Re: 1,000,000 meter club

I was looking for somewhere to post the fact that I have just done pretty much the same as this today. 1,000,000 meters in 25 weeks, started on the 17th of December and 25 weeks later (with a 3 week layoff due to a rowing related back injury) have completed the million. I'm rather pleased with myse...

Re: Pardon the sensitive topic. Question on ED and rowing

Perhaps I'm sharing too much info but I'm going to share anyway. I can't exactly answer your question but about one year ago I started exhibiting symptoms of ED and it really bummed me out. That lead to me getting checked out by doctors. I was overweight and had high blood pressure so they said eith...

1,000,000 meter club

Shameless boasting: I just reached my first million meters today in just less than 6 months! It's a feat I'm extremely proud of having never rowed a day before Oct 27, 2015. I reached the goal rowing a 10k today. I was going for a pb but burned out a little too fast and came up short by 8 seconds. I...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

First post by a newbie...Having just started rowing on an erg in late October, I'm now up to 750,000 meters in just over 4 months. At 45 years old, I have lost 45 lbs since I began a fitness routine in Sept. The erg is now my everyday workout. I mostly manage to row 8500m 6 days/week. I throw in a 1...
