OK
Fair enough John - repsect to you guys for doing the short distances...(hesitates before saying this to Slug) but I absolutely dread the short ones! Anything from 500m thru 3000m really does hurt - I have a low pain threshold - need to build up some resilience I guess. I couldn't even VISUALISE the times you pull - never seen anything that fast in real life.
I guess there's an optimum way of doing this 250km.
I haven't found it that's for sure.
Some of my split times this week are poor, around 2:11 - 2:13 as I'm so tired. Had I the full 4 weeks, I would probably have elected to crack it as 25 x 10k.
Doing this much in a week is not to be recommended - getting joint pains, blistering at the end of the spine, fingers stope tiping propaly and eef...ght

[quote="Thomas W-P"]I think that working at 80% maximum for long periods is supposed to be the way to raise your VO2 max.
I believe you're absolutley correct that longish periods holding 80% MHR (UT1/AT boundary) are extremely good for improving aerobic capacity and staying power (mental).

CHEOPS AMENDED
Guys, I've read the comments here and in view of the weather and Mr Sims impending hols and Shell's blown attempt at this I've extended the deadline to the end of September.
This also gives me a chance to do the Roller Coaster first.
I do have a version of this called GIZA (or for Gooner GEEZER). This has more but shorter steps and should suit the power monkeys out there. I'll post it in the autumn.

Uphill to the finish

Hello Gillian
I'm not sure what's happening with yours, here is a copy of the link
http://elm.dynamicducks.com/
What sort of error to you get ?
- Something to do Rails ?
- Something to do 401 ?

Very strange. How about this one: http://elm.dynamicducks.com/teams/listG A Tait wrote:Thanks John, unfortunately it still doesn't work.
I get a standard 'this page cannot be displayed' error each time.
Same problem?

Possibly
There was a posting about this from a guy called Citroen on our old Free Spirits thread on http://www.concept2.co.uk/forum - see if it helps...

I tried adding a new distance challenge to ELM, but kept getting a "Application error (Rails)", is there any way around this ?
Cotroen replied:
If you get that on the ELM site you need to log all the way out and log back in.
I would also try clearing the cache: Tools > Internet Options > Delete Cookies, Delete Files, History - kill everything - cos you never know what's left lying around!!! Bit extreme, but I get desparate sometimes!

Check the URL again
Gillian,
The ELM site starts "elm" not "www" - just check that, as it's an odd one:
elm.dynamicducks.com
