Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Yes, I´m certain you can shave a good deal of secs of the ctc, Mat And excellent booster with the revenge on the 4 minutes =D> =D> =D> =D> Would appear you chose for some slower 5ks than we and you might have been expecting, but also the slower stuff can turn out to be very useful
And good to see you are sharpening the training now, Andy: that Mojo can´t be held down any longer - by the sprint on your 10k and by the 4x1k session =D> =D> =D>
Thursday: 5 minutes 1533m 1:37.8 33spm
Friday: 6 minutes 1821m 1:38.8 31spm
Today 6k race. Before the race didn´t feel at the top of things, maybe nerves were involved, thought that I should be content with a sub 1:45 split for the race. Didn´t start too convincing in the race - but below 1:45 in first couple of ks - then things got tougher around the half-way... But was lucky to have other ergers just right in front of me and right behind me - so somehow I didn´t lose it all. Thought I could sprint from one of the young ergers, but turned out the opposite I was completely outsprinted... But have to feel satisfied about my 20:54.9... and a 10th place in my heat (the fastest) : : http://ergometertider.dk/?page=results&loeb=7049.
And a video from 1 to around 3k (I was in the back row - second from the left)...: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7b-ZKN ... VuLWqDRH3w
Very fun to meet with Thomas Jensen again - and also say hello the "New boy at school", Howard Brammer, from C2TweetCrew

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Good work on the 10k Andy, and an impressive set of 1ks , especially given that you're still getting back into it - very nice =D> =D>
Great to see you tackling this 31 Days of Christmas Erik - some very impressive performances every day, and I'm sure that pushing these paces will be improving your fitness, mental strength and confidence going forward Sun 1:45 is always a strong pace for a 6k Erik, and even if your trademark sprint finish wasn't quite enough, that still a great performance =D> =D> =D>
You're right about Friday's 5ks being slower that usual Erik - it was supposed to be a 10k but my heart just wasn't in it so I stopped halfway, and then figured that I'd better do something more and so went for the slower, lower rate second 5k. At the back of my mind all week has been tackling the sub 17' 5k, and being just 0.5s out last time, I knew I had to go for it. After taking yesterday off, I figured that I needed to just do it and off I went this morning. In the end there were no real crises The plan was to hold 1:43 until 1500m to go, and I did just that - having done enough training at around 1:41-2, that pace felt good and there were no real issues...
This must be the fastest 5k I've done for about 2 years now I'm off on hol on Friday so 2 weeks without an erg, and then after a week or two to get back up to speed, I'll continue my 5k and 30' training with the aim of chasing my PBs on both of these by the end of Feb

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
3 x 10' r2' for me this morning;
Total 30' - 8506m, 1:45.8, 27 (1:46.3, 1:45.6, 1:45.4)
Intended to take it steady but ended up working much harder than I'd intended

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
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.

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Very nice, consistent set of 3k's Andy, and even more impressive that you decided to do an extra one too =D> =D> =D>
Yesterday morning was a 3 x 10' r2' session - Total 30' 8506m, ave 1:45.8, 27 (splits 1:46.3, 1:45.6, 1:45.4)
Last night a 30' session on RP and I continued with the aim of improving week on week. This time the pace felt hard throughout, but managed to dig in and keep the splits reasonably consistent. No real push towards the end as the HR was heading towards the 180 mark with 10' to go (didn't manage that in my 5k!), so I eased off a little to bring it home steadily!

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Sorry for the prolonged absence - just busy at work
Some great training going on - I enjoyed reading about your race Erik and of course that storming 5k Mat. Good to see Andy back on here as well.
I have been managing to train most days with the usual usual mix - nothing earth shattering to report - just not enough erging in the mixture...
I will try to get some density of erging established over the next month - then I have a holiday fortnight in Jan which will put the brakes on it again...

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Happy New Year folks.
Bit of a mixed back of training since the last post, and as you might expect a fair bit of eating
Dec
20th 40' Elliptical trainer
21st 200 BW squats
22nd Erg tabata 20s on 10s off for 10'
23rd Chest session in gym, up to 110kg bench
24th Erg 10K 36:17
25th Eating intervals
26th 30 mile bike ride
27th 4 mile walk
28th 5k run 21:56
29th Some aimless 500m intervals on the erg
30th BW chest circuits
31st Rest
Jan
1st Erg 10K 36:31
2nd Erg 4x 500m @ 1:39, 30' Elliptical trainer
None of this is going to help a whole lot for getting to a 6:20 2K!!
Goals for 2014:
17000m in an hour - this one is most important to me - I know I can do it
Sub 35 10K - SB is 30s slower, so a lot to do.
120Kg Bench press 10kg to go!
Sub 20' 5K run - a big ask, but I am doing one a week from now on, so I should get to sub 21 within a few months..
A sub 6:30 2K - aiming for during the summer...
I've got a couple of weeks before a 2 week holiday somewhere too hot for training, so wont really get in the groove until 2nd week of Feb

Happy New Year

Good to see you still get some erg sessions done, Andy, and good for our Boat 1 with your substantial ctc efforts =D> =D>
Big congrats with your brillian 30mins, Mat, and of course, last but not least, your totally convincing sub 17, one month early on top of that
In the month of December I was very busy doing the 31 days of Christmas Facebook Challenge. Gave me some SBs, so gr8 training, the biggest surprise to me was skipping the +8500 and moving str8 on to +8600 by doing 8623m...
On Jan 1st "my" gym was closed, on the 2nd did the ctc: So happy to be sub 17 again on the 5k, and with a Mat´esque splitting - almost...
Yesterday did 3x750m+4´:
1: 2:26.1 1:37.4 33
2: 2:24.6 1:36.4 34
3: 2:21.3 1:34.2 37
Haven´t been doing any sub 1:40 sessions lately, so tried not to overcook it in the first couple of reps.
Then today was my 2k race. Actually I felt like I had more in the tank, and hoped for a sub 6:30 - but ended up with 6:30.4. [Edit: Is actually an SB - was 6:30.8] Thomas Jensen had hoped for sub 6:10 but had to do with a 6:11.5...

I sometimes joke about I should really be on the "Training for 6:30" thread, but I feel I can shave off some secs to the coming Danish (Nordic and European Open) IRC in 3 weeks Happy to see a lot of well-known and unknown faces at the venue today...

Punishment session today - another 5k. Got hard around the half-way point:
5k 17:02.6 1:42.2 30
1k 3:21.6 1:40.8 30
2k 3:24.3 1:42.1 31

4k 3:27.4 1:43.7 30
5k 3:22.5 1:41.2 32
Second fastest 5k from me this season - but still some work to do on the road to sub 6:30...
5k 17:02.6 1:42.2 30

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Totally with you on the 'training for a 6:30' sentiment Erik. 6:30.x is a fine, fine row.
Anyone who can row a sub 17 5k is probably well capable of 6:25 if conditions are right mentally and physically. Perhaps later in the spring when the weather has lifted everyone's mood?
I am still (re) laying my foundations in erg land, I don't expect to be back in top form until March at current rates of progress, but it is going well.
Today's session:
10x300m at 1:31.7 average. Rest was quite long at 2' but I needed it! Will gradually work on lengthening to 8x400 and then 6x500. My lactate tolerance has always been a problem...

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Yes, I agree with you, Andrew, a sub 17 should indicate a sub 6:25 - at least with the right lactate training...

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Good to hear from you, Mat, must be very busy at the moment, and good to see you haven´t lost that many seconds on the 5k - expect you to get sub 17 again soon
Today 3x750m+3´ - done at R26:
1: 2:24.2 1:36.1 26
2: 2:23.3 1:35.5 26
3: 2:21.5 1:34.3 26
Already some improvement compared to 3 days ago...

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Also did some leg press yesterday - and felt it more today than I had expected. So chose some "get it over with" training: 2x1200m+3´ done at R26:

2: 3:55.7 1:38.2 26

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
Brutal r26 sessions Erik
Push session for me yesterday. The 45kg dumbells are now manageable for a set of presses.
Rest day today.....

Re: Training towards a 6:20 2k
You still impress me with those dumbells, Andrew - don´t know how one would even lift a 45kg of the kind from the stack...
Yesterday was training free - not intended... Today first a 5k:
5k 17:05.8 1:42.5 27
1k 3:24.5 1:42.2 26
2k 3:25.5 1:42.7 26
3k 3:27.5 1:43.7 26
4k 3:26.4 1:43.2 28
5k 3:22.1 1:41.0 30
Then 4x333m+3´: 3:56.5 1:28.7 38 [59.8 - 59.6 - 59.0 - 58.1]
