8/17 - 15k erg (3 x 5k, 2:00 between for water and towel off). Hot one today; didn't get into the garage until close to lunch so it was a bit toasty. Felt a tad bit of soreness / fatigue from yesterday's strength work, however it seemed to lessen as the session went on. Pretty solid work overall; e...

Its just attempts at indicating the training stimulus. Hopefully my memory serves well, and this is fairly accurate, even if simplified. UT1/ UT2 -> Utilization. Supposed to improve how muscles use oxygen. This can happen a few ways. Long slow distance results in an increase of capillaries around th...

Bumping the thread with a couple questions in case BTH is still monitoring it. 1) What stroke rate was the 5k done at? 2) Have you done any shorter tests like max watts, 1 min, or 500 meters? If I had to guess, based on your 5k run time, your ability to apply power might be an area that could see so...

I'm wondering if I could have some insight on how the following pieces would relate to 2k and 5k splits:

5x5 Minutes (5'R)

Wow, I just googled that site you mentioned and its perfect. Thanks so much!

I hope that people will use this to determine if they should be improving power or endurance. You can also set goals based on splits. Fo...

Hi guys, Earlier in the year I posted a survey on the reddit rowing sub, asking people to report on their erg scores at different distances. (Low-pull, 500, 2k, etc). I was thrilled to get roughly 240 responses but I'd like to have even more data/larger sample size. Here's a link to it: https://docs...
