 the Ergbreaker Member 19, 862 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 260590.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | It feels quite reminiscent of starting road cycling when I was 13. I remember starting my first training rides and averaging 15-16mph on my Claud Butler road bike, but within 18-24 months I was up to averaging 21-25mph over the same distances and courses. I think it'll just be a case of practice and building my fitness up. I really am very unfit at the moment!  I'm quite encouraged that I still had enough in the tank for a 1:35 final 500m, but maybe it just means that I paced it completely wrong! I'll do another 5000m row next week and see if I can get it under 18 min. If I hold a 1:48 pace for the first 4500m and 1:35 for the final 500m, that would translate to 17:47. I appreciate the encouragement on this chaps - it's nice to do something that gets my competitive juices going. | ||

 Hamstrings feel activated. Member 1107, 6964 posts SQ 220, BP 152.5, DL 252.5625.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Mate you defo have huge potential. If I were you I’d be getting a coach like Eddie Fletcher. You could do massive things on the erg. Best of luck with it. | ||

Keep doing that, knowing that as long as you can manage a 1:35 last 500 it means you could have gone a bit faster on the preceding 4500. You'll be sub 17:30 in no time. Once you no longer have a mega sprint finish in you, the real work begins. But I suspect you'll be nearer 17:00 by then. | ||

Last year I managed to get within 90-95% of most of my lifetime PBs after a solid 5 months of focused training. Right this moment I'm probably closer to 80-85%. Improving my 2k would be a big challenge, improving my 500m/100m seems unlikely unless I bulk back up to 100+. A few are soft and I could beat them if I set my mind to it (30', 60', HM). Improving my marathon and 100km would just be a matter of sitting down and doing it, which I'd rather not. | ||

 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14379 posts | I'm hoping that when I see my coach he can point out something obvious I'm doing badly wrong and I get good gainz. Other than that I'll get settled at the bottom of the lists. It's all very exciting | ||

Set the footrests a notch higher for sprints, it helps keep the leg drive horizontal. | ||
