Getting into a good daily schedule is harder than one would think, work gets in the way. Currently rowing 5000m every other day. I'm aligning my schedule so I have time everyday. Hoping to step up Bove 5000m this weekend.

Windex.

One thing to consider is where/how will you listen to music, or grab your water bottle. I like the E for the sitting height as it is easy to get into my shoes, but without a cup holder the D makes it far easier to reach a bottle of water sitting on the floor.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! There are plenty of books and experts regarding "how to improve" but very few sound words regarding "how to initiate" without "over cooking and causing damage. I'l try to stick to 5000m until Sunday, Sunday I can push to "spent" and then take a nap. Thanks again

5000m in 24:15:5 with heart rate ave of 144 - I like it!

You are correct, I'm just being overly cautious.

Part if this ramp up is a clearing of the lungs - the strength in my muscles can far exceed the capabilities of my lungs. Baby steps are good thing right now, I'll kick it up once my body has gone through the adjustment.

Thanks

Working my way into a good routine:

Day 01 was 1500m
Day 02 was 2500m
Day 03 was 2500m
Day 04 was 4000m in twenty minutes

Hoping to make 5000m within thirty minutes in the next few days, then hold that for about a week.

Feels all good so far.

I think I joined the team, just starting! On the launch pad so to speak.

Now logging online, 1500m tonight was a casual initiation to my heart rate, max of 152 is good for now.

It arrived! Some assembly required, two screws of the wrong length but i'm certain we can figure that one out. I like the heart rate monitor, very cool.

So I start tomorrow.

Core objective is to monitor calories consumed and work up the calories burned by building up to 12k per day six days a week.

I am now walking on Birkenstock Sandals and Inserts for my hiking boots - they feel weird but feel oh so good for the pain relief. Soaking and stretching my feet and calves both morning and night is making a world of difference for me. Your results may very. C2 being delivered a week from today, hop...

Same thing here, I got frustrated with the flakes on c..list.org and bought directly from C2. Model E inbound to Seattle WA.

Corkster, very promising to read about your accomplishments - congrats and keep up the good work!

Every time I move forward on a purchase the pattern is the same, research, test, more research - then buy. I had the opportunity to use a Model D PM3 in my CrossFit gym, it rocks and is rock solid. I'm 6'4" and 230+. As I was researching for purchase I decided I wanted the PM4 because I'm pushing 50...

Find a CrossFit gym that can provide you with access to a C2 at your vacation destination - worth a few calls.
