Good luck with getting a decent deal Night Owl. Joining fees are a gym con, they don't have to charge you that. Which gyms are you looking at? Apparently the new indoor rowing season starts tomorrow, so all yearly rowing totals are re-zeroed. |

Today's session will be: 5 x 500m / 2 min recoveries. Now that I've written it here I HAVE to do it! Will take me around 20 mins in my current state of "fitness". |

Good stuff. Split times? I did a steady 25 minutes this morning. Working my way through the beginners' Pete Plan, on week 11. It's starting to get serious ... |

Splits...dunno! it's an old model C with an old monitor. 4147m in 20 mins, with the 500s at around 2:15ish. That's hard for me these days but slower than my average split for my 5000m PB. Recoveries super slow. Average split 2:24.6 over the 20 mins. I'll take that. I'd like to beat my 5000m PB this year, got to start somewhere. |

Got 15000m over 3 rows this week so far, another 36 minutes on Saturday. Slow build up to 30,000, then marathon training starts.

Captain sorry late replying going to watch this thread so I don't miss posts It'll be Bannatynes unfortunately its nearby. Other gyms are available but its getting to them. Least they have several machines. Have rejoined them a couple of times and hadn't had to pay any fees Don't have to do the old year contract either justhave to do the old month or two notice |

It's all good Sally. I did my 25 minutes at just under 2:10 at UT1 heart rate. I'd love to break 20 minutes for 5K but it's a long shot. Cap'n: which marathon plan are you going to use? Have to say that my Model D 10 years ago was one of my best-ever purchases. Paid for itself in terms of gym membership many times over. |
