No I definatly do not run as much as I row, I usually only run when the water is to rough and we want a break from rowing or when the erg is being used at the gym and i a forced to use the treadmill

I am curious, how accurate are the calorie counters on the erg, or for that matter, any piece of cardio equipment?

I am not very familiar with the calorie option on the erg but I don't think you input age or weight, I don't know how you are calculating calories with running, treadmill maybe. If this is the case, then you would enter both age and weight, which would mean you are calculating calories burned in two...

This is just another example of how you can't compare rowing and running. I don't know how big the person was who said they row 10k at a 1:53 and run 10k in 35min or something, but I regularly row 10k in the 1:53 range, and I can only run 10k in 41min. I am only 170 lbs at 6'1".
