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

Well Max, I heard you :-) and here is a marker for you (for now ;-) ) 10:01.5 @ 1:46.7 Nice row Tako =D>. Normally you are faster at shorter distances and I am faster at longer ones so it will be an interesting month. The battle of the middle! That said, 4.5s under the patented Maclaren estimator [...

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

Well done to all early starters! For everyone else I recommend you do not follow my approach...
Step 1, Input your best 2k and 5k times in the Pace Predictor.
Step 2, Go :shock: :shock: :shock:
Step 3, Try it anyway and HD half way through :lol:.

Re: The Pete Plan

Iain, well done on your 2k SB.

8x500 today. Missed a start so had the benefit of a slightly longer rest period as I re-set the monitor. Average pace over the 8 was the same as last time at 1.39.0.

Re: Poll for October ctc

Hmm, I rather liked the original 2 x c2k then empty the tanks for the 400m then have to do it again for the final 200m. It's the way the speed builds massively over the last 2 intervals which appeals. Or at least should build :wink:

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?

Thanks to Jetson, my family's black Labrador when I was growing up, I thought it would be nice to have the dog days of summer black dog icon. But having been away for a week I needed to add some meters quickly so today's row was the hour of power / pain. PB of 15,361 which is an improvement of 60m. ...

That is awesome! But I really hope the diet goes well or else I have no hope of boat 2. HD'd today after interval 4 :cry:. Maybe one more attempt before the end of play.

I like the idea of using the three 2k times as distances, what if we were to include her age as a distance 84 and her birthday 22/6. Using the 10 minutes however you like as the intervals between each challenge. Using the shorter distances between the larger. You may have to explain that a little f...

Whilst I will miss your inspiration and support on the PP I'll be interested to hear how you get on. 12x250m @1:35.0 which is 0.1 pace faster than last time.

Re: Poll for October ctc

To help give Roger and Clare some more ideas and to build on Wolfie's suggestion I was wondering if linking the distances to Gillian's 3 British 2k records would be appropriate. So Gillian's times of 8:52.6, 8:51.8 and 9.01.0 could turn into 852m, 851m and 901m as part of the challenge. I also saw t...

Yesterday was 8k @ 1:56.9 and today was the 250m pyramid. Pleased to say it was 0.3s pace faster than last time @ 1:41.7 8). The last 250m ...
