03:10 AM)</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'>For a while now, I've been wanting to add some variety to my training so last Thursday I decided to go for a run. I figured that with my fitness I would be able to do 4 miles. I didn't look to do any specific time but wanted to concentrate on completing the distance in a nice steady pace. The good news was that the run itself went really well; pace was steady and I had enough energy to put in a sprint finish. That's where th epositives stopped!<br /><br />The following day, my thigh and calf muscles were aching really badly. Walking down stairs was a real effort and I walked like a cripple! Today (Saturday), the legs are better but probably only 40% effective. So no rowing today and I suspect I'll need tomorrow aswell to recover.<br /><br />Not a happy bunny!! <br /> </td></tr></table><br />Sorry to hear about the legs Niall. <br />I have the same problem. Before erging so much, if I went for a run after not running for a while I would be sore, but not terrible. Once I started erging much more, and then did an outdoor run, I wouldn't be able to hardly walk down the steps for a couple of days. (If I ran on the treadmill this didn't happen.)<br />Just points to the need to do more cross training, and not just concentrate on one specific set of muscles, unless one is really a world-class rower and so maybe would just want to concentrate.<br /><br />David<br />

Tough going on the sore legs, Niall! I'm sure if I tried to run right now I'd be crippled for 3 weeks.<br /><br /><span style='color:red'><span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>New 500m pb,</span></span> stationary erg, 1:48.5, moved up 5 spots in the C2 rankings and up a few on Nonathlon as well.<br /><br />Martin, looks like we are back to our neck and neck meter competition again! <br /><br />I'm struggling to find time to row and learn all my music since now I'm working 25+ hours a week and still doing everything I was doing before.... <br /><br />

Well done to Chippy and Chris for a storming performance in the 1000m team event (no bleeps involved!). Great to see Taff Attack getting in the medals!<br /><br />Well done too to Carla on the other side of the pond pulling in a great 500m PB. Was it the training on the slides that helped you?<br /><br />Great stuff guys!!

Great racing on the weekend Chris and Chippy, you did us Taffs proud. Any details ? How did the other Taffs go ?<br /><br />Top 500 Carla, putting you firmly in the Nonathlon Top 20. Elbow problem has curtailed my progress on marathon attempt and PB'ing so looks like I will have to wait til next season to see if I can join you up there. Hows that 1K PB looking ?<br /><br />Go Debra - 2 million is now a distinct possibility if you can remain healthy and injury free.<br /><br />When's the next run Niall ? Achilles pulled up OK I gather ?<br /><br />Welcome back Godfried - fully recovered yet ?<br /><br />Cheers all<br /><br />Martin

A challenge to myself really. BUT THEN...Today I was in the back garden playing with my 2 year old and fell on some ice. When it happened I was more embarassed than anything and didn't feel like I hurt myself. As the day and night progressed, my arm, shoulder and back are very sore. I don't suspect it's too bad - nothing broken - but enough that I didn't row today! Yikes! I guess this will give Niall and Chris a chance to get caught up!<br /><br />Hey Carla, did you try a 500 on the slides? Did you notice that your rates are quite a bit faster? How does it compare to static rowing for you?<br /><br />Niall, I hope your legs are feeling better soon. What about just doing some walking or really light rowing to ease out the soreness? Have you taken ibruprofen? It works wonders!<br /><br />Happy rowing all!<br />DB<br />
