Well done Stan . Nice to see you on the move again ^O^ I'll second that Stan =D> Don't worry about the pace feeling hard at the moment. Coming back from injury, anything is bound to feel tough, but you'll soon build the pace back up to where you were :fsbgrin: I'd allocated today to take a run at t...

Well done Laurence - that's a great achievement, and in little over a year too =D> =D> Even more so given your brief sabbatical towards the end of last year =D>

30', 8400m, 1:47.1, sr27 6', 1:16.1, sr25 12', 1:47.3, sr25 18', 1:50.0, sr27 24', 1:47.1, sr29 30', 1:45.7, sr29 Very nice 30' sesh Mat although I think that you're fibbing about the first split :wink: Keep plugging away. OOPs :oops: For a brief moment, I tried to imagine what it would be like to ...

Plugging away on PBs Slight improvement 2k Was 6:46.3 -> 6:44.3 Tired legs - currently pushing miles so pleased Any improvement on a 2k PB is a major achievement, and 2s is certainly more than a "slight improvement" =D> =D> The splits look really positive too, and with all of the last 100...

Well done on the mile Si, and I have to agree with the posts above in that the sub-7' 2k cannot be far away =D> If you can't wait to grow a pair, it may be worth checking on E-bay - it's amazing what people sell on there :lol: After a week doing various unplanned stuff designed to get used to change...

For tea we had steak and ale pie
Which I'd almost forgotten to buy

Why don't you try your "new" style with your "old" DF which should actually lead to a net reduction in quad workload? Thanks for your input Doc - I'll give that a go. I'm planning a 30'r25 tomorrow (unconventional, I know, but there is an element of method in my madness!), and w...

I will work on this. 1st. goal is to do it all in 1:45 pace then 1:44 and 1:42 :mrgreen: I'm in a similar position to you on this Mikkel. I've been working on changing my technique since Manchester, and whilst it is going really well on the low rate stuff, I just cannot hold a reasonable pace for f...

This is more like the "old" Erik (not the one that was ill for the most of Jan & Feb) :!: :D WELCOME BACK "OLD" ERIK :fsbgrin: =D> That's a fantastic time, and a just incredible finish =D> ^O^ . Can't wait to see what's to come now you're getting back to fighting form :twist...

That's one of the problems with this sport Peter - the longer you keep improving your PB's, the smaller they become. They are still just as sweet whether they are large or small and arguably sweeter if they are only tiny like 0.7s - because it shows you had the determination to drive through the pa...

Today i finished off my first 100k week in absoultely yonks - maybe ever - with an 18k session (8k and two 5ks) Well done Iain - great achievement to kick start the new regime =D> =D> Goal now is to average 11k a day for the rest of the season and see if i can hit that 5m by May 1. And if that invo...

Bit of a special day for me today... It is one year to the day that I first sat on Plummy's rower. And what a year that has been. Highs, lows, handle downs, personal bests, a gold medal... A changed body - 45 (+/-) pounds lighter!!! Crikey!!! It feels so good to be back at fighting weight. New ward...

Last night saw me rugby training for the first time in 20 years! The training session went well, albeit on a very heavy, muddy pitch, but there were a few aches this morning from muscles that are not used in this very linear sport of ours! :fsbgrin: This morning then, was very much of a recovery row...

Sounds like the understatement of the year so far That's a great improvement =D> =D> Guess you'll be racing away from me on the Nonathon again - just as I'd drawn level as well

"Staggering" doesn't even begin to do it justice!

New 30' PB for me this afty. :D 7252m. Up by 183mts. Helped by the new PM3 that I now have fitted. The 'projected mts' section helps with knowing where I am with pacing. Four weeks now till I go for a new 2K. :fsbgrin: Well done on the PB - 183m is a huge leap =D> =D> Know what you mean about the P...

An improvement twice is just cool. =D> I suspect that you holding back something
And doing it again after only 3 minutes is an impossible thought to me. That is quite extraordinary I believe
I have to bow

Ditto - well done Dave =D> =D>

2500m...8:14.7...1:38.9...r29 That's a great row Jason, even if it wasn't 100% :shock: Well done =D> I went out this morning to have a bash at beating my previous time. I started at a similar pace to yours, but couldn't hold it though, after what has been a fairly heavy week :evil: I exited gracefu...

Well done on the PB Cliff - its great to see those Pb's keep on tumbling =D> =D> Best of luck with the hour

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE MIKKEL =D> =D> =D> =D>

Mat, I think I understand people´s need to make comments :!: Rather untraditional technique :!: But it isn´t too bad, so a good base to build upon. :D Thanks Erik! I came away from Manchester with three great outcomes - I'd met some of the Free Sprits who'd provided so much support and inspiration ...

The last 20% is getting harder and harder as I get closer to pb pace I'm not surprised that the last part is getting tougher Denis - you are making relentless progress, with improvements week on week =D> =D> Fantastic work - keep it up, and you'll soon hit PB, and no doubt keep on going :fsbgrin:

Those spinning classes are just great Peter, and possibly one of the few workouts that can be as exhausting as a good session on the rower :twisted: Lee, Jason & Colin - sounds like a tough, painful hour today - enjoy the light and fluffy stuff tomorrow, though I guess if you get together on row...

Digger David detested dark dingoes,
So he kept them away with his bongos,
'til one day they got free (thought it would be easier to rhyme than "escaped" )

All i have to do know is start smashing a few PBs.

No need to contemplate an FM though - I can do without you getting an extra 100 points
