I was a little ill at the beginning of the week, but I'm pretty much back on top of it now. Wouldn't mind a few more days before the 2k but in all I'm pleased with how the last few weeks have gone.

Week 6

------

14/04 1x outing. Starting to get some feel for it but horribly inconsistent.

15/04 5k @ 18 (c. 1:55) + 2k @ 22/24/26/28 (c. 1:45)

15/04 1x outing. Blown into the barges, spent about 20 minutes getting out. Better after that, mainly need to work on confidence really at this stage.

16/04 15k @ 18 on sliders (easy does it - ill). 1:04:07 (2:08.2).

18/04 Weights (Day 2 programme)

19/04 Weights (Day 1 programme) [500m: 1:36.6]

Training

15km (2:09.2 split at rate 19), 40km cycle, 30 mins at rate 15 (don't ask me what I was trying to achieve, I don't really know!) and 15km (2:06.3 @ rate 21).
See you guys soon, Rob

Eric Riedl's training

Hello!

My training this week was:
Tuesday: 10k
Wednesday: 15k
Thursday: 15k
Friday: 15k

Average splits were again around 2:07-2:10. My 10k was at around 2:06.8 average split, and the 15k's were slower. I think it was Wednesday's that was the slowest, at about 2:09.8.

Petey's Easter Training

Yay! I'm on the blog. So here's the training I've done this Easter:

Week 1

Couple of outings for HORR, half hour run and half hour erg

Week 2

30min jog on Sun (v. hot), hour of swimming on Mon and Thurs, 15k Tue and Fri, 30min jog on Wed.

Week 3

Sailing for a week in the Solent. So no access to ergs or anything, but I guess I was quite active.

Week 4

15k on Mon, 30min jog on Wed, half hour ergs on Thursday and Friday (was getting bored of 15ks).

That's it. Highly impressive I think you'll agree....NAAAAAAT.

Training for the week

Having noticed that if I still want to be here for the next three years doing a PhD and carry on rowing I probably need to get >90% in my exams to offset my shite coursework, I have decided to selflessly sacrifice my training regime for the future of the club, for the next 2 and a bit weeks while my exams are on. Hence, not so much training this week, and it will be a bit slack for the next couple as well:

Monday - 1x with Benson hanging around (managed some reasonably decent square blades stuff which was a shock)
Tuesday - 2- with Corny, some nice stuff by the end, especially when I wasn't being distracted by steering, which meant that we would row about 10 good strokes then the next 20 would be spent zig zagging.
Wednesday - 15k @ 18, 2:00.4 splits

And that's it I'm afraid, I needed a break on Thursday and then realised quite how much work I needed to do for my exams on Friday!

roblog

90mins cycle, outing 4x+, bike out of order so I just ran for 90 mins... my legs are planning their revenge right now.
Back on the erg in a couple of days though... can't wait!

Training this week

Wednesday

8k outing in 2s and fitness training

Thursday

12k outing in 2s. Fitness training.

Friday

8k outing and some more intense fitness training.

Sunday

VERY intense fitness training :)

Poor Week

Not really much this week, as i went home tuesday to saturday, but training was as follows:

Monday - 1x ~8km (with Paul)
Tuesday - 2x ~6km (with Patrick, we did a fair bit of singles work, partly due to the fact that i cannot steer for shit, which counted (more for Patrick than me) as some good resistance work)

I promise more this week and the next, and so on, aerobic stuff, with the motivation that otherwise I'm going to make a fool of myself in a few weeks :D

Training

So game of rugby last Saturday with Billog against some huge 2nd team, but one fell on me and have been pretty screwed since. I needed a few days off after that unfortunately but have done a 30 min run and spent a day speed walking round cities/towns in the east midlands.

For some reason i have a red mark on the Excel sheet! Possibly forgot to log the training... but oh well. Last week played 5-a-side for an hour, full game of rugby, squash and ~ 30 min run.

Eric Riedl's training

This was my training for the past week:

Simon's Log

Mon - Probably about 10k in a 1x
Tue - 12k in 2-, spent most of the outing trying to synchronise the drive phase properly so the boat didn't skew so much
Wed - 2- again, and an 8- in the evening, was a bit rubbish, was rowing with all the vets
Thurs - 2x, about 10k
Fri - 2-, about 8k, followed by touch rugby
Sat - 14k in 4x

My Awesome Training

As the title suggests, my training has been of roughly biblical proportions since HORR. As with most biblical references, the exact details of much of the story are a little vague, however any good Christian will come away safe and sure in the knowledge that I am the fucking nuts.

Week 1: Much of this week has been lost in the annals of antiquity.
Week 2: There was definitely some rowing this week, and I was in the erg room for about an hour one morning.

Week 3:

Tuesday: Outing in 8+. Ran to the BH, walked 'on water' on the way back.
Wednesday: Did a 2.5 x 2k at 1:50 splits.
Thursday: Outing in 8+. Ran halfway back.
Friday: Outing in 2- with Harry. Spent most of the outing trying to row gently enough that I didn't pull him round ;). Ran to BH and back.
Saturday: 15k @ 18, 2:02.8 splits
Sunday: 15k @ 18, 2:01.8 splits. Rob's music is awesome, definitely made the difference.

Rob Raine's Training

25mins jog, 90mins on bike, quadruple scull outing

forgot one thing

did a 60 min, it was terrible, i think i might have done a weights sesh beforehand, distance unsure as i was on the broken erg at first, something like 14k.

Outings

31/3: Outing
Won't be able to make an outing next week, except Wed 8/4.

What up homies

Mein Training, es ist super cool, ja!

Tuesday - weights + cardio 1.5hrs;

Laters mofos,
W

What I Did This Week

Had a reasonable week, a few extra sessions and some progress in the gym and on the erg. Brought my 2k down another few seconds so now it's sub-6:55 and on track for 6:50, I'll see how the next one feels. Raised the bar at the gym (these great puns just come to me effortlessly) with a few extra kilos and finally got through the whole abs set. Killer. All the weights (except on 4/4) include one or two of the standard warm up/cool down ergs with slide build and 500m sprint. It was also good to get a few outings in again.
