Another 60 min PR: Old= 15222m (3 days ago) New= 15607m, 24 spm, av hr=175

New 10K Personal Best: Old= 38:40.0 New= 37:59.3, 24spm congrats! Your do for another: You should be able to knock 5 minutes off that HM time no problem Thanks Nosmo. Yeah... that HM is very old, I'll probably get around to doing one sometime soon. My next goal is to lower my sprint pieces!

New 10K Personal Best:

Old= 38:40.0
New= 37:59.3, 24spm

Three new PBs in the last two weeks (in the order done): 10k: old pace 1:57.1 new pace 1:56.0 30 min: old pace 1:54.4 new pace 1:53.0 60 min: old pace 1:57.4 new pace 1:56.0 Obviously, the 10k should be faster. I believe all should be faster since my 6k pb was holding 1:49.2. Still, I am a much bett...

Yep, the 2k wasn't 100%, but it was still a personal best meaning that I've made some good improvement. I've been training for a 6k for the last few months, the 2k distance didn't hurt nearly as bad as it used to!

HAHA, no I rowed a 2k for time, then had a 10 minute cooldown, and then rowed a 500 for time. My 2k splits were 1:41, 1:42, 1:43, 1:42 I believe.

Two PBs in the same workout! Don't know what I was thinking, 2k in 6:49.9 and 500m in 1:30.1. Old PBs were 6:53.4 and somewhere around 1:31 in the 500m.

Goal of 6:35 for the 2k in February

Did my first Half Marathon today.... started off at about 2:10/500m then gradually lowered it down. Did the last 5k fairly hard and finished the entire piece in 88 mins 21 secs at 20spm. Overall I was fairly happy with the result, average heart rate was 152, probably could have gone harder but I jus...

Goodluck! I'll be sittin right next to ya trying for 21:30. HOCR!

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that has difficulty in getting to higher ratings. I'm very tall, 6'7", and feel the most comfortable between 21 and 24 SPM. While really trying to crank it, I can get the rate up to around 28 or so but any higher and I really start to rush the recovery. Bei...

Here's my plan for a sub-21 6k: -2 days a week of 60" steady state erging -1 day a week of holding 1:45 pace for as long as I can.... hopefully a little longer each week -1 day a week of random interval workouts such as 3 x 10" pieces or 8 1000m pieces -3 days of OTW rowing each week One day will be...

New 6K PB.... 22:24.2 at 23 s/m in a sweltering hot basement

Hello all, I got into erging last winter and have progressed to OTW rowing as of two months ago. Yesterday was my first regatta and I rowed in a novice 4 and a rec mens 8 and overall it was a blast! There is PLENTY of room for improvement to be sure. Like I said, I'm a newby and don't have that much...

I'm always looking for creative workouts and old favorites to help keep me motivated while on the erg. Anybody care to throw any out there? My favorite at the moment is to warmup, then do a 6k, with a 100m sprint every 500m, then cool down. For example, hold normal pace for 400 m, then sprint at a s...
