evening folks. Didn't do much on the rower last year so using the Row31 to get back in the swing of it. Helped by a hip niggle that means running is no fun. was appalled by only 4475m in 20 minutes, but todays 10 x 1 min felt progressively stronger. the last time I tried this I went off way to quick and couldn't even hold 2:00/500 today I finished with something around 1:43, average I'm guessing 1:55 I'm on a waterpower so the data is a bit naff as I'm not willing to upgrade the console |

Hi MK. Is "Row31" one of these here row every day for a month challenge things? That's a tough one but if you can stick with it you'll feel the benefit when you come out the other side. 1:55 average is pretty swift for "didn't do much on the rower last year". Well done. |

Nice one @Fenners-Reborn ! That's getting a shift on. I'd noticed you were clocking up your daily 5ks @Craggy . That's going to be having a bit of an impact I would think. I'm sticking to my 4 per week plan just building slowly. I'm definitely seeing the improvement week on week at the mo, and in a few weeks I'll be adding in some regular threshold stuff which, although hard work, always has the desired effect. |

@Nellers yeah daily rowing gets me fit, I find a rest day tends to turn into 2, 3 or 4 rest days - it used to be the same when I was running, so active rest days (3-4 mile easy) worked best for me. Always good when you're in shape to add some threshold work, as you say it's hard work but very satisfying! Your 4 days per week works well for you and you row a similar amount of metres in 4 days as I do in 7 🤣 |

Well spotted, Muttley. Looks like your covid won't require a trip to Barnard Castle to test your eyes then.
