So what's your present 2k time at the moment or have I missed something?

PS If your doing 10mins at 1.45 then forget 2k at 1.42, you should be looking at a lot quicker than that!

C2 Training Programme - Help

Hi all, My girlfriend and are are using the C2 interactive training programme that we've adapted to distance rather than time so essentially it's the same thing. We're both training for the GBs in Nov and are now a good half way through the 26 week programme. Having recently tested we'd not made a h...

Having your legs spread when you start the drive will cause you problems. Think of a straight line for the drive through your legs, torso and back where all the force is being driven. If you'r legs are spread this force is going to be transferred laterally and muscles in your upper legs, hips, back ...

Yep, guess that's going to be the way to go.

However seems crazy that Concept can't add this as a function on the PM4 when it's something they promote in their training programme.

Plus it's nice to see an interval training session grouped in the data log.

Rant over :D

I agree with some of the sentiment, it's often best to let people get on with it, however sometimes it's very hard to not say something. I'm a qualified Concept trainer and I've seen instructors at my gym telling people that their technique is "perfect" when there are clearly 2 or 3 significant faul...

Not sure I follow your comments, I'm not concerned about the work rate within the workout it's the precise requirements for the rest period that I'm after. The Concept training guide is very precise about the rest period based on heart rate; Full recovery between intervals can be considered as taken...

Interval training on heart monitor

Hi all first post, so go easy with me :-) I'm on a 26 week training programme based on the Concept online programme (converted to distances rather than times), for the sprints I want to set the intervals for a recovering heart rate of 2 x rest rate to then go again. Obviously this is going to be var...
