I'll try it. I did dumbell burpess in my circuits class last night. Also saw an ex-Wire player doing dumbell push-ups with single arm-row combo which I had a crack at. They were knackering. The energy used is a lot more but I prefer the wrist position.
Also had a crack at single arm barbell snatches...blimey, they make you work

Had a go at this tonight in the gym...did it with a 30 sec break between machines.
Row 19 min 30 sec
Run 27 min 50 sec
Bike 6 min 13 sec
Total 53 min 33 sec
I'd like to think I can improve on the run by three mins or so as I have only just started running again after a year off due to a heal injury. I'd be bloody happy to get under 50 mins combined over the next two or three months....I'm the wrong side of 40 so I think that would be pretty good.

Run 22:20
Row 21:34
Cycle 4:54
48:48
My aim is to go sub 45
Can take 3 mins off the run, wasn't pushing it and hadn't warmed up.
Would struggle to take much off the row, i've only used the rowing machine 5 or 6 times ever and my technique is probably rubbish .
Doubt I could take anything more than a few seconds off the cycle.
Have only really been training for 2 months after a good few years off. Currently doing about 15-20 hours training per week, mostly on the bike.

practice teh rowing...should be able to get it down to 20 mins without killing yourself. I'm fat and I can do it. Cant run to save my life as dodgy knee and ankle.
The big mistake I think people make with rowing is not getting the breathing right....you need to breath more like you are doing weights rather than doing a run or bike ride where you don;t have to think about it. Concentrate on getting a lung full of air as you go from the position from your legs being fully extended to when you're legs are bent....then exhale when you extend again. I do the above and row at roughly 20 strokes per minute....I can row comfortably under 20 mins doing that. I suppose it does take a little more outright muscle strength than rowing at a high tempo but that is no bad thing as it probably gives you a better all round workout ?

Something not quite right here as this is in excess of 60kph average. Unless you are Bradley Wiggins?Edited by Rocksteadyeddie on Friday 2nd April 16:29

Yes was going to say! i'm going @ 120rpm + to hit 7 mins! and thats fast ha ha
Probably depends on the gearing of the bike to an extent....on the exercise bikes at my gym 100 rpm got me close to 6 minutes. 120rpm is bloody fast! As is 60 kph! Mind there is no wind resistance. Rocksteadyeddie said:

I will try and do the 5km challenge one day! My best 5km run is 25:40, I did a 5km cycle last night at 8:57, but I'm crap at rowing
