Well, a careful 20 minutes at UT1 and the calf seems not overly troubled. A good reminder to keep the feet as flat as poss for the drive. I shall proceed with caution.

Nice progress SPR you'll sun be cracking the 7k barrier!
Blimey Andy nice work, I love how you can just rock up and row a fast marathon without really training for it. Didn't you run a marathon last week too?
Good news Muttley!

Great news Muttley- take care though. Good point about not over reaching for the catch.
No running recently for me SPR, just walking (training log updated, but it was still an 11 hour hike).
Need to get a decent HM SB sorted next when I get home.

Outside working again this week. Yesterday evening's office at 10pm was quite busy...
Right now, I'm here (no rowing again)

I'm guessing that's the north of Scotland ...?
Just doing some UT2 yesterday and some UT1 today to keep ticking over. Calf seems untroubled, fortunately. Might try something a little livelier in a day or two.

6996m today FFS, lol. That's with the end of row boat drift as well.
My own fault as bit more effort earlier would have meant the sub 2 500 pace for the last two mins would have been enough.

Haha, live how you're getting into the rowing pacing games SPR. Next time...
That's the Cairngorms behind Aviemore, Muttley. First photo was camping above 3000ft. The snow was solid in the morning, even for kicking in steps, so I went around it. Off to the far north west tomorrow, so I'd better row this afternoon, before four days away.
Did a C2 FB page challenge yesterday. 6 x 500 metre intervals. Totally went fir it on the first rep (1:37), but got a SB, then died on the second one. 3-6 had proper paving for a 1:44.4 /500m average. Will have a more sensible go in a week or two. Oh, and also did a parkrun yesterday. Not suffering too much today from that.
Picture time, from last Sunday back when the weather was nice.

The good thing is currently I'm always faster in the last 10 than the first 20 so I can use the pace from the previous session as a benchmark. I'll get to a point where I have to just repeat the previous session strategy eventually. Today each 10 mins was faster than the previous so a pretty strong row.
Those are some good 500s andy, I'd hate to be dead after the first of six though. Even one before the end makes the last one horrible from my 5 x 1000 experience.
I may be at a point where I could reattempt that session or maybe try that 500m one. What's the recovery on that?

Steady improvement with each set is a good way to go. But sometimes it's useful to go for a sufferfsst just as a reminder of what not to do. And why not.
No idea about recovery time! Maybe someone with more experience could advise. All I know is that I need to have a quiet day or two before cranking it up again.
One interesting debate is on how high to set the drag factor for a sprint effort: 100m or one minute... maybe 500m too. I'm pretty sure it's the only way I can get a really fast split time, but once I head over that cliff into the red zone, there's no coming back.

I meant the recovery between sets of 500. Useful reminder that that type of session can beat the body up though.
