Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

Congrats to all of the consistent Training. And especially for those who are in the restart process, Hewitt. May you have the benefits and numbers you need with the new metall mistress - and all the best to your spouse/friend with this kind of diagnosis. Yesterdays first session was planned as a sim...

Re: The Last Marathon - a story to tell

It's been a while since I've written anything. I had a "traumatic" marathon experience on St. Nicholas Day. Joking aside. That was also a fascinating experience. Yesterday was leap year day. On St. Nicholas Eve I said to myself: Never again marathon, like never again alcohol. We're all exp...

Re: The Last Marathon - a story to tell

Thank you very much for your comments! I have resumed the usual game. I never really had any "withdrawal symptoms", it's just that a big motivating factor was missing, I consciously thought about numerous political decisions - and in particular about drug use, addiction and its demarcation...

The Last Marathon - a story to tell

This is just a post about the last Marathon. Fell free to tell your Marathon storys here. It was on St. Nicholas Day when I tackled the last marathon. It was in a abandoned place. There, where you can come to rest, write stories, I also set up a RowErg with a few stereo speakers. There was electrici...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

It seems that this is all over now...I let you know if I have time to write about the last 2 weeks. Today just a just row @...

Re: Rowing meets Cycling - Rowing on Zwift

Thank you for the answer. It's a cheat either way - because there is no rowing avatar, but the workout is rowing. Thus, what is virtually objectified on the screen is a cheat, lies in the realm of non-existence - there is no reasonable objectifiable correlate in time and space. It is simply the noth...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

Spider: well controlled workout on Monday, nice negative split on Tuesday Ian & Rob: 20 S/M is low rate for me, too. No question :-) Before the ctc 10k I did a cyclocross technique training yesterday, mainly easy, but since it contained some "quite good" steep ramps, it also addressed ...

Great to have you back, Spider ! Mat, hope you have some fun riding the bike. This said, I said cycling is back, but not the last 10 days, 3x24h shifts in 5 days and a lot of other stuff makes to find time for training again struggling. I wanted to row a FM yesterday, but it was meant to do a 10k TT...

Interesting intervals! on Wednesday I did a 3h just row Z2 on the static, which became ~43k, Thursday just a cx ride, that was fun, followed by some insignificant maintaining rows, today in the morning an z3-z6 interval row on slides by the laws of a virtual route called eastern eight, that was &quo...

Thank you both of you. I felt a little bit tired today, after yesterdays HM, + MTB +200m sprint, and I was @work- so I could made a 200m go on the static. It went according to plan. As expected slower. I wrote something in the FB group, it is my worst erg means, it is indeed not in an optimal condit...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

I had a go for the last missing spot in the GRID competition. I expressed my opinion on Strava that the best "numbers" distance for an indoor rower might probably be the 10k. So I decided to go for the 10k. Everything was going according to plan. I knew I was way off my best time from 18 m...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

Most of us still enjoying Summer ? It is about time to come back. Still not at its full lvl. Hope the meters and the intensity is coming on all cylinders...so zooon. 2 attempts for the grid are in the house. It is still far far away from pb. But I am happy with the results. It is what it is.

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?

oh yes, see a lot of interval sessions. Good work !
I suffered once more an infection desease: Bronchitis, cautious comeback ! I wanted finally have at least one entry for the Grid: This it is: 5k at or around LT1, higher stroke rate, keeping HR low.

I just have to share it again, it is in original about classic OTW rowing (Einstein), vs. Indoor (Thats us, Barbieman :lol: :!: :lol: ), vs. Coastal (Oppenheimer).

Indoor rowing and being fit. I have a writing backlog ahead of me.

A little spoiler here for future articles. Just because they revisit t...

Also a bit harder on the last splits, Spider- a touch of negative split.
Translation: Lets all have fun. We are the big boss in the middle. We are TheOne who have fun ! I didnt make this meme, found it on FB. It is a good one. Love it. Despite that I Neither watched Oppenheimer nor Barbie.
