Mostly I do 1 hour and 10 K. pieces, but when I feel up to it I row HM and M. (good for the Row Pros total K.!!).<br /><br />When I finished a M. it feels good! But a M. is still a challenge <br /><br />Hennie<br />

I think his PB has come down about 8 or 9 minutes over the last few months.<br /><br />I also notched a new marathon PB yesterday - 2:57:50.7, down from 3:03:43.3. I rowed the last 1/4 a couple of seconds/500m faster than the rest of the piece, so I could probably do a little better overall with even pacing. I wanted it to be over as soon as possible once I hit the 3/4 point! New PBs at the 3 longest events in the last week or two, time to see if I can lower my scores on the middle distance pieces now.<br /><br />My favorite part of the marathon is stopping at the end <br /><br />Bill<br /><br />

I've been doing more longer rows, usually an hour a day during the week and longer on the weekends plus some cross training. I've been trying to build up base and endurance. <br /><br />I've also been doing a ton of strapless rowing. In fact, I seem to only row with straps when I race. This has improved my technique and forced me to use my legs more. <br /><br />I've also been doing some longish intervals. Well I don't know if intervals the correct term. I would increase my pace to around 1:50-1:48 and keep my SPM around 23-25. I do this for between 3 & 5 minutes depending on my fatigue level. While this was sub maximal, it was just faster than what I figured I could do for the whole hour. This way I was getting used to that kind of pace and lower stroke rate. Note - this was all strapless.<br /><br />Finally I did a practice hour where I went at the speed I thought I needed to go to break 16K. I did 10K at that speed then rested for a couple of K and then finished up at the speed. That gave me a good indicater of where I was fitness wise.<br /><br />Basically I'm just trying to apply all the training techniques I learned as a cyclist and apply them to rowing. It seems to be working so far.<br /><br />Other than that, I've just been racing on RowPro for speed work.<br /><br />Jeff
