Happy to be on board! Yes, Nick is right. My first post had to be approved, but once approved was down where I first posted it so a little lost, yes!JohnAd wrote:
Welcome Nick (is that right), the more the merrier. I think your introduction post might have got a bit lost, this thread is moving fast, but it is good to be doing it with others and there are few doing the BPP to share war stories with, it also seems to help posting the results publicly.
Thanks for such a comprehensive answer. I had a read through again of what Dean said above. Keeping the drive the same makes sense. And I fear you may be right about overly leaning back in the BPP W1D2 6x500m. The 4x750m felt harder at the time, but I don't feel as sore today (day after) as I did last week. Clearly my cardiovascular system needs to catch up a bit so 28 - 30 rating doesn't feel so foreign. Would love to get a heart rate monitor to find out how what's going on there, though as its a gym machine I'm using I doubt I could connect it up to the PM4.
As a side note, hopefully without sounding too arrogant, I now seem to know more about the rowing machine than any of my gym's staff. "It actually has a memory?", "What's a drag factor?", "so you don't just go hell for leather on level 10?"
Ok, I made that last one up. But not the first two!
, in the future rowing strapless might help with technique, maybe try it for warms ups and cool downs to start off with.
usually finding the lever not set to 10 means that nobody has used it since I was last there
