Re: Beginners
I am a beginner; have had my Model D 1 week. Have never rowed or been on a erg before. Did of few of the "First Workouts" on the C2 website. Today I began with the 24 week, Beginner Pete Plan. Thus my first 5000m. 60F 5'5" 34:07.5 Having a plan is the key to reaping the many benefits...

Re: Millionaires club-Season
Does that mean next season's target should really be three million metres? Well done, if I can shake off this chesty cough I might just join the 2M/season fraternity.Richard Lindner wrote:Thanks Paul. Season target achieved with 6 weeks to spare

Re: New Collated Order Date
It was the t shirts the wife was referring to, to the best of my knowledge she has never washed a council tax bill in her life

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Over a minute and a half off my HM PB this evening aiming for anything close to 90 minutes, 1:29:35.3 quite acceptable as I did my warm up in the piece, some numb bits and sore hands but chuffed with the PB.

Re: FS Gilet for sale.. sadly.
John, perfect fit and certainly raises the profile of the club as four people asked what 'Free Spirits' are whilst walking from Hotel Room to the Gym.
Cheers.

Re: What's your resting heart rate?
39 when I first wake up and low fifties during the day. These figures are both ten to fifteen BPM lower than they were prior to taking to rowing.

Re: 2014 weight loss thread
Paul, Well done on getting to the milestone of below 100kg, enjoy the celebration meal but sustainable weight loss IMO is about finding a 'new' normal which allows the enjoyment of good food and drink but is a balanced approach. Congratulations to both of you on reaching 35 years together, there oug...

Re: February CTC - RowPro Rules Rugby Test
Sander, when I improved my HM PB by only 7 seconds and complained that an hour and a half of effort really should have generated a more significant return, my wife replied "just row faster next time"........ Some people really don't understand. Well done on the improvement.

Re: Weight loss training program
It's quite useful to know that a pint of Stella is 260 calories, set your PM to calories and it tends to reduce the consumption!

Well done Plummy, keep eating, even when you don't feel that you can. Jelly Babies give a quite extraordinary sugar boost!

Re: February CTC - RowPro Rules Rugby Test
My 2K PB is based on a 1:53.8/500 which is probably due for an update, so a target time of 1:52 should have been well within reach. 4:00.0 1078 1:51.3 29 163 3:00.0 811 1:50.9 29 165 2:00.0 535 1:52.1 29 160 1:00.0 266 1:52.7 29 150 3:00.0 795 1:53.2 29 166 13:00 3485 1:51.9 29 Because I've never do...

Re: The MOVEO 1000 km Project
Plummy did you weigh in prior to starting today's onslaught? How do you think you are holding up physically? Are you balancing the calorie burn rate? The consequence of not getting it right now will make it much more difficult in the days to come... Stay strong and do what you know you need to do! E...
