Million Meter Challenge
-
Just did a 50k run
-
@Nkwkfld Are you able to train the next day after completing that level of a training session? Do you take a few days off?
I've done quite a few century bike rides (100 mile's - although haven't attempted that distance in the last 10 years) and a 30 km row, but I'm absolute crap for the next few days until I've recovered.
-
I’ve done a few of these 50k runs as training for the 100k event I’m doing in July and yes I do train the next day, but it’ll be mostly body weight strength training or easy swimming. Usually helps get rid of the soreness.

geeziz … I'm with Giles, you win.
here's my paltry contribution. I'm a colonial, we don't understand the whole meter thing. 
And @neph93 -spare me the pedo jokes

Good on ya @sabergirl .
I'll see how this goes in July & August it gets swampy here
Should see if I make it through June first ::) -
@sabergirl Seeing that map reminds me of the week I spent in your area. Wife had a conference at the Grove Park Inn and I spent a week exploring. Beautiful area!!
…and the food at the Grove Park is some of my favourite I ever experienced (not that the scenery didn't help or the wine).

Add 6500m for a track run with about 20 others in drizzly Portsmouth this morning. 4x1km with 90 second rest in between and warm up/cool down easy laps.

@steelworker @endo @sabergirl @Nkwkfld Thank you all for helping me get through the first week and in my opinion the hardest of any challenge.
I really appreciate your participation and it helps motivate me a lot.

@tody I’m sorry, but I don’t have an online account with Concept 2. I can give you the basic info from the phone though. Anything specific you’re looking for?
You should really sign up for their website. The graphs really provide a much better view into what you are actually doing.
Constant stroke rate, constant 500m time and at best a gradually advancing heart rate somewhere between 130 at the beginning and 160 at the end - that's what I'm aiming for.
Here's one of my 45min pieces, disregard the heart rate monitor cutting out in the end:

My niece is a novice rower and has so much promise that she had elite rowing programs fighting by over her and was 4th globally for females ages 19-29 on one of those. That portal is pretty rad!
