Excellent point

A little bit cheeky Jon on the 1 minute

Looking like a 6k to start the year off

My vote would be for a ranked piece. It seems to encourage a larger participation.
I hate the fussy intervals especially with - meters etc...

4 minutes ??

Thanks Kevin, but not this time. My time at our nationals (AIRC) was faster. But happy with that result at 2AM! A false start from me, no specific prep for this event and I expected about 1.43. Lets see what WRICH brings in February. Cheers, Lesley I was wondering about your time difference 😱😱 are ...

I'm sure that's a new 500 PB Lesley !! 1:43.3 @ 43.7 spm !!!! Well done

Good luck Lesley tomorrow in the BRIC 500 race

Done not a good idea to do it after squats 349 mts. Looking forward to another go in the IRL

Great news Mat !! Speedy recovery fella and I'm sure you'll get all the support & encouragement from this place with your rehab too.

Cant believe that a month has gone by since I last posted here !! The strength phase has gone really well. My first real block of it in 30 years 😳😳 now for the hard bit 🙈 transferring as much of the power into my rowing?? If I can keep 90-95% of my new numbers I'll be happy. How is your training goi...

Well done Paul on the swimming & walking 😎 ^O^ I could not imagine walking that far !! I'm just coming to the end of 12 weeks of strength work. Its been 30+ years since I did my last proper strength programme :shock: The majority or my rowing recently have been shorter pieces with the bike-erg f...

3419 - 7 = 3412

That was ugly

Great result Lesley !! It's amazing how quickly you forget the pain & sick bowl of a conditioning phase
I'm in the land of 2s 3s & 4s. My new nemesis of an exercise is reverse lunge I must admit the DOMs are high at the moment.

How are your poor old feet Paul ??

Well done Lesley !! It's a great feeling to execute a plan with a superb result. Enjoy the short rest

At last a ctc that links in with my training schedule no excuses for me in November

Any pace tips anyone ??

Sorry I haven't added to this thread 😔 life & training has been full. I'm 6 weeks in to a 12 week strength programme now. I'm only rowing 3-4 times a week longest session are 4 x 1ks but the pace is getting warmer now. I've just completed my half way tests. 100mts 15.8 500mts 31.7 Weights wise I...

It's in my schedule had some big sessions in the last 10 days got them out of the way now

I'm on the board have a slight adductor strain

I'm here Jon
Can I just log in the same as last season ??

Deep into a strength programme. Haven't been keeping up with my Concept log

I'm happy to join the ranks again I enjoy the monthly elbow/reminders from Jon

I did my 10K for the rowolympics challenge tonight. Seem a popular choice [emoji846] zone1 R20 row for me yet again [emoji6] only a 6k to complete the row-erg. Well done Iain with cracking this months ctc [emoji41] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210729/742ab57ac3bc19955db679ff2b4014b4.jpg Sent f...

Paul amazing effort. Not surprised the island won again though. Regroup and trying again with a more favourable weather window. Sorry to hear about your EF being 41% but as you say your feeling well & getting stronger [emoji41] completely due to your continued daily efforts. Long may it continue...

My Saturday interval was 8 x 10 minutes [emoji1785][emoji1785] in this heat [emoji15] 2 fans on full blast. Listening to pick of the pops [emoji1787][emoji1787] 19680 / 2:01.9 R20 Iain I agree with the others. Walk away or just do it at 70% effort to give you a target to improve on later in the mont...

Odd size plates [emoji15][emoji85] that makes things far more interesting. I waited until my bumper plates were on special offer [emoji106] the price post pandemic of most gym equipment is ridiculous!! How often do you use the bosu ball Lesley ?? Great bit of kit. It on my wishlist when space allows...

Spider 4 x 2k is one of my most hated interval sessions 🤮🤮🤢 what was your rest time ? I couldn't imagine a spm of 30+ at the moment 😳 Mine today was changed to 4 x 15mins with 90 sec rest 3648 2:03.3 3658 2:03.0 3689 2:02.0 3691 2:01.9 14686 @ 2:02.5 average all at R20 Must admit the energy levels w...

My first attempt

2k 7:29.2 @ 1:52.3 R20
5k 19:10.3 @ 1:55.0 R23

Total = 26:39.5

I will be giving it another go I just haven't got my speed shoes on yet.

The power rack looks ideal 😎 a great base for almost everything. The wheelbarrow of pain is new to me though 🤣 My pain cave is a little crowded at the moment. I have to shuffle around equipment to suit every day. Good news though I had my 100kg bumper set delivered yesterday!!! My flagstone floor wi...
