what training have free spirits been doing today?

Spider, I think you mean Ian! I think that is a great OCD achievement. For the total to be 6770 would seem to be pushing obsession to absurdity! BUt better check with Plummy the OCD aficionado!

Yes it is infuriating how the PM sums the intervals. How can it reduce the total of 5 intervals by 5M? I think this shows that different rounding rules are used. Even if each was 1353.01 and rounded up. This would give 6765.05 which is only 6765 if this is not automatically rounded up! I haven't had this on my PM3 for single times/intervals, but the problem is even worse when adding intervals. I usually use 15' r0 for LSDs. 6 intervals are often 13m less than the totals given per interval. This isn't possible with any rounding. I can only think that something strange happens on the changeovers. There is a gap if you are not accelerating the handle at the change that is not adjusted if you start shortly after (if you wait a few secs, it restarts wit that time knocked off the interval, I don't think that you get any "credit" for the spinning flywheel during the gap). I wonder whether conversely you are credited in the interval with the distance travelled while it reset the clock, but that this is omitted from the cumulative total. If anyone has any better theories or knowledge, would like to hear!

Still around and still rowing. Just not much point posting anymore. Just getting as fit as I can for my holidays at the end of August. Loosing weight and doing loads of cardio. Which involves all the machines in the gym. Arm bike, ski erg, bike, cross trainer and rowing machine. Still doing intervals of different lengths with 1min rest . Just stopping when I get 5k done. Plus the weights are between 12-15 reps.

Always leave the gym wet through.

Enjoy your training guys. I have been reading it when I get the chance.

Very nicely controlled negative split HM

Colin - it would be lovely to see you here again sometime… seems like another lifetime when you stayed with us Nice rowing session, but I’ve a feeling the Crit ride made you sweat more

Spider - I feel your pain… perfect splits and then you fall victim to the vagaries of Concept 2 rounding

Good to hear from you Jason - as long as you keep punishing the cardio machines, moving bits of metal around the gym and coming out wet then you must be doing something right

30’ free rate for me today, but decided to keep it controlled - staying at around R24 and just increasing as I negatively split. Happy with that

Great to hear from you Jason. Personally I need the indulgence of posting to keep me on the metal mistress, congratulations for keeping it going, continuing without a tangible goal is a whole different issue.

Mat, that is impressive rowing, the more so that it felt controlled.

That's another very impressive half hour Mat

The HR creep towards the end should have been enough of a nudge to slow the pace but I'm off next week....
