Hi Jon,

nice efforts on the 10k and the 4x1k. Good fighting spirit =D> =D>

Lots of stretching before and after rowing.Strict orders from the doctor. #-o The stretching seems to be working wonders,and a slight change in technique.Spreading the back more on every stroke. :fsgrin: Hi Jason, Is it a piriformis syndrome (because some stretching exercises seem to be having a ma...

As everyone else has said, but is worth saying again, great times from Erik, Jason & Jonny (and everyone else too, each personal target is as heard as the next eh? =D> ). Almost worked too perfectly :D Anyway, 21:49.4/1:49.1 which is 0.1 behind our Canadian friend and perfectly set up for the n...

Hi Free :fssmile: s, Great idea with this thread! The logic behind my approach is that I know it's going to hurt but getting used to the extreme pain over long periods will make the "6 minutes and 20 seconds" feel easy - I think there might be a flaw in my reasoning somewhere! Jonny, I´m a...

hewitt wrote:Cheers Erik.It feels really good to be back in the groove again after injury.

Yes, it´s good to be "back"! So your back must feel OK, now?

Erik P

Time to harden up and dig deep.Pb on the 5k by 16 seconds. 8) Feels great to take off such a big chunck of pb.I love this distance. :twisted: That´s the spirit, Jason! \:D/ Looks like you should be able to get around 6:25 on a 2k soon!! :o By the way, good going on the 6k, Jason and Jonny!! =D> =D>...

Erik, Enjoy the water. How long have you been rowing otw? Were you in a 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x? (Forgive me for asking a repeat questions... :oops: ) Yes, I will, Emily! I have been rowing in inrigger for a year now, and outrigger a couple of times (1x, 2x and 8x)! Tuesday it was in inrigger ( 2 plus cox...

Wasn't it cold?

Yes, it was cold. It got quite chilly and windy towards the evening! But it was even worse thursday evening, because there was also quite foggy!! (In Danish: "havgus")

Hi Free :fssmile: s, Did my first attempt on this yesterday: 6k 20;25,4 29 1k 3:21,1 30 2k 3:23,2 29 3k 3:26,9 28 4k 3:27,9 28 5k 3:28,6 29 6k 3:17,8 31 I think it´s obvious that I had a hard time on the 3rd, 4th and 5th k. Afterwards I was very, very tired, but of course - there is plenty of room f...

Hi Free :fssmile: s, Yesterday I started my OTW season: 14 km followed by 3k in the erg (R24, 11 minutes)! It felt good to be in an "actual" boat again - even though I really focus on using my core muscles in the erg, they are doing so much more work to stabilize the body from the movement...

After my first 3 weeks on the Pete Plan - I decided to end it with a 2K PB attempt instead of the prescribed 10k : My target was sub 1:43.1 : 0500m 1:43.0 33spm 1000m 1:42.8 33spm 1500m 1:42.9 33spm 2000m 1:42.0 35spm Final : 6:50.7 and a new PB by 2 seconds (my sig didn't get the last update..)

Yes, but very well done, Mikkel, finishing those 2 challenges in the "last minute"!! =D> =D>

Hi Mikkel,

No, you are almost (I said almost) back in business!!

Erik P

I think it was Eric P. in an earlier post who said that doing this sort of set regularly over a period of a few months has helped him achieve a seriously good 2k time. Might have to do this, or something similar every week and see what I can get my 2k down to for the autumn. Hi Jonny, Great attempt...

Hi Jesper,

yes, it surely looks PP´ish to me (but what do I know!?!)!

The 10 k in week 2 was a bit slower than in week 1... So was it at a (much) lower sr?

Erik P

(You are not following the PP right? You have repeatedly mentioned you would if you were going to follow anything, but I don't know if you committed.) I agree that people should be comfortable, but... (Sorry, PPers for this metadiscussion!!!) Emily, no, I am not commited to the Pete Plan or any oth...

Well, Jason,

that´s not so bad =D>

Erik P

Hello, all. Again just curious as it seemed to be counter to my recollection of Pete's recommendation... Hi Emily, yes, interesting about countering Pete´s recommendation. I also find it interesting that Pete himself is the first to admit to discrepancies: "As usual I don’t follow what I would...

Hi all you PPers, Jon, congrats with your new attempt on the ctc!! =D> =D> Knew you could do it :!: Emily, we are a couple of guys that are not too crazy about the low rate stuff [-X ! (I´m absolutely a novice, but on my hour I did 29 spm and on HM 28!). If you are more bored at work, Emily, you mig...

Thanks, William ,

Yet another very interesting video from your "hand"!

This guy sure has a low centre of mass which he makes very good use of in wrestling Reminds me a bit of the "lying" positions in capoeira

Hi Emily, now it´s getting tricky...

Oooops... and by the way, welcome back on the erg Mikkel & JR!!

Erik P

Hi Free s,

Nice activity on this thread today. Especially Petr & Jonny - some great improvements on the hour (of pain?!?)

Erik P

Hi Emily,

well done: high sr and negative splitting =D> =D>
