buggered if I know. Just thinking how much better you'll feel afterwards was what got me through this! Thinking its only 20 fucking minutes you plonker, just do it and get it over with!!<br />
<br />
Other than that, no idea - anyone else got some training blues solutions...? Start a new thread if you do please :happy: -
Son you are seriously training the bloody house down!! Go fella<br />
<br />
I must admit, i was really luke warm about putting your eating / drinking / exercise / results on here for all to see, but it does keep you motivated and responsible!! -
Broke the trusty mountain bike out and rode out to some bush tracks, and proceded to run/walk/stagger two laps of this circuit (there are dozens that you could make with all the mt bike trails there are). Pretty much climb a hill up one track, and down another track. Two laps took 27 minutes, plus the 12 or sominutes there and back, total of 39 minutes.<br />
<br />
Will get three laps in next time, and then start knocking time off, hoperfuly!<br />
<br />
Dodgy old ankles not enjoy it too much though - rolled left ankle, but only a 'front row tweak' - about 400 metres on forestry road with shingle on it the size of dinner plates and down, soplenty od scope to hurt yourself!!<br />
<br />
All in all though, good fun and a nice change. -

Damn that's fast. I'm still a couple of seconds over 20min -
Saturday morning:<br />
<br />
30 minute row 8008 metres.<br />
Weights:Â shoulders / arms.<br />
<br />
Dululth - I have rowed over 5 million metres on my concept2 log now, I am sure once you hit your first million you'll be dropping your times below the 20 minute mark!! -
Sunday, nothing, Saturday wedding of JP and Mokey, so a few beers and planty of nice foodÂ
<br />
<br />
Monday lunch row: 5000m 17:57.7 Give it a half decent nudge, but still came up short of PB, but reckon once I get another week or two training under belt, will knock 17:43 off with room to spare... -
morning row. 20 minutes 5240 metres.<br />
<br />
Rowing for a time and seeing how far I can go, instead of setting a distance and seeing what time I can get for it, if that makes sense. Nice for a change, seeing the metres going up instead of counting down!!<br />
<br />
Evening row. 20 minutes 5236 metres.<br />
<br />
Willie Weka visiting too, can vouch for him training the house down, by the way he can't walk thanks to two calf muscles that are on strike after yesterdays workouts. Trying not to laugh at the poor bugger, but really, it's quite funny. and have noticed a reduction in Mr Weka's V8 motor, down to a V6 now. -

Now how he feels about the calf thing - when in ChCh in 2002 I used the Hotel rowing machine, and could barely walk the next day as I hadn't exercised for the month previous. Made it very painful getting a massage the next day from the sweet young thing in the white dress. They had a good day spa at that one <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
nah, this from the Wekas workout - calf raises, three sets of 25 reps. And he trying to impress the chick personal trainer he has (dunno if that part is true, but makes a good story) and going all macho... Then a step class, and its all over for Weka and walking for a day or two!!

evening row: 30 minutes 8183 metres. 'Just' 74 metres off my PB for this distance. That 74 metres though, is around 17 odd seconds, which is quite massive in the scheme of things.<br />
<br />
Didn't row hard out full on though,more of an interval thing, did 7 full on strokes at the start of each minute, then glided the rest of the minute, 30 times!! The hard out rowing was 1:40 (a low of 1:35), the glide would bust out to 1:55 at the start of the next minute. The 7 strokes would take about 13 odd seconds. Average 500m time over the 30 minutes 1:49.9.<br />
<br />
So officially knackered, and ready for the Blues v Bulls. Come on the Blues!! -
SUnday morning. 30 muntes. 8223m. <br />
<br />
Gutted, was setting myserlf up for a udge at my PB, which I thought was 2208. It was, before I beat it a few months back, with 2257.  So when i finished though i had set a new time. <br />
<br />
Did the 7 hard out strokes every mon ute thing again, but ran out of puff with 6 minutes to go, so just rowed at the average needed to reach 8208, which was about 1:50. With a minute to go, dropped too 1:45 or so, so as to beat the time. So probably would have beaten my REAL PB, had i known what it is. Fuck it is annoying to row for that long, and have 'everything under control', and beat your record, but be aiming at the wrong time.<br />
<br />
Ahh well, always next week.
