 old age traveller Member 332, 7981 posts | I have not been doing any weights just a bit of rowing in 5 weeks I have transformed from a skinny fat unfit drunken old man into a slighty fitter skinny fat not quite so drunk old man a couple of weeks back I hit 1.44.8 for 500m on the ski erg (faster than Boar) today I did a 2k on the rower 7.23.4 my target was under 7.30 now i'm dreaming of going sub 7 again. (what did Steve Redgrave say?) The pyriamd building begins! | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7981 posts | 2000m 7.20.3 a story behind this... a warm up for a 500 turned into a hard 2k first half 3.45 ( with a close to HD) second half 3.35 if my balls were big enough 7.15 would be achievable. If you have never done a truely max effort 2k you can not understand the FEAR SUB 7 still a goal but at the moment a distant one | ||

Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25597 posts Administrator | I think my very darkest moments (in training/sport) have been during rowing sessions / 2km races and i remember one training session of 4 x `1000m 2r where i had to do all 4 reps under 3:30 , that last 1000m rep i had to drag from hell !! amazing what we can force ourselves to do if we have a target we dont want to miss | ||
