Nice one Rich. It's a long time sitting on the rower isn't it? How did you find it? (I bottled the Solstice thing and went out on my bike!) |

Certainly is, Nellers! I can see why they sell cushioned pads... Couple of short breaks to stretch my back out, but otherwise was good to just settle into a pace. I suspect I may have been ok starting out a little quicker - had a bit left to speed up at the end and didn’t feel quite as destroyed afterwards as a 2k effort seems to.

Its a different kind of destroyed. After a 2k I can't do stairs but I'm usually OK 24 hours later. After a hard Half I'm generally not too bad immediately but the next day is the problem! Plan has a steady state 18km for me in the morning. Although I've missed the challenge I'm quite tempted to give a Half another go. What's the worst thing that can happen? |

I am.in awe of you lot and all that you do. After a nice start the rowing machine went AWOL for a few weeks due to mum being in hospital and then myself being in. Just went back on it for the first time in a while tonight and enjoyed it. Will sort out a training plan to print off tomorrow to give me something to focus on 😁 |

We all started small and built up Mandy. There's nothing to be in awe of. You can get there too given the time and the work. (but thank you.) |

Team GB rower Tom George has set a new British record for 2k at 5:39.6 Only the 10th person ever to go under 5:40. |

Morning. Welcome back to MM. I hope you're recovered and it wasn't serious or catching. Just start out gradually, with plenty of variety. You don't have to spend hours on the machine like us obsessives  4 x 15 minutes done, with 2-min breaks. Notional marathon, then 10k, then half mara, then mara again paces. Plan said 4 x 20 minutes but I haven't got the time or inclination for that much. |
