 old age traveller Member 332, 7865 posts | Post Edited: 07.05.2021 @ 19:02 PM by jt Super smashing sunday session elevates elderly english ergers (h)eart rate. Today UT2 I have been ducking it of late and was really struggling to get any motivation to do it. I split it into 20 minute chunks to make it more palatable.3x20UT2 5026m 19 135 5002m 19 139 5031m 19 135 Last Night I read Touching the Void (again) Brilliant tale of triumph over adversity. | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7865 posts | Post Edited: 07.05.2021 @ 19:05 PM by jt I seem to have tweaked my left side/lower back (yesterdays contortions painting dormers) which has given me aggro all day, not too bad on the erg But todays 10x45 was a massive mental battle I managed 8 in one go which all things considered I am pretty happy to have done.ERG 5mins 1157m 5mins 1243m 8x45s AN 1MR 1991m 1.30.4 36 up 2M in 2 weeks!!!!! 249m 1.30.3 35 155 250m 1.30.0 36 162 250m 1.30.0 36 168 250m 1.30.0 36 168 249m 1.30.3 35 171 247m 1.31.0 36 171 246m 1.31.4 37 171 250 1.30.0 40 174 I did 2 more 10minutes later 251m 1.29.6 37 161 251m 1.29.6 37 169 I would say I survived rather than failed the session  | ||

 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3367 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | You can see the mental battle unfold from rep 5 onwards. And to do a couple more on top of that shows dedication. | ||

One week to get through then the taper, I am tempted to do a 1500 on `Sunday to hopefully boost my confidence. I just don't want to miss the 4x3 though I guess I could do the 1500 then 3x3. Back a bit better today its one of those where you need to keep moving.

I thought that when I did my 2k, but afterwards there was NO WAY I would have been able to train properly. A max 1500 would be a good replacement session and valuable in the build up I think. | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7865 posts | I will decide on the day, If I do the 1500 it will be at hoped for 2k pace rather than a true TT. But then I think why not just do a 2k?? 8pm Long leg bench 60x10x2 100x10 131.5x6 141.1x1 151.5x1 LLPB 152.5x1 LLPB 130x5 100x20 Everything was creaky, definitely prefer AM for bench. | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7865 posts | JSL, Sam liked Tenet the other 2 look good but are not free on Amazon. Spinach has been very easy to grow, started on the windowsill then planted some out Boy has chomped it straight out of the pot I cut a bit off. I am growing some in Tubs to try to keep pests off.
