Good shit Bartman. Here's another useless statement for you from the last tour I went to Oktoberfest on.......The Body is evil. It must be punished :whistle:<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
I was taught it as "The liver is evil and must be punished". -
fark Bartman!!!<br />
<br />
I just worked it out that's a whopping 4.26 meters per second, I did a "sprint" the other night with Zara's session admitably at the end of a weights session and only did 500m in 2 1/2 mins that's 3.33 m/sec<br />
<br />
Son you are on fire!!!! -
Sweet Bartman. Good shit. Just to put it in perspective, I just did a 15 min row and only managed 3525 metres. So at that pace if I completed 30 mins I'd only be 1128 metres behind! :2funny:<br />
<br />
C'mon Willy even I did 500m sprint in 1 min 46.4 secs and I am pedestrian pace. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> -
Saturday morning:Â 5500Â Â Â 21:30.5<br />
<br />
As Coastie says Willie, you should be able to do better than that!! Even after a workout you fat bastard!!<br />
<br />
and todays row puts me over the 2 million metre mark for the season (May to May I think). 2000654 total metres. 5620 metres a day, 9094 metres average for actual days rowed.<br />
<br />
Sitting on my arse for 129 hours : 29 minutes : 49.8 seconds! -
NEW RECORD - woohoo!!<br />
<br />
30 minutes: 8288metres.  Ave 1:48.6 / 500. <br />
<br />
Heart rate for the 6 seconds finger on pulse 19 - so around 190ish. Was sure I wasn't going to die though, and here I am :happy:<br />
<br />
Beat old record by 41 metres. -
Had row with the Bartman yesterday.<br />
<br />
Found out technique has a heap to do with distance!!! Fat Willie was rowing about one and half rows to Bartmans one, yet was going distane wise backwards. LOL<br />
<br />
Barty slowed me down and made me work harder on the back pulls, fark heaps more distance and a different workout cause you sortof get a rest on the way back in, as opposed to working both ways?<br />
<br />
At the end was sweeting heaps which is all good either way.<br />
<br />
End result Bartman way way over 5000 was too shy to look and Willie a pathetic 4311 at least an improved 3.59 m/sec -
Tuesday Row with Willie at MOUNT Baywaves gym thingy...<br />
<br />
20 mintues 5341.<br />
<br />
Wednesday Row 30 minutes 8224m 1:49.4 / 500 ave.<br />
<br />
Must be getting fitter, as todays row was not a hard out attack, but found I was 'cruising' at 1:50 after the first ten minutes. Working hard, no doubt about it, but still within myself. Managed to sprint the last 2 minutes in about 1:43 / 500.<br />
<br />
Sooo, going to give 10,000 a nudge, if can keep to that 1:50/500 mark, should get to 36:40 time, which is 57 seconds better than current PB.<br />
<br />
So RedBeard, when Purvey was fit, reckon he would have caned that 1:50 for 40 minutes. Powerful bloke, would row with ease methinks. Running however.... :nta<br />
<br />
Willie - your rowing ceratinly needs work mate - technique is where it is at, and that is where you isn't!!!! Practise rowing less strokes per minute at more power. Get to 2:00/500, and then hold it there as long as you can, at a slow stroke rate, then speed the rate up, and watch your /500 rate drop, as you will carry on rowing at the same power, but more SPM, and therefore faster. I reckon anyway!! -
morning row:Â 6000Â Â 23.01.9<br />
<br />
Amazing how much different your rowing can be in the morning. Certainly forme the best time to row is after work - body ready for action - it was a genuine struggle this morning - maybe not that fit after all :nta. But do note mornings are always harder for me - weights in the early hours is just purgatory.<br />
<br />
If I have time will try that 10k tonight. -
Back on deck - Monday row: 8000m   30:15.3<br />
<br />
The new rowing season started - May to May, so will try and get a daily average better than last seasons, which was 5,500 odd.<br />
<br />
Tuesday Afternoon Row: 10000m   37:58.5<br />
Tuesday Evening: 5500m  21:27.3 -
Question - when you first started using the rowing machine, how long did it take for you to be able to row the long distances? Have been rowing for a while now, but very rarely do I feel I am actually capable of going past 2000m. Usually by this point, the HR is well over 170 & MR is completely fucked.<br />
<br />
I usually go on about level 7 & get to 2,000m at about 8:30 - any tips on building this up?
