I have seen, on a Xeno video, using a single leg drive as a drill - he was erging on slides, which made the activity more practical. Some people like slides for themselves - to me they were just an expense and too large for my set-up - but they could certainly be used in your situation where other m...

here's my input - I work hard to keep my heels down completely, which does limit my travel somewhat, and occasionally when sprinting I'll let them raise a tiny bit and get them back down as fast as possible at the beginning of the drive - I hope I'm taking up the freewheel/chain slack at the start a...

Nosmo- Thank you - that is extremely clear - the focus largely on the meaning of "average", rather than on the equivalency of watts versus speed (all this in the context of the erg and the PM3) that is to say - as I ( think I ! ) understand it - as reported by the PM3 : watts or time-per-500-meters ...

stroke rate reporting

probably been discussed before does anyone know how the Stroke Rate as reported for a session is arrived at ? I have observed that Heart Rate is simply a snap-shot approach: what the HR was at the end of the time period/s called for in the work-out's splits; and so a more "accurate" or finer grained...

and then add a day for good luck - vigorous exercise (obviously) increases blood pressure dramatically

by the way, I do a colonoscopy every 3 years and get a dose of demerol - man they could gouge out my eyes with a pitchfork and I'd say okey dokey tea anyone ?
