Re: Beginners

Hi Stewart I can't claim to be anywhere near attempting a 30 minute, but my last 2k I decided to give a real push for the last 500 and got my time down to just over 10 minutes. My HR hit 180 but I felt OK with it. I'm psyching myself up for the 3k training row I'm scheduled for today; I've not compl...

Re: Beginners

Hi everyone, I've been lurking on here for a couple of weeks since I bought my Model D, which is hands down the best piece of machinery I've ever bought. I've now managed to paddle 5 miles without keeling over so I thought it was safe to introduce myself :-) I'm Neil, I'm 43 and desperately unfit. M...
