Boar said:I do !! A couple years ago I averaged 190 miles a week for the entire year !! there are some nice coutry lanes close to Leyland although at the moment im mainly just commuting

Just been looking into the world championships and there is no chance of me qualifying - only the top 2 or 3 from each country and a total of 20 places per age group , so atleast I know and can get on with other comps.

(I am currently ranked 30th with 9 of them being British)


How will it pan out when you crack the half ton?

i havnt entered the 500m although I might do , although I have found a race in feb next year that I could aim for and be able to put in some decent training and get a nice PB - the Canadian champs (5 hours behind) unless the English champs go ahead - usually in Jan , they may offer an online race

Row and Ski session

  • 1000m warm up
  • 2 x 1000m 2r @ sub 7 pace
  • 2000m cool down
  • 500m ski erg warm up
  • 1000m skierg 3:47.0
  • 1000m skierg cool down


the 2 x 1000m was pretty hard , but I was never going to stop ..... if i dont hit a PB at the British I will just power thru and nail one some other time.

the 1000m ski erg was for the 2020 world sprints ....unfortunatley it starts tomorrow !!

Super smashing lovely, Quads look ace.

Would you mind blanking a digit from my phone number?

Every now and then I get a call from someone wanting me to make one of my legendary logs but that part of my life is over.

Maybe £5k would bring about a change of heart.

I do enjoy a good comp to aim my training at Jon !

With the online comps being more and more regular I am hoping I can now have much more consistent training
