Wowzer that's amazing Eric . 10k is still the longest row I have completed and I don't think I have ever gone over 20k in a day. I have also recently aquired my own erg and have just got a pm3 for it this week, although I'm not planning a 100k any time soon

Well that was pretty horrible. I knew it was going to really hurt half way through the middle interval. Plan was to see if I could stick to 1:35 average during first 3 intervals and see how I felt. 4th interval was by far the worst and pace was really falling by the end. Think this was the first tim...

I looked at the CTC page and it has already gone onto March challenge so I can't ammend my score to 1. I messaged Dougie to see if he could remove my distance. He seemed happy to let it stand as the rules were not hard and fast. Maybe I should do it again tomorrow and see if I can match or better my...

Might have to maroon some people on the shore as I have asked for my distance to be removed from CTC board. I was was really tired as I had worked a night shift thursday and I missed off the standing starts for each interval when I noted down the intervals before leaving for the gym. :oops: Wasn't e...

Strider, if he ends up as big as me I hope he chooses rowing and doesn't wait until his mid 30's like me.
Ann, yes he is a bit of a cute thing. Also noticed that his hoodie made him look like a free spirit when I saw the pics.

He has already had a sit on the seat and slid back and forth with me holding him. CTC next

Couple of pics from the other day when I was cleaning and servicing my new model c. Oscar was being really helpful passing me tools and trying to use the alen key on every bolt I

I am now the proud owner of of a rather tatty model C, my first erg. Picked it up the other day, it is an ex gym machine with faulty monitor, but only paid £100. Will give it a good service and clean this week and see if anything needs replacing. I'll be using it without monitor (using heart rate mo...

I have just seen a model C for sale, but with broken monitor. Was just wondering if it is not fixable if there area any parts/sensors/wires related to the monitor that are not available to buy? Hoping that I may get it cheap enough that even if I have to get PM3 upgrade it will be worth it.

Nice 2k Eric 8) For me recently it has been a case of pride before a fall. I was on a bit of a high before christmas with a good showing in the CTC and felt that I was getting close to previous levels. However since christmas I most of my faster sessions have resulted in HD failure. Starting with an...

Hi Dave, I don't really have a budget, so as little as possible. I will still have my gym membership as I can use it 2-3 times a week and also use weihts. My idea was to do any short intervals and quick stuff when I use the model D in the gym and use the model B at home for longer stuff/steady state...

Hi, I'm just not getting as many sessions in the gym (on model D) as I would like due to working shifts and having a little person to look after. I have seen a model B for sale and just wondering what peoples views on them are. Is there anything to look out for? Any parts hat ware out and can't be r...

Good work Jon, I'm also finding this difficult to pace as also coming back after a period away. Sorry but just bumpped you back into FS2. 1 6:47.7 1:41.9 r26 2 6:47.4 1:41.8 r26 3 6:47.1 1:41.7 r26 Will have one more go at this but not sure if there is much more I could take off this time at the mom...

Trying to work out what pace to try next for this one, think I will go for around 1:42 and see what happens. Was thinking that around 1:40 would be pretty good for the really quick guys, but just seen Graham Benton's pace 1:35.8

I will be spending some time at my parents over christmas and would like to get a couple of erg sessions in while there. Does anyone use or know if there are any gyms in the Wincanton/Gillingham area of Somerset or Dorset, that allow non members to use them?

Not managed to get to the gym since Monday so decided to go hard and do 8x500m with 3:30 rest followed by weights session. Just over 15k coveres in total with warm up, cool down and active rest

My regular 3x3k with 3 rest for me today. Felt prety good albeit a bit sweaty as the gym was war today. Decided to do an extra interval as I'm not getting as many sessions in as I would like at the moment due to work. 3000 10:59.9 1:49.9 r25 3000 10:59.2 1:49.8 r25 3000 10:58.3 1:49.7 r25 3000 10:57...

Well done Rodger, the splits looked well controlled to me. I find that some of my best rows are not planned or the plan changes part way through. 10k pb for me this week. First timed go over this distace so not an improvement on a previous one. 1 7:35.8 1:53.9 r25 2 7:35.8 1:53.9 r24 3 7:35.8 1:53.9...

Thursday 10k 37:43.6 1:53.1 r25 Nice and steady 1:53.9 pace r25 for first 8k then accelerated throughout last 2 k to end with 1:50.1 av pace. Very happy with this as was only the second time I have completed the distance and the first one that was timed. Saturday 4x1k 5 rest 1 3:20.7 1:40.3 r28 2 3:...

Really tough session but managed to hold sub seven for all three intervals. Didn't think it would be as hard as it was, having completed 3 x 2k with 5 rest at sub seven pace with little drama last week.

2000 6:58.0 r27
2000 6:58.0 r26

Hi everyone, good to see this thread still going strong, with some familliar faces and some newer ones. I am slowly getting back to fitness after around 18 months of almost no sporting activity. For various reasons I have been away from the erg, the short version being: new baby born really early, r...
