SUB 7 IRC

[Fair Weather Golfer]

Hi, Benny, I googled your web site, great effort, doing one 25k is an effort, doing 2*25k for 20days great effort, hope money keeps comming in for your fund raising effort for the MS charity.
Lets hope medical science can find a cure or at the very least some way of slowing down the effects of this ailment.

Simon - temperature at 8am start in Edinburgh only expected to be 10c so not too concerned. Just need my body to get in the groove. Glad the forecast is reasonable as there will be a lot of runners about so need to be there by 7am latest.

Dougie - last weekend I received a Yahoo email that I accidently deleted and then empted the trash. I have missed the deadline for asking Yahoo to restore it. Is there an easy way to get it back or do I have to grovel to the sender to wing it again?

Did a 60min session last night, aim to do 15k, on target for 40min, then heat got to me and for 6min could not get under 2:15.0 splits.Nearly stopped, did last 10min in 1:58.5 splits.
Still a pb with 14688m at 2:02.5, 315m improvement on 6 months ago.

With 6 days to go to end of month not sure whether to go for 2000m pb, hm pb or if I can shift this cold go for both

Cor Blimey Rodders.......Have a word with Carol!!!!!bang out of order ,when have I ever been out of order? think shes getting me mistaken with Oz,or Richard Cheeseman,or Burge !I think I even brought Carol flowers last year!

Rockett sa bit of a maverick too,and now Joes got a taste for the malts after the walking trip ,it could be a night to remember again

By trouble makers she means staying up late drinking and her having to come downstairs in her dressing gown to tell us to shut up cos we're keeping her awake (like last year).
.

Oh good that's not me then as I never saw the missus in her dressing gown, I'd long gone to my pit. Missed the greyhound racing as well thank god

I wonder how long this position will last?

[Dimos]

Welcome Ben. Great place to be inspired and keep you on your toes, well, erg seat at the least.

Strapless – I really do like doing the strapless rows executed mainly at 22-24spm. When my stroke rate is that low I don’t think I lose any power/speed whether I am strapped in or on. Helps me focus more on using legs and body doesn’t become lazy.

Bezza – good luck with the 10k

James – superb 7 x 1k r2. Super-fast as always. Very impressive paces.

Rod and Carol - looks like your running has stepped up another gear again and your rowing is once again getting faster. Looks like you have a good balance now and it’s paying dividends.

Huge congratulations to Andrew and family with the new addition, well done.

Susan – great effort on the CTC. Good luck in the HM, stay cool and keep hydrated, it’s gonna be a scorcher.

Simon – great 60min PB. Keep it up. Go for all PB attempts. You are on top form now, just rest well in between but why before end of the month?

[Dimos]

I am still suffering from last weekend with a sore throat and chesty cough.

However, on Tuesday I did manage a strapless session of 5 x 5mins on with 2 rest @ 22spm. Averaging about 1:55. Initially I wanted to do 6 but found it difficult to breath and chest felt very dry. Didn't think would be a good idea to push it.
After a few minutes rest I run 6k on the treadmill. It has been over a month since my last run. Hot and bothered run but took it failry easy.

Have rested a few days now but need to get back to some serious training.
Only have 3 weeks till “Fun in the Forest”.

EeBeeGeeBee: us Forces brats get everywhere (nature of the beast I guess). which service?

RAF, Ben, but only a lowly sergeant, and one of the back-office boys. No fancy flying, flight engineering or anything interesting like that. I was actually born in an RAF hospital over in Germany (or West Germany as it was then).
We've got another connection too, albeit spurious. You live in Derby. My Dad was born and bred in Ilkeston. We've not got any family connections there any more though (not that I know of anyway).

I managed a whole 10k. The time wasn't spectacular: 42:45 or thereabouts. But it's a whole 10k, which is the furthest I've rowed for about 3 months now.

Well done George. I know that it's simultaneously both a triumph and a disappointment - the fact that you managed a whole 10k, but also that you couldn't row at your best. It's the nature of recovery. I think it's always best to set a mental limit which is twice as long as you expect your full recovery to take. That way, most sessions are a pleasant surprise and you at least feel as if you are making progress.

Good luck but remember not to get too exuberant too soon - you could end up off training for even longer...

Cheers, Planky. I stepped up another gear today. Just the one though. Don't want to push it. Another 10k, this time in a fraction of a second under 42 mins. Slow and steady, slow and steady.

Fantastic bit of running, Rod and Carol. I did a 5-miler myself yesterday as it happens. Not nearly as fast as you guys, obviously. Plus it was very hilly. I averaged about 10 kph, i.e. about 48 mins. I've got a long way to go before I reach your heady heights.

TPK: very best of luck in Edinburgh this weekend. I'm very jealous. It promises to be a blistering event.

Bezza: ditto with the Poole 10k

Is it really only 3 weeks until The Fun In The Forest? Wish I was able to come

...more links here George. I was also in the RAF. Chequered career. Do you remember what a "fairy" is? A la Air Comms/Radar and Flight systems engineer (Sealand, Brize Norton, Benson). Then aircrew training at Finningley (now Robin Hood Airport, Doncaster) but was ejected after a "security incident". Ended up on Chinooks at Odiham. Bought a house in Basingstoke while posted there. Left after 9 years in 87. Still living in Basingstoke.

Hellooooo

I had a hospital appointment today so i decided to use public transport to get there and take my Brompton. I then rode back for 8 miles and did it in just under an hour pootling along. Bizarrely I stopped to let somebody pass me on the canal and he stopped and told me a really long joke which i had to then pretend to find funny at the end! But i did chuckle to myself after, he was a friendly enough, just a bit odd.....but then aren't we all

I got in and felt very self rightous to have made it to the door and not as much of a sweaty mess as i expected. I was just very, very thirsty......and had jelly legs (different muscles to rowing?)

Two new conditions to add to my list

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otosclerosis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_positional_vertigo

My dad has Otosclerosis and it is often hereditary so thanks dad

Been booked in to have a hearing aid fitted

I don't see it as anything different than wearing glasses. My dad has two hearing aids and i've witnessed him slyly switching them off when my mum starts nattering.....i like his style

Pardon?

[burgey]

Gazebo’s……………have any of the folk coming to the ‘Fun in the Forest’ got Gazebos they can bring?

I want to be sure we’ve got enough shade and we’ve only got the one.

Ergs………..still waiting for a few folk to reply to my emails asking if they are bringing ergs….c’mon…you know who you are!

I can't get the erg in the car with us but i may have a couple of beach tents somewhere.......i shall venture to the cupboard under the stairs but i may not return
