By the way, the funniest thing I ever saw was a guy on the erg in sweat pants and a jacket rowing underhand and on his recovery his knees would bend out to the side almost parallel to the ground, I don't actually know how he did it but needless to say he was finished in under 2 minutes.

I am noticing the same thing... funny. I just started to holiday challenge and want to row 10k a day, which has been fine for the past 5 days... I have run marathons in the past and usually do my aerobic workouts for at least 45 minutes. The other day this guy looked at me as if I had 4 heads and sm...

John, <br><br>Thanks for your input. I rowed strapless last night and it definitely helped me with my stroke and it was easier than anticipated.

Although, I do not row marathons, I have run them and I found that wearing double layered socks helps (running stores have them). On the subject of socks, avoid cotton as...

Hi, I am a runner/marathoner turned rower (as of 3 days ago). I have used the concept in the past for training but nothing more than 5000-6000 meters at once. I am 23 and in pretty good shape and trying to find the type of goals I should be able to reach. I heard about the 200K challenge, and though...
