Million Meter Challenge
-
If overtraining is a concern, I know that power zone training works great for mitigating that on a bike, and since that erg has a power meter, I bet you could use the same approach there.

@tody Is this one better? This was last year (1300 k’s for 7 month rowing) and in the middle of a 310,000 m training session for the month of August (10,000m - each day).
I’m 1.5 months post Covid and just returning back to full Aerobic capacity. I have the Polar HR monitor, but haven’t worn it the past week, but will in the next week or two.
Appreciate the insights!

Thank you! Same just around Easter. Haven't rowed since the start of April and just started again June 1st.
The reason my daily was only 3849m was because I started out too fast and couldn't get into the groove. Called it quits for the day and started on a 10,000m the next day. Still not in the groove, but it's coming back quickly.
My drag factor is still low (like to be around 110-125), but I can feel that my form is still out of sorts. Today was the best day of the week, but still not where I was last year. Also will mix in HR zone training in the next few weeks when everything starts to settle again.
I really appreciate the help and advice!!

Add 24km

@sabergirl Can you tell me about the ring? Do you charge it daily? Fairly accurate? I didn’t know anything about it and had to look it up. If it’s reliable, I might consider something like that.

Does riding my peloton count? If so, I'd be in, between the near obsessive amount I've been riding it and wanting to join a casual 5k run club on Wednesdays at a local brewery, this all sounds great

Matt Wilpers is such a good coach. He and Denis followed by Olivia are my favorites.

[mention]goosehd [/mention] I mostly look at the sleep data that it collects. Who knows how accurate that is. I only have to charge it once every 4-5 days. Mine is the second generation, and I think the third one has improved HR monitoring.
The pedometer is pretty accurate, but the data for the map and activity tracking sometimes seems to stop collecting for some reason. The thing I dislike about it is that it sets an arbitrary activity goal, and I can’t set my own. I’m not even sure I understand what the goal is that’s been set, and how they arrived at it.

I'm in! I only have about 50Km for the challenge so far, but over 1000 for my cycling season.

It will be cool to count the collective distance travelled of all of us at the end of this. I did a 6 mile run today so another 10km.

@Nkwkfld:

Just a rough count so far: Collectively we have went 375 km's (233 miles). That's roughly the distance from Gosport UK to Manchester UK.
Awesome effort guys!!!

anything counts @sabergirl
I had a great tour this afternoon along our cliff line. Adds another 53 km.

Everybody's doing great, no matter how much, the point is getting out there. I've got a chunk from this weekend to add to the pile, hit the peak of my training plan for the 100km run I'm now tapering for. Still not sure I can do it, but more confident after doing 85km this weekend.
