5000 m 21:28.5 30 min 6922 m I intended to do 2x 5 k today at about 6 K pace. The idea was to do get another 10 k closer to the milion meters without having to row non stop for 45 mins. I got behind on my work so I was later at the gym and hadn't time to do what I had planned. I have something planned on wednesday, so I my next piece will be on friday. I said to my self, this one has to count for a whole week, better make it good, so I gave it all I got for 30 min.

Other than setting a new PB every time you sit on the erg, what kind of training program are you following? Enviously, Mark

Second time on a model D with PM3 : I am starting to understand it somewhat. I did a 6k - WU was too fast - heart-rate went up very fast - reached new peak of 180 - last 4k constant over 179 ; but still: 6k 23:08.1 ( 1:55.7 / 500 ) , was 23:11.2 ( 1:55.9 / 500 ) ( aug 29 ) Yes: allmost died for 3.1 seconds. </div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td class='genmed'>QUOTE (Mark Keating @ Sep 7 2004, 01:59 AM)</td></tr><tr><td class='quote'>what kind of training program are you following? </td></tr></table> 5 min WU twice something long or fast 5 min CD twice and sometimes something extra.

I've been weight training/erging all summer, and joined the rowing club at my college this year. I've only done 2 5k's so far (dont remember how fast the first one was, but my PR is....... 20:30 Not bad for a beginner?

This is a "time of day record" since I can't compete with the big boys. Just did 14,000 meters yesterday and was finished by 5:30 am before a 12 hour day shift. Time was slow (62 min), but at that hour my old body takes 15 minutes just to warmup. Also finished a 7K this am by 4:20 to make a 5:30 am shift. Best effort this season was a 42:18 10K (17 seconds off best) performed after a 24 hour shift in the ED and no sleep for 30 hours. I call these "PRWF"...personal records while fatigued". I frequently have to workout at crazy times and on no sleep. Would love to go 2 months without a night shift and try to really crank. I live on about 4-5 hours of sleep/night. Still, cannot approach my running 10K pr of 34:44. kamdo (Kevin) lw 135 pounds 5"6" (barely)

new 500 m PB 1:39.1, 38 SPM, 360 watts per stroke was 1:43.5, 33 SPM June 13/04 I was shooting for 1:40, so I am happy with the improvement, but feel completely bagged right now. I don't think it helped that I skipped breakfast, then did 2x8' AT just before the 500. Mark thanks for the inspiration Godfried!

I need to try this one. I never bothered with those longer distance, too LOOOOOONG. But you guys are giving me incentive. 10000 meters.....stay tooned. What resistance do you use when rowing those pieces? Do you use the slide?

Congratulations to all for your continuing PB's. Godfried, I like your warm up and cool down routine. Keep up the great rowing!

Changing drag for different distance, How does that effect your spm on those various pieces. I have too row everything from 500m to Half Marathons on 125Df.

If I do change setting (very rarely) I have better results with a lower drag setting than a higher one. Sir Pirate
