Thats fantastic Ian

Really nicely paced and a huge chunk off that previous PB

We’ll done to Fred, Colin and all others who have got this one ticked off =D> =D> Of course it’s never just 500m :lol: I’ve been putting this one off, but on a morning when I really didn’t feel like doing anything, I figured that an all out minute and a half couldn’t be too bad… could it? 8-[ IMG_60...

Looks like a great session we’ll executed Ian =D> Now: what's my 2k target for this coming season 🫣[emoji48] If that’s 2k+5 that must put your 2k pace around 1:53.x so I guess that with a fair wind and a strong finish 7:12?? Claudius - lovely days training and a great view for that run :fsbgrin: Bon...

Solid hours work there Spider and a great way to get rid of the demons from the previous day’s HD =D> Nice session Ian, even if you did forget to read the instructions :lol: 30’ “however you want” this morning so I decided to aim for somewhere just over 8k, but controlled throughout so started at ju...

Another 30’ session today. This time 5’ each at R20/22/24

Nice session tbh, working hard at the higher rate and negative splitting each comparable split

Big day in the cairngorms on tuesday so yesterday legs were still jelly. I can imagine the weather is a little variable up there this time of year (we look out over Snowdonia and watch the weather change hourly some days). Hope you had a good day. Nice 30' session 8) Felt controlled, but I'm going ...

Cheers guys. I'd like to say it was fun, but of course I'd be lying

Very nice couple of HMs Ian =D> and great FM Paul =D> =D> Mixed few days for me, with a painful CTC yesterday (no good for the weight session I’d planned to do afterwards!). Interesting 30’ session this morning consisting of 5’ @ R22 fairly easy pace follows by 1’ @ R15 Generally enjoyable, building...

Well done Ian, Jon, Fred, Tako and Colin =D> =D> I just have a little bone to pick with you all… not one of you mentioned how horrible this one is [-X :evil: So… went out at a couple of seconds faster than 2k pace and knew from the first interval that it was going to get messy. The toughest were 500...

Three rate pyramids 18/20/22/20/18 in this morning’s 30’ Went well but very slightly miffed at the rate numbers shown below: when using rate I always count every stroke to maintain rate… so how has the Erg / Ergzone shown different stroke rates on the summary for 3 splits! (which all showed correctl...

Some really solid training here 8) Ian - consistent as ever, with ongoing improvements =D> Don’t beat yourself up over the R18 pace - that’s always going to depend on 2 factors: power and the length of the drive. Unfortunately you can only change one of those! (assuming technique is good which I’m s...

Better start to the day today..

Started with a 30R20 with 30” power strokes at the end of each 10’ split. Felt pretty strong

Then 1/2 hour weights session

Great sessions all - nice consistent training Ian =D> Spider - great to see you keeping on pulling that chain :fsbgrin: Great FM Claudius =D> Not the best day for me as I collected a DNS and two DNFs DNS - woke before the alarm, turned it off and went back to sleep DNF #1 - Found time for a session ...

Jumping out of the fairytale world for a moment...

is this a new Zwift for Rowing? That's what John Steventon (of Rowalong fame) is asking. Looks interesting

Thanks Claudius :D I enjoyed my journey of fantasy through your stream of consciousness, making sure to keep my hands and feet inside the carriage at all times. Reaching the end, I must confess to having immediately re-joined the queue for another ride. As your monitor pairs with Zwift, I imagine yo...

Really solid improvement on those 3’ intervals Ian =D> =D> Another 30’ today, and I’m impressed with the way John has provided structure and variety into these half-hour sessions to keep interesting what would otherwise be a fairly repetitive training plan This one was a fairly easy 30R20, but with ...

Well done on the Zwift sessions Claudius - I can only imagine that it really helps with the motivation for longer rows. I know it makes a huge difference for me on the bike :fsbgrin: Level 57 is a great achievement, with Level 60 well within sight now I still haven't got around to connecting up the ...

Good work guys :fsbgrin: Nice when you can see a 30’ session as a warm-up Claudius :D That volume work will surely pay dividends, especially When combined with the weights stuff. Nice 30’ Spider, and very tidy negative split throughout =D> Mix for me over the last few days with a weights session on ...

Me too

Some good sessions there Ian =D> Those Tabata sets can’t have been easy - the stop start nature of them has got to be a real tough one =; Spider - sorry to hear that your still struggling with the lingering effects of the pneumonia.

Well done to Ian for almost single-handedly keeping this thread going during the last couple of weeks with some consistent training sessions and a solid 2k test =D> =D> Nice session from Jon at the weekend too - glad the fitness is coming back 8) It’s been an odd couple of weeks for me.

It’s good to hear from you Stan First of all - Thank you for all the work.

Well done all

I seem to have had my own Sisyphean task this week which has been a bit of a struggle

Off with the family to Centre Parcs this weekend for a much-needed break

Normal service will resume next week

That’ll teach me… 100 lines punishment If you complain about only getting 1’ rest you’ll end up with even less If you complain about only getting 1’ rest you’ll end up with even less If you complain about only getting 1’ rest you’ll end up with even less If you complain about only getting 1’ rest yo...

Good marker for the start of your 10k plan Ian =D> An improvement of 1’ per 500m over the plan should be achievable to knock over that PB :twisted: Mixed weekend for me with some weight and some time on the Wattbike.
