ErgData: store detail data for workouts

ErgData (v1.11, Android, Samsung Galaxy Note 2) does not appear to store information such as stroke count, drive length, drag factor, etc. for workouts; once you exit the current workout, all of that data is gone and is replaced by data for a fictitious workout. The only data that is stored for work...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Nice rowing RLK. You obviously have a penchant for distance. With your frame you should try giving the competition distances a nudge. Thanks. I'm hardly ashamed of my 2K. It would be nice to break 6:30; if I do I do, if I don't I don't. My 6K could also be faster, but that's probably the least inte...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Couple more goodies this week: Tuesday, 6K/20:45.3 (that's the one ranking distance I've never done standalone. Wasn't too bad. Called it subjective 95% effort but that's probably a bit high. My target was below 20:50, preferably below 20:48 (1:44 pace), but I should be able to do closer to 1:43.3 o...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

In my experience the best way to do them is as you suggest with a flat and very deliberate pace with just enough to finish strongly. My internet friend Richard Steventon in the UK though has suggested that for the 1 hour TT you swing from a faster than pace 1k to a slower 1k rather than flat pacing...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Got my HM today -- 77:19.7 (1:49.96), besting my old 77:33.5. Another second or so, as it turns out, and it would have rounded to 1:49.9, but I didn't have anything left. I started off quite a bit slower than last week -- my first 4K was 13.6 seconds slower than last Tuesday. But that let me go hard...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Two more this past week. That's it for the middle distances for now, at least until after the fall challenge. 9/9: 10K/35:18.8 (old: 35:51.8 standalone, 35:44.7 split). Target pace was 1:46; hoped for a bit faster. I was running a bit hot in the middle (1:45.6 pace), on target for 35:12 pace, but I ...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

I must say theses PR's by the old guys are VERY impressive! Must be fun bein' in your 60's and positively trashing the young guys in the gym. Fun when that happens. I just turned 50 early this year, but not a lot of youngsters in the gym can keep up with what I consider to be a relaxed HM pace for ...

I'm an endurance type, pure and simple. I can go for quite a long time, and it's rare that I really hit the wall, but for short bursts of power, I'm not much good.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Some new PR's. Not bad for my second half century. 2K/6:30.7 -- broke my old (6:32.4) PR, but actually think I could have squeezed out some more. My start was a bit soft (1:38) and it wasn't quite the agony I'm used to it being, even though my HR hit 178, which is as high as it goes. Still, sub-6:30...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Some more PRs: 16518/60 on 04/18. Everything clicked nicely, but the first 10 minutes were slow (2646) and the first 30 was 8099. Picked it up a lot after turnover with 2807, 2817, and 2794 (couldn't quite hold on at the end). Trailing 10K was about 35:46, but certainly faster than my standalone of ...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

A bunch more pee arrrs and other interesting pieces * Last 40 minutes of a 50 minute, 11094. Narrowly missed my 30 minute (8423) and probably broke my 10K, but can't be sure. * No PRs, but a wild and crazy 16225 after a dull 7852 first 30. Went absolutely insane in the last 10 minutes. * Last Thursd...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Decided, more or less on the spur of the moment, to do a 2K. Broke my old 6:47.2 with 6:42.4. Started off too slow, had mostly negative splits, wasn't totally zonked at the end but simply couldn't pull any harder. My line: Date Dist Time Pace M/S Watts Cal Type Comments 2013-01-24 2000 6:42.4 1:40.6...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Blasted through my old PR last Thursday -- 16405/60m, 1:49.7 (old was 16304). Second PR for the week. I was mostly at r30, but dropped a bit to r28-29 over the last 10 minutes. Splits were mostly negative, but the last 10 minutes were maybe 5m less than the previous 10. I also pulled PRs for trailin...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Another 10K PR. There's now a Facebook group (Concept2 Logbook) with monthly challenges, and this month it's 10K. Around the end of April, I did a sub-36, but I beat it yesterday with a 35:51.8 (1:47.6) Prior to the 10K, I did 5K at a moderately hard but nothing special 5K as a warmup in 18:32 (1:51...
