Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
I'll break my silence. The last 10 weeks have been quite mixed. June was the worst month in terms of sports. 50 hours of overtime at work. Heat. Little sport. July and August so far better. Last Sunday the first "competition" in a long time. Mud and obstacle run. Team name "Who is Ach...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
It's been a while. I was at a seminar at the end of May. Once again in the beautiful Zillertal. Lots of cycling. The fresh air, the high mountains, the sparkling, gurgling alpine streams. What an experience in the real world. Some may have followed my activities on Strava. We had our fun. Now back t...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
thank you guys ! Stroke rate 30-32 is race s/m for longer pieces. Do not matter if on slides or not. This one was on a static. I do not have experiences with an all out Marathon on slides. The differences would be intersting. DF was 123 and quite well chosen. "Coach"said start first with 1...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Hello, it's good to see that the new season is seamlessly following the previous one. Good efforts everyone! New season = Marathon Challenge. We wanted to join with the distance of all distances. The great myth of an endurance event. Marathon. So yesterday's effort was not easy. I tried to keep rowi...

Re: Fairy Tales
The rush of a marathon, that strained feeling, the heavy legs - endurance junkies ! Another form of the Dionysian rush. An intoxication is an intoxication. A depression another thing. So let's call a depression a "Renton Reverse", since Mark Renton was a fictional person and any imaginativ...

Re: Rowing meets Cycling - Rowing on Zwift
Rowing vs Running. The Kickstart Workout on Zwift. This morning I locked myself in the on-call room of the hospital during my emergency doctor duty to hopefully row the half marathon distance into the logbook without interruption to kickstart the new season. Preferably with a workout, of course. Fun...

Bravo to all your training, boys and girls ;-) ! Congrats Ian to a terrefic FM with pb I guess ! I see the powerstrokes Mat ! On 30th april a quite wonderful cx ride, also a little bit exhausting, because some segment play was involved. Some unspecific rows the other days. Today a HM with the Kickst...

Re: Rowing meets Cycling - Rowing on Zwift
So it was on Friday, a warmer day, in which we managed to level up to 58. So there was Spring for Friday and Saturday in Bavaria. Now it is running on Zwift again. And it is different. Today I rowed as a third training session a small workout 40/30. Which means the 40 were still easy, but the 30s we...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Consistent Training Ian and Spider. Sharp Intervals from Hewitt :!: Today only 16km. That's enough. Mainly Zone2. Should actually be Zone1. Zwiftynamic. I feel it in my legs, I feel the training of the past days in the whole body. Recovery is necessary. Sorry. The spring must wait. First a little re...

Re: Rowing meets Cycling - Rowing on Zwift
Thanks for the link Mat, had a look, it's interesting as with so many new rowing apps how they handle it. If you have ever read my story "What is fit to be?" then it is clear that in the future, and this is also sad but true, I will not rely on an app. Even the pm5 readings I will ignore, ...

Oh yes, Mat, the fairy tale of Alice. That's great. That whole rabbit hole. Just another description to delve into the realm of unconsciousness. Or are we still standing in front of the rabbit hole and it's still a filthy dirty abyss into the unknown and all of its dreamlands are our dreams making t...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Yesterday was a recovery-row-day. Easy. Low Hr. Even a little lower than usual. Reveals the strained system. Ian- of course your workout was more than Zone2 - just saw the HR around 70% -but I guess this is from Hr max not Threshold Hr ? So it is more Zone 3 and 4 ? The graphic on your picture revea...

Good progress, Ian and Mat. I see in your 6x6 in these Zone-Rings-of-Power that there was still much left in the tank, Mat. So it was on the edge of LT1 ? Same Z2 effort on your 55min, Ian ? Great rows ! Today was another "Volume Tuesday". Everything went according to plan. The plan was re...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
My latest training session. Let's talk about Sunday. If I have time, there will be a special slot around noon. On Sunday, the coach told me to row a HM in zone 3. I did it. Nothing special. It was a little bit to make a difference. A start to join the higher zones after spending a lot of time in the...

Re: International Women's Day
Welcome back Carole, hope you are fine and get back to fitness soon.
Also had a go for the IWD. 5 k. To be precise. To be "Akkuratesse". No nanometer shorter or longer. Totally failed OCD.
