That's good muttley. It's nice to know how you compare to others. Gives you add competitiveness.

Wow. Can't believe I have managed to knock a minute off last weeks 5000m time. I have moved from 194 out of 308 for my age and weight bracket to 152!!!! I am now in the top half. Yay!

Yay! A whole minute! That is quite some going. You now have to work to stay in the top half ...

Well done becky.

I had a 5k test for crew selection last night. Set off too fast and was in ragged shape in last 1500. When it goes wrong in a 5k, it's a world of misery.

So that's the fifth time round the block with the Pete Plan done. I've been following this since last August and done well. But no advance on the 5K time so a change of plan is needed.

Hello to the Pete Plan 5K variant ... starting tomorrow.

Enjoy the 12 x 500m Muttley

I've stalled a bit on the Pete Plan now I'm in the thick of marathon training. Mainly doing steady 5 and 10k rows. Bramley 20 tomorrow, so Monday will be an easy row.

Ah, the Bramley 20. I did that a couple of times, a while back now.

I marshalled one year. My job was to crank up the hills for the second lappers

It's a good event ... enjoy, and wishing you a tailwind.

Edit the following day: nice weather for it too!

It was certainly a nicer day than Wokingham! Pushed a bit harder than I should have, finishing 2:08:29. This means I am going to be keeping to the rower for a couple of days while the running legs recover. Its this sort of time I really appreciate having the rower at home.

Well, after taking a break of a couple of days, it's onto the new 5K Pete Plan. Just done the 12 x 500 metre 1 min rest session. This has the potential to be a real shocker if you get the pacing wrong! I took it conservatively and as per the plan will be looking to hold the same pace for the next intervals, the 4 x 1500m.

Finished it in one piece, more or less ... but funny how the reps got longer and the rest minutes got shorter as the workout proceeded ...
