Thrilled with my craigslist purchase for $600. Though by the time it arrived in Australia it cost me all up $1100 freight, boxing and customs, now my garage/pain cave is complete with the tools for I hope to be a focused training.
For the past 10 days I have been doing steady state SS 30-40mins strength building efforts mostly 2k steady state 40/41spm, door setting on 1, HR is Z1 and 10 mins WU's, ensuring both the arms and shoulder are getting proper foundation. I was to take the line for my running and cycling in the past to take my time building a wide foundation as time is on my side. As I have a fair amount of aerobic conditioning but no upper body strength, has anyone found to be in the same scenario to slowly build with the foundation work at SS efforts while every week increasing the door resistance up one notch over 4-5 weeks then move into the build phase. I'm using the ergo daily 30-40 mins..
I am also curious to know has any one found a correlation between ergo training and olym /HIM distance race times. Did you find a point in the ergo sessions where you got a break through session that translated into a PB race time?
Last year the only time my toes touched the water was in a race, this coming 8-10 months it will be the same but with the ergo as my friend for conditioning. This has been the same with my running and cycling where I rarely get out on the road.
Thanks in advance
