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!

I did my first proper 'row training session' yesterday. It was 6 x 500m @1-2secs off 2k pace with 2 mins rest between sets.
2k pace was 2m20 but somehow managed to do all sets @2m14/2m15. All consistent paces and didn't feel too hard. I actually miscounted and thought I needed to do another round but the rower didn't give me the distance when I started again. Soon realised I was finished and felt a bit gutted 😂

Well done EB! Sounds like a good session. Love the final comment!

I beat my 2021 2k time yesterday, but went for a fly-and-die, and took a solid 0.1s off my time from a couple of weeks ago. Not wise.

We’ve all been there Andy! It’s a lesson best learned by giving it a try and seeing/ feeling the effects!

Nice session EB, love that you felt gutted when you raised the session was over😁

Good work Andy, think that tells you that you can manage a bit faster with a more conservative start👍

Better to finish a session being gutted that it's over than thinking "thank God, not doing that again!"

And ah yes, fly and die followed by crash and burn -- been there, done that, it's a learning experience :-)

After a couple of days skiving, back in the saddle this morning for a lazy 1 hour-ish at UT2, nice and slow, old-time ska and rocksteady in the headphones, a pleasant way to spend a morning.

Nice one Muttley (and good session EB. Don't know how I missed that earlier.).

I've had a few days rest after tweaking something in my back on Tuesday picking stuff up and putting it down again. Managed a pain free run this morning so I'm going to give the rower a try tomorrow (probably 30 r18) and see how things go.

Oh, my hamstrings! After a better balanced (but 2s slower) 2k, I went for a longer 10k row this afternoon. Kept it fun with 10 strong strokes every 500m, and then added 5 more of those every 250m in between...

Mostly because I was getting bored, but also because the last 2k really hurt, with screaming hamstrings, so making it harder was a good distraction. Weights session to finish, next...

Watch that back Nellars.
