Hey Ojmit,<br />I know exactly what your going through.I've been training on the erg for the best part of a year now and I have hit my 3rd 'wall' for the want of a better word.I have found that if you just put your head down and continue trainning a new pb is only 2 or 3 weeks away.Just keep up the ...

Alrite,<br />This is an absolutely fantastic session:2x6k ergs with a 7 min break.You should try to go 3.5 to 4 seconds slower on the avg. split than your predicted 6k pace if you were to do one today,then try to beat you first 6k time in your second 6k.Then once you do your next session start with ...

Alrite,<br />This is a fairly interesting topic and has been subject to many a heated debate amongst my crew.I believe that even two beers (happened last nite) can have a drastic effect on your training the next day (Happened today) especially if your training more than once a day.However I'dont thi...

Alrite lads and/or lassies,<br />I have just finished my first season of rowing.The whole experiance was great from barley scraping into the 2 seat of the 2nd novice VIII right up to just missing out in a seat race for our Henely IV+.However all good things come to an end. This happened a couple of ...

Alrite bhoys,<br />New 60 min pb 17063m 1:45.5 avg pace.Very happy with this really want to get a 6:15 2k in nxt few weeks.<br /><br />Anto

Alrite,<br />Why not do more than 4 500's,sure 4 is a good start point but you should work up to about 8 or 10.Also you should try this:3x500m with 1 min break in between then take a 4/5 min break and do another set and so on.This will increase your muscels cappacity to get rid of lactic acid which ...

hey all,<br />I am suffering from the cold too.Missed a 2k test today and I have 4 regattas in the next 12 days!This is about the third cold I have had in the last 5 weeks.I have been told that increased susceptabilty to colds ect is a symptom of over training.Gonna try sneak out at 6am on the morro...

hey,<br />I am in my first season of rowing and have just about began shorter distance work on the erg.I have a decent a endurance base built up over the past 5 months(20,31 for 6k and 16560m in an hour).At the moment we are doing 5x500m pieces with a 2 min break between each piece.I just want to kn...

I might take tomorrow off training or maybe j...
