Hey guys,
I'm setting up an elite gym challenge in the summer and I want to see if sub 9 mins for 2,500m ergo is a realistic time for a cut off point between the elite competitiors and the rest. I therefore challenge you to have a go. Post your times here (I'm doing it tomorrow so I'll tell you how I got on).

I'd say that's a good figure.
Sub 7 for 2km is a good standard, even for rowers, so for a CrossFit chap (or the like) an extra 2 mins for 500m would even it up a bit.
Will give it a whirl tomorrow... haven't done any conditioning for ages though!

Nice time Matt, well done, gives me something to aim for next time
No seriously nice 1.
"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"
Here endeth the lesson.
