I come from a swimming background, where we time our intervals based on a constantly running clock. So I don't even bother setting up intervals in the monitor. Instead, I use the "Just Row" setting and do them on the fly. As long as your intervals aren't too complex, you shouldn't have any trouble. ...

Keep up your current schedule and you'll be there in half that time. My first logged row was 8k on May 8, 2002, so it's taken just under 5 years.

I think we did a pretty good job in the January challenge. It's the first one I've done and it did help get me through what has usually been a tough time of year for me meter-wise. I also crossed the 15 million meter mark during the challenge, 25 million to go for my virtual row around the world. Al...

Thanks, I have to keep up the momentem though, that's the hard part. I'd like to find some people in my area that have Concepts and give a little encouragement.

I'll be on a scuba diving trip for the next couple of weeks, so Charles will have a chance to regain his throne :D My motivation has been to get b...

I have food cravings after my workouts, which average around 16k. Drinking a diluted sports drink during the workout seems to help and definitely helps avoid cramps, which I used to get regularly when I just drank water. I use one scoop of powdered gatorade or accelerade in a large bicycle water bot...

The Watts setting is the only "real" measure of output on the rower (or, properly speaking, ergometer). Anyone who disdains calories but accepts meters or 500 splits as gospel is just proving their ignorance. FWIW, assuming your erg is nearly horizontal, the low friction rollers essentially remove w...
