She's promised to try the 4 minutes and see how she feels, though she wouldn't be available for one of the months.

A dead heat on first posted distances :shock: I fear Dave and I will be playing our traditional game [-o<

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2018 / 2019

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2018 / 2019

I confess to being slightly adrift of Facebook (and whether it's frequented by anyone different - I can't see many updates in the pages I have access to), but maybe an image and weblink could be shared around to drum up interest?

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2018 / 2019

Excellent point on the rankings Grobi, which means nonathon (as many distances as are available) averaged seems fairest.

If the teams can wait until late September, we could see how many others can be encouraged....

I personally love the imagery relating to dancing at two weddings 😁

Re: September ctc - 2818m, standing start, free stroke rate

First proper attempt, not enough of a warm up but still turned out ok. I'd hazard Dave could top this with rested lungs. That said, 4.5s under the patented Maclaren estimator [emoji6] - perhaps the interactive plan is having an impact.... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180904/479a10111cce807d4a8...

We could use the results of the last ctc and alternate between the two boats - should leave the teams balanced ish?

Re: Indoor Rowers League 2018 / 2019

I'm encouraging a fellow gym goer to try the 4 minute piece (following a successful introduction to the CTCs), so we *may* have another rower signing up.

Jinxed myself completely with yesterday's row, and could pace it at all today so settled for a recovery mix today.

Re: September ctc - 2818m, standing start, free stroke rate

I had a run through this earlier to 'log' the distance on my gym's c2. Didn't plan on going anything like full pace, and finished comfortably at 1.54 pace (2km pace +3) if that's of any interest.

Re: The Interactive Plan (IP)

End of the first 'hard' week. Having habitualised myself to around 10k in the morning with the Pete Plan, I'm now nearly at piece with the 15k required for this plan on a hard week, though l last night I was running on fumes. On the flip side, there's glimmers of improvement after 3 weeks. Today was...

Very much of this mind too. If it is the case of the more the merrier then I'm keen to enter too.

Re: The Interactive Plan (IP)

Given that the majority of us are relatively untrained and non-elite athletes, any regular and sustained exercise at a reasonable intensity will bring about an improvement.

Re: The Interactive Plan (IP)

Unsurprisingly, holding 2.07 @ 22 s/m was mentally challenging too [emoji23] I'm finding that the main bump in the road between the Pete Plan and this is the - admittedly small- extra length of time needed. Going from around 45 minutes to an hour will really test once I'm a bit further along the pla...
