Wednesday 7th 4pm 4000m / 15:24.3 / 26spm / 1:55.5 4000m / 15:21.2 / 26spm / 1:55.2 Elyptical stepper 10min 3000m / 11:35.7 / 26spm / 1:55.9 Currently working at training myself to row at 10mps, hence short intervals to allow me to concentrate. It is coming slowly, the timing when it works is a nice feeling. George

Today: 30r20. 2K Warmup - 7:59.4, 1:59.8. 26SPM, HR160 30r20 - 7562m, 1:59.0, 24SPM, MHR170 2K Warmdown (N/S) - 8:46.6, 2:11.6 25SPM, HR155 Managed to hold 20SPM for about 12 minutes, then hit a wall. Nearly put the handle down, but after paddling at 3:30 pace for a few strokes, I decided to finish the piece unrestricted rather than give up. 5:00 splits as follows: 5:00 - 1278m, 1:57.3, 20 10:00 - 1270m, 1:58.1, 20 15:00 - 1214m, 2:03.5, 24 20:00 - 1260m, 1:59.0, 28 25:00 - 1264m, 1:58.6, 28 30:00 - 1273m, 1:57.8, 29 No pain, just ran out of energy. May need to do some 5Kr20 sessions before I try this one again...

It's a discipline thing, working within the rate. Of course, you can't help but go a little faster each time the rate goes up. For me personally this translates to the following (approximately) 24spm = 2:15-2:20 26spm = 2:10 28spm = 2:00 30spm = 1:50 So it's not really all that tough in terms of pace. But for someone like me who only just recently started doing more than 10-20min a time on the erg, it's a way to add volume without killing myself. Cheers!

Not a huge amount today 5k in 20.54.8 and then 3507 in 14.45.4 why 3507? because that took my total to......(drum roll).... 1,000,001. Have already sent off for the t-shirt and have cleared a space on the bathroom wall for my certificate, which I intend to frame. my long-suffering wife has been great patting me on the back, but nobody else seems to give a toss (so plenty of well done replys would make me feel lovely). But if anything should really make me feel better it's the fact that, largely thanks to this one piece of gym equipment, i have lost approximately 50lb i less than 12 months. Thank you Concept 2!

I, and a number of people I've connected with, had a bit of a motivational "break" after hitting 1,000,000 meters. Best to set another lofty goal and get on with it, so as not to lose the motivation. But, today .... CELEBRATE!!!

Popey, Way to go on 1,000,001! You should be proud indeed. May 2,000,002 not be far away. Nick

Rowed 10K last night. Rowed 2*6200m 5:00r Started a third interval and gave up after ~2,200. Rested a bit longer Rowed 10K Total for the session 24,698; which takes me through 300,000 in the last two weeks. I've also gone through 2,000,000 metres this week. Three days off now. No rowing or cycling until Monday morning. Sunday is a trip to see Santa at Paulton's Park - that should be a "hoot hoot". (UK website is still offline.)
