Nice! Edging forward while enjoying it is a good combination.

A DNF for me this morning. The RowAlong randomizer gave me a mid tier session of 5 x 8 minutes 26 spm 2k+10, 2-min rests. The quads were talking to me during the third rep and protesting during the fourth, when I began to struggle and the stroke rate was creeping up. Average pace was on target though, despite that. Maybe I should have manned up and gone for the fifth rep but I felt discretion was the better part of valour. And I was a tad wobbly when I got up off the machine. But still a decent workout when all's said and done. No harm done. Onwards and upwards. |

If it feels like you'd done enough, Muttley, you probably had. Sounds like a big one with 5 x 8 minutes too. That's 40 minutes at speed, which feels like a lot. Another 3 x 10 min at r18 again this evening. I'm just clocking up the strokes and seeing where they take me. Nowhere. They take me nowhere. It's a rowing machine. It doesn't move does it? Nowhere. Hey, does anyone know what to do with an existential crisis because I seem to be having one I don't want.

@Nellers You need to join forces with @EarlyRiser on the Arms Like Garth thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/arms-like-garth---a-weight-training-wire-62488/72 (also having an existential crisis about going nowhere )

I got nowhere again tonight for 7km (split at 2 x 15 min at r18). Winter has definitely arrived at the South Essex Rowing and Rehab Centre ;-). Yesterday I was rowing in a vest. Tonight it was a long sleeved thermal. 1c in the shed. Chilly! |

Nice progress, Nellers. You’ve reminded me to dig out my layers for my row in the garage tonight! But I shouldn’t complain because I had to do all my rowing outside in the back yard before we moved house. That was chilly! |

Storm Bert is here and it's wild and windy with horizontal rain. I'm not going for a run in that and probably won't tomorrow either, and that is why I have the erg. A gentle 10k at UT2 this morning, keeping myself toasty warm while the rain streams down the windows.

4 x 10 min at r18 this morning as the wind whistled around the shed and Bert tried to get in. After a couple of days of sub-zero overnight it was 14c in the shed today and I'm back in my vest. |

Looking at the monthly chart, even with a dodgy back Nellers is faster than me ... |
