Re: Indoor rowers league 2014/15, formerly Challenge Series

That's great Jason. Just make sure you do it as a standalone mile - they have very strict rules about this. Maybe it would be better if you did the mile first and then did 2 x 2k afterwards. The PP 5k Plan is designed around 2k warm up then hard 2k then 2k cool down so I will change it to 2k warm u...

Re: The Pete Plan

Hi Scotch. Going to need a bit more info to figure out were you are on your 2k plan. Have you ever tried a 2k predictor like 6x500m with 1min rest at target 2k pace? What df do you row on? Have you any chance of dropping down from 78kgs to 75kgs? Because that would make you a good LWT instead of an ...

Glad to hear the hamstring pain is gone, Jason. That's some session at DF 111. Maybe you should bring in a screwdriver and ask to borrow their vacuum cleaner the next time you visit the gym. Thanks Paul and Alan. Who do you think cleans the good erg in the gym? The erg that has a nickle chain and a...

But the gods were against me this morning because I had to use the older of the 2 ergs in the gym with a max drag of 111. :( Normally use 129-135. 9x421m with ...
