Re: Max heart rate

Thank you all for your input.

I'll have to just calm down and build up my fitness slowly.

I am sure you can set a time based race, but you all start at the same time and finish miles apart. I would prefer starting apart and finishing together.

Hi I have Row Pro and I love it. I have only raced online once and that is when I created a race to get under 8:00 and we made it.

Maybe I'll get there by Christmas. How many k's a week do you have to row to get to sub 7:30 and sub 7:00? I have been doing ...

Over the last 6 weks I have given up alcohol, sweets, nibbles and all junk food and have lost 11kg. I starting noticing I was gettin...
