Count me in as well if possible

Strong fast recovery as always, you don't seem to need a "build-up" period after sickness do you Erik!?

12 reps :?: :?: :?: :?: That´s a superb display of willpower, David :!: ^O^ ^O^ ^O^ ^O^ At the Doctor´s today, a minor infection in my body and on antibiotics - not part of my plan (if I even had one...)... We´ll see how it all works out... :fswink: Hope you have a fast recovery, and at the same ti...

Thanks Erik! Today didn't get to train until 9 pm, but a solid session, 12x600/2R @ 1.41.2 / 29 spm - threshold with a few harder reps in the end (maximal effort on last one) 600m @ 1.42.9 / 29 spm / 2R 600m @ 1.43.0 / 28 spm / 2R 600m @ 1.42.9 / 28 spm / 2R 600m @ 1.42.9 / 28 spm / 2R 600m @ 1.42.8...

Since last time 14/1 - Easy steady state session - 60 min @ 1.59.6 / 21 spm 15/1 - 5 min @ 1.50 after I finished a XC-skiing session 17/1 - Another go at the CTC which is perfect in current training plan, now 5k in 17.12.3, splits...

Very nice 2k Erik =D> =D> ... seems you are right on track, and a fast return to the erg after the race! I havn't had the energy to follow my original plan, but have been doing "more than nothing" (and some running and XC skiing sessions not reported below) 7/1 - 16.5k easy distance @ 2.03...

Last week back in regular erg training for the first time in ages, been working way to much but determined to at least train a few minutes daily 30/12 - 30 min @ 2.00 before breakfast, 25x40/20 @ 1.40 in the evening 1/1 - 4k @ 1.51/2R + 5x500 @ 1.40.5 /1r + 4K @ 1.50.5 (better and better feeling dur...

Hope your body is responding the right way Jon!

- Had another CTC attempt 20/12 - epic fail. First 5 reps in 1.40.9-1.41.0, but 250m into rep 6 just couldn't keep the pace, 1.48-1.45-1.42 in the last 3 reps. - Easy distance 60 min @ 2.05 with 30s sprints with 36-40 spm every 1k 21/12, then been out of training due to sickness, hopefully back in t...

A lot of work this week, still some good training but not to much rowing, 3 sessions (the first one the 3x2k described in my previous post) Tuesday a new CTC attempt, not as much improvement as I had expected, but didn't have a good feeling before the session either. Was hoping to negative split fro...

Fast recovery from the surgery Erik! And some good training since I visited the forum the last time, will be chasing your CTC, but unlikely to challenge it... My erg season is not going according to plan, more sickness in end of october, and then 4 weeks vacation without an erg in sight (ok this was...

A fellow competitor at the Danish indoor rowing regattas made an SB yesterday at 6k: 21:00.4 - so "had to" strike back... My answer: 6k 20:52.4 1:44.3 30 1k 3:26.4 1:43.2 30 2k 3:27.6 1:43.8 31 3k 3:28.3 1:44.1 30 4k 3:28.9 1:44.4 30 5k 3:30.1 1:45.0 29 6k 3:31.0 1:45.5 30 Must have been ...

Tried to do a favorite session, 2x10x40/20 at lunchtime, but got interrupted and had to call it of after 7 intervals @ 1.38.5 pace. Gave it another shot this evening, feeling a little bit tired in legs and back but managing a good session. 2x10x40/20 @ 1.37.4 -> +2.4s from last years pb 40´ @ 1.39.0...

6x1500/1R @ 1.46.7 - the legs are getting better, just 3 sec/500m from pb on this one, and feeling ok all the way (on the other hand, this is never an all out session for me, so the feeling were just right for the session purpose) Warm up 4 min @ 140W /1R- HR 120 4 min @ 175W /1R - HR 126 4 min @ 21...

Today 5x2000m / 2R @ 1.51.6 altering between 20 and 24 spm every 500m, threshold session

Wednesday: 30 min @ 2.05 / 17 spm before breakfast, just trying to sit on the machine frequently

Erik>> I've actually been training quite well this summer, almost not competing anything, but have had some nice training runs in the mountains and forrest, and spend 3 weeks in the alps with mountain running and cycling (beside the most prioritized daily activities, like visiting the playground and...

Out of training for 3 days with a common cold, annoying but reality, will be back soon though.

Then we have similiar goals Erik, you are way ahead of me at this time, but I'll use your performances to push me, if that's ok :wink: Today's session after 19h of work, so hopefully some negative influence from that, but still feeling weak (1.44-1.45 is my "normal" pace for this session, ...

Comeback today, with the goal set to go sub 6:20 the first weekend in march (swedish champs), probably 6:40 capacity right now, but the body is good at adaptation!

30r20 @ 1.52, ok feeling, but only a second or so from max I guess
