Well done Dan and Graham.

Dan, you are now on board (Gold star for the 2 million on the nose). Graham, you jumped a couple of places.

Fine work guys.

Thank you Mr Plum.

Do you mean that I can use this record as a target as well?

Okay, show me! I can only show you a few 22,222,222m. Time to celebrate? October 8, 2021 - AND! I descended into the underworld - not with the number 11,111,111m - but it was prophesied that I would reach that exact number - and on that day I would know the underworld. Now it's 22,222,222m - and the only mantra I hear over and over again is: Don't look back. Remember Orpheus. Row on! AND! RideOn!

Some of the numbers on here are incredible/inspirational (both in terms of monthly accumulation, e.g. near top of fall challenge table, and particularly in term of the lifetime/year-on-year meters).

Well I decided to do a slightly "contrived" workout today (see "what training have free spirits been doing today?" thread), as the necessary distance was about perfect for a long-ish workout. This meant that I got this on the nose (see attached image)...

The interesting/satisfying thing about endurance training/"developing your engine" (i.e. work capacity) is that distances/meterage that seemed formidable in the past become quite comfortable. I'm slowly developing with rowing what I used to have with cycling (particularly 2016-2019), though I'm obviously not going to get into a habit of doing 6 hour indoor rows (and arguably little benefit unless you're specifically training for an ultra-event), which is a relatively standard "long" weekend/cafe-stop type outdoor ride (though I'd say a ~3 hour erg row is probably pretty close in effort to a typical 6 hour outdoor bike ride when you factor in freewheeling and greater difficulty/inefficiency (and therefore higher training effect) of rowing). But I could get to a point where say a marathon distance row of 42km is almost "standard" as a long effort at a weekend. Not at that point yet though. Judging by the amazing monthly metres some people on here log, though, such distances must be very comfortable/routine for them... Impressive at any pace whatsoever. :)

Thanks ALan, with the metres you are doing I expect to see you on here again soon (although 3 weeks after your previous million is a bit soon)!

Thanks for the updates and well done to everyone for their continued efforts pushing (or pulling) out the metres. Spreadsheet all updated now.

One question for those who may know better. Assuming those with Forum names (J-Dog, ArenT etc) have formal names, is there a place where these can easily be looked up?

Welcome back from your hollies Plummy. Thanks for the update. Not sure the link is working as the lifetime board seems to have regressed a couple of years.

Dave, you could cross check with the ctc where people usually use their formal name. Arent for example is Aren Tyr in real life :D

I've ticked past the 7 million mark since I got back to rowing again. Nowhere near as awesome as most of you guys; but I'm still a teeny bit proud of myself.
