Hi George,<br /><br />All good sessions for improving a 2k time i feel. As you have often stated you need endurance for the 2K race.<br /><br />If i was to rank your sessions: 3 is the most effective with 2 the least - why? Mainly because of benefits of low SPM, the estimated or predicted peaks of H...

<i>I don't know about Tardieu, but I'm sure you know nothing of Ripley, the guy rowed with the Boat Race Crew when he was twice the age of the rest of the rowers there. He was also apparently a Rugby Monster and an all aroud Sportsman. Battling cancer now apparently, but I suppose if we live long en...

A year on from starting my ergo training its relavent to review how its gone so far and look at what helped. I thought weights would be essential and spent months building myself up to reach the magic 100kg before considering prolonged ergo row training...how wrong i was. My experience is that there...

Hi,<br /><br />I've been forced to take a couple of days break from training due to a viral bug - hence the opportunity to not just read the posts but add something of interest for those of us who suppliment our ergo rowing with weight training sessions.<br /><br />You may want to look up the refere...

Hi,<br /><br />I always use mine but then again that is because i feel i understand them and what they are showing me. I have an old Polar protrainer NV (so old they no longer make this model!)<br /><br />If you do get one see if you can find from the library a quite useful book - "training - lactat...

Hi, perhaps isolating the problem might be the best place to start - 'runners knee' covers a host of possible sins. Have someone test the structures to what it is eg IT band tendonitis, chondromalacia patellae, meniscus etc - each one treatable. Without knowing the condition you may be stuck with on...

It must be my day for dragging out good stuff in the archives... but these are words of wisdom that can be linked to another post on hard and easy weeks. Getting structure to training that thinks about work intensity and includes principles of overload, rest and periodisation should mean PB's come e...

This maybe openning an old wound but i feel George was making a good point about alternating hard and easier weeks to allow for maximum physiological compensation.<br />After a year George ...did you decided to alternate your work intensity?<br />Cheers<br />Tim<br />..by the way go the Lions!

This maybe a little too over the top but apart from doing a coconi principle test pretty much hits the mark to get an accurate Hrate - you could also see the work of Peter GJM Janssen on Training, Lactate and Pulse Rate.<br /><br />Measuring Training Effectiveness<br />From national team testing to ...
