I'll be going to CRASH-B's next weekend, and it seems a decent number of you are too. I'm curious about everyone's plans for tapering, basically what their training schedule looks like for the next week and a half. Personally, I'll probably train hard next sunday, monday, wednesday, and thursday, mo...

My team does "towers" sometimes. I go to SUNY Albany, in New York, and we have 21-floor dormitories. Usually, we run up and down them about 7 or 8 times, it's a good workout. We race going up, and also down, although i find i jump half a flight each time. That's probably a good way to get hurt. Eith...

I've always been a fan of Steve Prefontaine's quote:<br />"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."<br /><br />Here's another one, it's a long quote, but it motivates me:<br />"Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it...

i've been reading lately about the two different muscle-fiber compositions that exist, slow-twitch and fast-twitch. Here's a website that explains it pretty well: <a href='http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson33.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson33.htm</a><br /><br />The ...

I learned of the tabata protocols about a year ago. On occasion, i'll do a workout that is 8 minutes of it, followed by 5 minutes rest, then 8 minutes again. one of the toughest workouts i've ever done. I usually try to do a set, 4 minutes worth, at the end of my workout session, and i've found them...

My girlfriend has been rowing for over two years now, a very frequent erger also. She has been having an issue, that has been in the past couple months becoming worse. She seems to be applying pressure on the drive unevenly. I've noticed that at her finish on the erg, when your toes will come up, he...

I have had problems before with stopping pieces. It was really when I was erging alone, and it really didn't matter the piece. I almost always force myself to get on teh machine, and sometimes I decide to do something else or just not work out that day. I feel like it's ok once in a while, and in a ...

"Keep your heels down"<br /><br />I have yet to actually master it to the level i want, but i found once i stopped lifting my heels so much, i had to keep things more controlled, and my times dropped significantly.

I'm a fan of the B because of how simple it is, and also that noise it makes when you give it a good pull. Does anyone else have a problem with the PM3, the way it changes in a sluggish way? I guess it's because the pm1-pm2+ used led for the display, whereas the pm3 uses lcd, i believe that's the te...

I'm always looking to improve my 2k time, but aren't we all? My issue is that I'm unsure of what training will help me improve the most. I feel like my times are not balanced. To give you an idea of how I do on my pieces, here are my recent times for the following pieces:<br />2k = 6:24<br />5k = 16...

do you have the video for the womens coxswain awards? it should be awards 7, right before the mens, i can't find it, does anyone have it, or is it in a different section?<br />

what about the afternoon races? When will they be up?

I've recently made pr's for just about all distances, and am curious as to everyones times. My main issue is the fact that my 6k is 20:32 my 10k is 35:42, but my 2k is only 6:34. Is my 2k simply that out of place or am I not pulling hard enough or perhaps am I not strong enough? My split is 1:38.5 f...
