Concept2 Forum

for me the it is amazing how knee friendly the erg is. Mine are pretty advanced OA but still allow 50k a week and maybe a 7:15 2k at current fitness levels. Top end power really does go first though

welcome to all the newcomers - great work
terry and I did the 6344 IRL tonite got it done but not great of course
We will do the ctc on sunday hopefully and hopefully lizh too (and Kathleen will have one I suspect)

What I’ve always done because I don’t really have any reference to compare to is I do the 500m:1 minute option. I used to be a 400/800m runner a lifetime ago so it felt like something familiar. A friend said stay under 2 mins per and try to do 10 sets and so that’s what I’ve done almost every time ...

Anyone in touch with Lindsay Hay recently? Last post 11/5. No blabbermouth but very regular poster to training, weight loss, FF pages. Not the sort to go walkabout. hi jack and thanks for missing me! Steve Ockerby sent me a RUOK? text this morning after seeing your post. I have been MIA for over we...

Well things have been tough!
Missed training 6 out of last 9 days which is really messing with my head (and fitness) right now

Thanks mate as well as you Stu I’m hoping it’s just the weather. I’m a Brit too so anything over 20 hot for me even though I’ve lived here 11 years. I’ll plough through the 2km tomorrow and hope I finish before I self combust. Then might work on base building for the next few months. I do feel that...

Thanks for the reply. Is there any sort of protocol for joining a team? I am competitive, but that’s not the reason for me wanting to join a team at all. I just think it would be good to chat with guys, get involved in some friendly comps, banter and challenges and would help motivate me to improve...

Rocket Roy Brook became a world champion and world record holder with Paul as his coach. And so did Dennis Hastings. I wish Paul Smith was still on the forum offering good advice. The other guy I remember Rick was an Irish guy Jonathan Davis (40+lwt) I think was his name who embraced the whole thin...

13year old boy, 104 lb , 5 ft 2 in and I row a 10 min 2k My main goal was in 2 years to get a 6:20 2k hearing it’s a holy grail but I don’t even know if this is even possible and if so how would I get to my goal like that. It is nice to have goals but they have to be realistic and achievable and it...

These times are astonishing. Must be WRs, or close to?
