Well, my friend, I would settle for 250s or 1 minutes for the short stuff as 100s @drags of 200 done on a regular basis IMO are too risky with regard to injury. Got ma best erg phase finished with an injury. Important to stay healthy as each restart is a mess.

30r20 @ 1:59ish. Weights afterwards.

I used to use gloves but with the right grip and hardened skin they do more harm than good. To me anyway.

If the 5k @ 2:13.2 was a 95%-effort your short-term goals are realisic and probably good to go for negative splitting. Good luck!

Great work so far Smee. With regard to bad feelings due to comparisions between now and earlier proficiency on the erg I have the same problem as you have. I started on the erg at the end of season 2014/2015 and got really into it in season 2015/2016 with almost 3mm total and a massive improvement o...

After only 500k this season I decided to go for the crazy bear challenge in order to have an anchor point to try to build up that old engine again. Managed 5HMs since 12th of November, #6 scheduled for tonight.

Awesome stuff, Glenn, glad to see that you are still at it!

in Addition what was mentioned by the others there also might be a lingering infection that your body has to deal with. You might want to do a bloodwork check to rule that out.

Indeed, Glenn....

Feel more wasted than I thought after the marathon. Yesterday a slow 1hr, followed by another one today. Engine keeps to start the dying-process after 20min or so.

Vacation on the beach - definetely swimming. And as a reward more moisture to be inserted inside the body afterwards. A week is at the edge of being noticed in training (IMO) but a couple of hard 1hr-swims are going to help with that

Hi, I just chime in with my experience: I did 3 marathons so far, the first one just to do one, a second one which is a PB in my signature line (season 2016). For the first one I prepped by doing HMs and a couple of 6x5ks but still had fairly bad trouble with all kinds of aches. The second one hurt ...

Boom. Congrats Shawn Baker to a stonking WR! Don´t know how such power can be produced and held for 500m.

Utilized 2 day round trip to different Locations as a taper to go for a marathon today. Target was a 2:10-average which I was able to meet including two short breaks for energy gel, half a banana and a sip at the 21k and the 32k-markers. Ready to fall into my bed now.

Probably not enough work for the luxurious 5' rests. r27 next. We shall see. Going to knock off 2K @ r25 first. Baby steps.

Great work there Glenn!
