popped out for a quick session at lunch - has to be in order to get there and back and showered .... unless I skipped the shower ... hmmm maybe not. Anyway flicking back to before the time away from the erg I spotted a 8by500 r24 at sub 1:35 pace - so thought that would be grand to do ...
Got to the gym - changed and ready to go - out to the two ergs and they'd used the strap I gave them to fix one - fantastic - oh wait both the ergs are in use... so a few minutes wait and a very short warm up then programmed the 500's - young lad jumped on next to me and i caught him doing sub 1:40 splits at sub 30 rate and thought he looked quite smooth - about ten seconds after i started my 1:34 r26 he got off - hope it wasn't because of what I was doing. anyway on I went but nearly sacked it off after the first but rated to 26 to see me through - the next three where quite the struggle and new I'd need to end on the 4th - some good must have come from it ... anyway tomorrow I run a marathon and then I'll start planing how I'm going to get the training done.

Lanzarote Session 1 - 30r20 70% HRR plus 4by500
Well first thing first - had to update firmware to allow ergdata to work - luckily this can be done direct from the iphone these days :o)
Next change language to English and then set off on a sweaty 30r20 HRR 70% - no HR on the PM and ended up a little high on the stroke rate at the start
View from the erg not too bad
Then the pain came - 4by500 target 1:30 pace - first was horrible and nearly didn't even start the second - legs in horrors - felt like lead - but as I've started I might as well finish
