Plummy - slight mistake on the PB's - they're my husband's PBs!

Swift lesson on entering PB's coming up I reckon. They'll be changed in a minute.

Cracked the magic (for me anyway) 20 minute figure for the 5K in 19.44.4. Feel really good about that!

Had a crack at a half marathon yesterday and managed 1.34.54 which was about 5 minutes slower than my running time of 18 years ago. Today I decided to make a first attempt at the AWL CTC. I worked out that my splits should be: 1.45/2.02/4.07/2.02 and a final whatever :D . I ended up with 1.50.1/1.54...

Had a day off from training yesterday and returned to the gym on the rig with renewed vigour. The first day of my new C2 training regime required me to do a 2k flat out 500m 1:50.2 1:50.2nice warm up. 2,000m 7:29.8 1:52.4 new PB by 10.5 seconds. The CTC 2k taught me something even though this was ro...

Would you tackle those first four reps at your normal 2k pace, 1k pace or somewhere in between. Over simplifying it for me.......... if my regular 2k was 2.00 min splits and1k was 1.50, would 1.55 be OTT? The times are examples.

I started on the rower to lose weight and saw the Concept weight loss programme. It's been 12 weeks since I started the 10 week programme ( I was without a rower for two weeks) and I've lost 7kg. That's less than my (somewhat ambitious)target of 10kg but I very happy with the result. My body has cha...

Just cracked my second attempt at this and managed to knock 5.5 secs off my PB. What a struggle though. Unlike you Stan, I don't think that I'll get addicted to 24 spm. When I entered the time into my rowing log, it wouldn't accept the 16 digit number. Our gym is 64steps down on the main deck on the...

10653 metres towards the celebrations. Rowing on a drilling rig in the Philippines. 12 days to go before I get home for the winter.

Great day today. This is my last week of a 10 week Concept 2 weight loss programme and I was lined up for 5 x 8 min AT. Started of with a slow one 1777m and then threw in a 4 min session to try and improve on the Challenge Series time. Covered 1112m which was an improvement of 6m. Then did 1963m, 18...

Hi Damian :fsgrin: I started training with a Concept 10 week (6 sessions per week) weight loss programme. I'm in my last week now and it's worked pretty well in that I've lost 7kg +. ( I'm not saying that you need to lose weight :fsbgrin:) It was also a good basis to get going in this sport. Next we...

Thanks for that Badocter.

I was basing my MHR on my age (62). In addition, I'm on blockers ( quad heart bypass) so I have been cautious about how high to push the heart rate. I hung around 134 for ages and then decided to go for broke - no harmful effects (so far ).

Daily visit to the rig gym (Offshore drilling rig in the Philippines): Today's target was 5 x 6 mins sessions as part of my structured 10 week programme from Concept. Warm up was 6 mins and 1445 m - highest pulse rate was 122 Second 6 min rep was 1559m - my best for 6 mins so far and heart rate max ...

Just added my 45k to the total by joining. It's a bit of a mountain to climb to overtake the leading team though. Do my klicks count towards the Jupiter orbit? How do I check?

Bill Wright

Thanks Stan

That worked. I don't know how or why I was "unaffiliated" but I am now "re-affiliated" and the stats are in again

I joined a few days ago and filled in my Log Book on the Concept 2 site and noted with some pride that my name appeared in the meter board almost instantly. It stayed there for a few days but has now disappeared. Is there something I need to do to get back in please?

Hi

This may be covered some where else on the forum. Is there a method to make the latest post appear at the top of the list in each topic? In other words sorted permanently in 'Descending' mode.

I've now bought one for home use. I had a 4xCABG three years ago and have now reached a stage where some form of training is...
