the concept II keeps me going to the Gym (admittedly not during the summer) - someone once said to me it's the machine of truth, which does make sense
always funny to see the rows of bikes, treadmills and cross trainers permanatley occupied, and the rowing machines empty, guess that says a lot! (that is about the type of person who drives to the gym to then walk on the treadmill - takes all sorts i guess)
i've tried all the main distances, including the marathon - never been too bothered by times, but can normally manage a sub 20min 5k or 40 min 10k without too much bother (at 10st even, i'm a lightweight, so lack power to go much quicker).
including the marathon
😯 26 miles on an erg. That's just silly.
Not as silly as the real thing. You don't have to get off to carry your Concept II round a lock.

If I want to row, I'll find a boat.
If I want to go sculling, I'll look for an ergo. 😳
er I've done the Boston Marathon... it was a long way but good in a strange way in a good crew.
My son was in the J18 4X winning crew last year and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Fools.
Doesn't make me qualified to talk about rowing machines though.
clubber is the Smee of rowing. Actually, I think Smee said he used to regularly do 6.45 2ks - without any instruction.
I just managed a 7.12... I almost died, took me about half hour to return to feeling anything like normal.
that's a good thing, right DD? 😉
when we going.out for a spin, anyway?
oh and well done tsy
Sorry clubber, missed a big 🙂 Yes, that's a good thing. Free all next week apart from Tuesday and Thursday. 😉
TSY, well done. How's that five minute mile coming along?
Still not running at the min Darcy, training starts in October. Really want to drop my 2k time now as well though!
Ah yes...of course.
Oooooh, what's wrong with ambition? I'm going to give it my very best shot!
I know you will. I'm backing you 110%. Xx
LOL 😀
