sallykate Nov 2018 8:03pm, 15 Nov 2018 5,783 posts	Quote Pin sallykate Muttley a few years ago I saw 30s drop from my running pace after a month of regular rowing. I printed off the Pete Plan today. Just saying.
Nellers Nov 2018 9:15pm, 15 Nov 2018 33,380 posts	Quote Pin Nellers “Easy” 10k tonight. Are any rows actually easy? I finished it soaked in sweat despite keeping he, rage and pace where they should be for “easy”.
Jef Nov 2018 12:20pm, 16 Nov 2018 40 posts	Quote Pin Jef SK, I like that sort of advance in time ! Nellers, I think they all make you sweat 🙂 the real difference is how long it wipes you out for. Talking of which, failed to get the row in yesterday as a 6km run effort was a bit too threshold and did me in for the day. Row will now be this afternoon ... I hope.
sinj999 Nov 2018 12:33pm, 16 Nov 2018 851 posts	Quote Pin sinj999 I plan on having another go at this months C2CTC tonight, which is: Row 11 reps of 111 metres with 1 minute rest, free drag, free rating. First rep from a standing start, next 10 as you like. I had a go last week and managed an average 1:32.1/500m across the 11 reps. Hoping to get this below 1:30 either tonight or at least before the month is up. Does anyone know of any guidleines/plans out there that incorporate rowing into a running training plan? Any guidelines on substituting rowing with running in an existing plan. I find rowing much easier on the achilles.

Mouseytongue Nov 2018 12:53pm, 16 Nov 2018 2,648 posts	Quote Pin Mouseytongue That's pretty damn quick, sinj - best of luck with the 1:30 target.
Nellers Nov 2018 1:14pm, 16 Nov 2018 33,382 posts	Quote Pin Nellers True enough Jef. I feel fine today. Sinj, that's a tough session at that pace mate. Well done! Mousey, L3 from Wolverine shouldn't be quicker than 2k pace. If you're managing that you need to retest. I'll fetch a bucket.

Muttley Nov 2018 3:46pm, 16 Nov 2018 223 posts	Quote Pin Muttley 1000m warmup then 3 x 2000m with 4-min rests. I decided to see what I could do on the final rep. Plan was to hold 2:02 until 1500m and then hammer it in the final 500m. Didn't quite work out that way, I faded a bit towards the end. But not too disheartened by 8:08.5. The other two reps were comfortable enough at 2:06.
