Yes, Peter, I also struggle on iOS devices, both iPhone and iPad. Looks like the fields that normally open the drop-down selections don’t work with the latest Safari browser.

I was on a Windows laptop so didn't notice.

But, I did notice one thing. I hate sprinty stuff... especially repeated sprints. :lol:

A some what better performance this month. Fitted in early in a week I got the normal training done early so had a crack.

19.45.7 or av 2.02.8 - happy with that.

or alternatively each 1609 took this long
6.38.1
6.35.2
6.32.4

I didn't feel that these were "sprinty" at all as they seemed to go on forever :cry:

Going to have to agree with Dave here - it felt more like a long slog than a sprint.
Set the DF to my training level - 300, which in retrospect was too high for this sort of interval workout.
At least I managed to beat my 2:00 ave goal, and probably made Erik have another go :lol: :lol:

Times were :

Leg 1 - 6:26.9 spm 26
Leg 2 - 6:22.6 spm 26
Leg 3 - 6:22.2 spm 27

Total 19:10.6

True, and fair enough. I'm usually doing something 30+ minutes when on the rower these days, so anything 2K or less feels much more sprinty than I'm used to.

Deceptively long intervals this month! :?

Happy with my starter for 10 though. Planned to simply go sub 1:50, but managed a 1:48.5 average pace (1:48.5, 1:48.8, 1:48.2) :fsgrin:

Hoping that as the training intensity picks up a bit and with a regular 3 session pw on the erg I can improve a little by month end :wink:

Good spot Erik - leg 1 was in fact 6:25.8 - maybe I did get more brain damage than I thought 😄😳

Well done on those 12 seconds improvement Erik =D> That will give Paul something to think about :D

I had my fourth go at this last night. My previous effort was 18:02.6 / 1:52.1, so exactly seven seconds behind boat FS I and a certain Mr. Tako :D So the target pace was set :twisted: and this is how it went:

This was no fun at all I can tell you, especially the final rep was ugly. But I am very happy with my - certainly short lived - seat in boat FS I. I still can't believe I made it and share a boat with Mat while I'm writing this, so I'm enjoying it while it lasts (e.g. until Tako, Fred, Steve, Crushy etc. have a serious go :lol: ).

Great efforts so far ^O^ :!: Peter: strong negative split ! =D>

i was just thinking of skipping this month, it's a workout i don't really like to do.... but, after having a mile run effort (5:25 on a treadmill - you are faster on a treadmill than outdoors), I had this idea: pace all intervals like the mile run.... i guess at least the last one will be a fly and die! :twisted:

Congratulations Peter! Great effort!
Happy to be of service.

No worries, I won’t have another go, as it doesn’t fit my training plan. Was happy enough to get an okay score in without being told off by my coach Image

Had my bash today.
Still feeling the effects of covid with a chesty cold, so knew Peter and Tako were out of reach. Next target was Fred and 1:53 seemed a good strong target to go for...
1 - 1:52.7/26/168 hard work, but despite the high hr it actually felt ok
2 - 1:52,6/26/174 ah, quite a bit harder and hr now having an effect
3 - 1:53.7/26/178 first 600 was on target, but I had to drop back to 1:58 or so. Managed to quicken a little in final 300, which resulted in pipping Fred by leas than 1s. Sorry Fred.
