Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thanks Muttley, my 1m T-shirt fitted well and seemed to be decent quality, it's kept its shape. Mind you mine was only 2019, yours would have been 10+ years ago!?

10k per day, six days a week for half a year and you're at 15 mill in 15 years 😉😁

Presented like that, Craggy, it looks almost doable :-0 An hour or so a day including setting up and packing up after.

I am gravitating towards longer and slower stuff these days, as cardio supplement for the running. Maybe 16 million by 16 years .... ?

Haha it does sound doable but things rarely go to plan as we all know within this group.
16 mill in 16 years sounds good! I like the longer slower stuff myself these days 😁

Annoying how quickly form deteriorates during a layoff. I was either out of action or on greatly reduced duties for about a month. My usual calculation is twice the layoff duration to regain 90% of where you were before, and then one more to squeeze out that last 10%. Which would mean I should be at the 90% level by the end of the year ... seems about right. And that's the NY resolution sorted.

This morning's workout was lifted from Rowalong. 40 minutes, start at 2k+25 and every 4 minutes take 2 secs off, to finish on 2k+9.

Tougher than it looks!

(I had a little left at the end so the final minute was at 2k+7, but that's showboating)

That does sound like a good session, Muttley. 40 minutes, no breaks, pace building. You're going to be sweating by the end!

I've got back into a bit of a rhythm again. Trying to get 3 sessions per week done, all rate based: short intervals, long intervals, tempo pieces. Seems to be sustainable with the other stuff I'm doing.

Also, while I'm here, it might be interesting to follow this on YouTube for a while. Cam Buchan, elite rower formerly with the GB squad, sharing his training with "an average gym-goer" for the the week.

Day 1: 10 x 10 deadlifts at a weight that's heavy, followed by 16km steady row, followed by an hour steady bike. Good luck with that then!

I went to the gym tonight and braved a 2k row. It was slow but felt hard 😂 9mins 19secs. It's a starting point. I'm doing it as a test which I will redo in 8 weeks time so hoping to get a bit better 🤞
Also as part of the testing is a 30 secs max echo bike and a 5k run which also be retested in 8 weeks but is t of much interest on this thread. I'm following a programme from wodprep which is crossfit based. I really found the dark horse rowing YouTube videos helpful for technique though 😊

Is the 8 week training block mainly cardio or is it an all-round CrossFit programme leading up to the retest? How much rowing is there in it? I'll certainly be curious to see how that works for you.

(And I've never had a go on an echo bike/assault bike but I really want to. That's the downside of training in my shed rather than a gym or CrossFit box.)
