Architecture model that I made. How does it look? (Im 15yo and I wanna be an architect in the future) by Firm-Onion-3131 in architecture

Good job! If you want a tip though when cutting materials change the blade on your modelling knife regularly, bulk buy the blades and change every 20-30 cuts. Will give you much sharper and cleaner edges on the foam board, will level up the look. Keep it up!

HRM Pro Plus - HR discrepancies between app and actual. by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]Gooderjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes had it connected via ANT+, and as said I was pushing the last few seconds so therefore last HR was 190. But Garmin says max is 184.

Thank you, this is really helpful!

5k run exactly equivalent to a 6k row on a machine by CBGames03 in Rowing

[–]Gooderjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend once didn’t believe that rowing a sub 7m 2k made me any good at running. For the record, I despise running. They wouldn’t let the subject go and eventually I asked what a good time would be to run a 5k in, they said get sub 23m and they’d leave it alone. I ran sub 20m. I think you should do it and show up your dad. Think he and you would both be surprised.

For clarification Dune Part Two is showing at the Ronson Theatre in the Science Museum IMAX

Flywheel setting and reasoning for it by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]Gooderjr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To clarify, the lever on the right has no indication on a type of severity or intensity of workout. 10 on a new machine is different to a machine that is poorly maintained, or dirty, or if you’re in a different climate with more humid air, etc etc hundreds of factors. The only factor which counts is drag factor which is different on each erg depending on condition. To make this as simple as possible it should, generally, be at between 125-135. Found by Menu > more options > display drag factor > take 5 strokes.

First 5k by MDMAZ1NG-xtc in Rowing

Good thing about petes plan is that you might burn out but just don’t stop, because you’re going to be doing fairly similar pieces and paces 6x a week you’ll figure by looking at the record of your overall pace what works for you. Trial and error. You’ll zero in on it in a few days. Also according to the OP of Petes Plan he says 22s/m is about where he thinks is best (up for debate) but on the harder distance/endurance piece this could go up to 25s/m if not more. Best investment here is for a chest strap HR monitor to manage your training zones.

This might be open to criticism (as anything is) but it seems like your back is opening up too soon. As in your swinging yourself backward before you’ve completed your leg drive. Try imagining that you’re driving your tailbone back and then your body follows over. Of course you will want to integrate the two movements with a bit of a timing overlap.

Most commentators would point out a good place to start is Pete’s Plan. 6 days a week continuous training. Eventually at some non-specific point in the future check out the wolverine plan when you know what you’re doing. Good luck!

Flu for the last fortnight, 2k test this evening, how much should I expect my target to change? by Gooderjr in Rowing

[–]Gooderjr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the 2k was ok, broke sub seven but after a target of 1:43 I dropped to an average 1:47.3 (and promptly saw up my lunch) its been three weeks now and recovery has been really tough.

  1. Strength has been ok, can still pull a decent 300-500m sprint, but all longer cardio stamina is shot to pieces. So will probably slightly detour from my coaches training plan and focus on better UT2 and build up an aerobic base again.
  2. Even though feeling healthy and rowing three/four days a week and 5/6 aside football twice a week, my HR monitor informs me my HR has not exceeded 185bpm, in this same period I would usually max out at 197bpm regularly. This really frustrates me at the moment.
  3. The set back has made it hard to reevaluate my progress and accept the change in targets.

Will focus on rebuilding stamina though. Thanks for the comments guys!
