10km Times
-
And in my efforts to encourage slow fuckers like me to post, there's my best time. Previous best was 46:35 on the 28-06-07, improved to 44:51 today.<br />
<br />
Was feeling OK, kind of in pain and sprawled out on the floor in my recovery position (looks like a starfish with steam rising off of it) when my son - who though it was a game - ran up and kneed me in the guts. That didn't help so much. -
The first 3 rows are hell and the times are well down. Then it gets more comfortable and I get some reasonable gains<br />
<br />
The problem for me at the moment is I seem to keep getting little injuries or work gets really busy and I struggle to find time.. so I'm constantly starting over<br />
<br />
So my PBs are still a long way off - 1 min away from my 10k, 30sec from my 5k and 200m away from my 30min distance -
New poster here, so be gentle with me.<br />

Getting back on the rower this year after having a kid arrive in the house stopped me rowing for a while. Am working on getting my km up to consistently over 100km a month. <br />
<br />
Just pulled 10km in 38:56 earlier this week - had a slower row today due to having to stop and adjust the heart rate monitor.<br />
<br />
Do people still hang out in this forum? <br />

Cool, I'll post in here. I've been intermittent on our concept 2 - have clocked 2.2M metres and working on the third. Satisfying to see it tick over, that's for sure! Great fitness and I just need to lay off the beers and chips and it'd be easy <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

Posted a happy 10km of 38:51.4 yesterday. Felt good and strong at the end - didn't want to blow out as I plan another 20-30km in the next few days. Got to 100km for the month just now (well,99km anyway) and looking strong to pull150km for the month. That's a good month for me - I reckon I should be doing that all the time but don't seem to manage it.

Back on semi-regularly now. Had a good row yesterday - 38:15 for the 10k, which I celebrated by goofing down pasta salad and mostof a box of beer. What a superb weekend of sport!<br />
<br />
I find it is just time on the erg - keeping the technique up and churning out thekm. Whoever wasposting above with some 10k timesin the mid 36 minutes - respect. That is some serious speed ... reckon I'll have to keep on it to get down there. <br />

Still hovering around 40:30 for the 10km<br />
<br />
I do intervals fairly often but I think the problem is that I haven't been doing much more than 15-20k a week. So I think I need more kms to make progress<br />
<br />
Tried something different last week and went for a 15km row to get some more endurance. <br />
Pleased with the result as it was 1:02:29 @ a split of 2:04.97 (which is completely different from 2:05)<br />
<br />
The best part was the steady rate throughout the whole row. Each of the 5kms were completed between 20:40-20:50 normally I would go out faster and just try to hold on -
Hey Duluth,<br />
<br />
15km is a top effort - you need serious stamina to get there. I find with the longer rows that it is my ass that hurts the most...<br />
<br />
Just stay on it - I've been really slack the last couple of months with some changes around the place. Rowing with a kid in the house can be difficult - they can't seem to stop wanting to stick fingers into places they are not meant to go. <br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

What is the best strategy for the longer rows as the longest I have rowed are the 5000m. I would like to do a few longer rows.<br />
Where do you set the resistance? I normally set it between 5-6 for the 2000m. <br />
What do you pace yourself at? - do you focus on spm or try and set a 2:00 min 500?<br />
<br />
Sorry for all the questions but I am keen to try a bit of variety in the rowing.
