Just did another 4min test the other day and improved my distance to 1175. I was in pain afterwords but nowhere near as bad as what it was a couple weeks ago. I changed shoes and sat further up on the seat, but it could just be that my legs need to get used to rowing at higher speeds. Thanks for all...

Thanks for all your help! Here is a video of me doing a 4min test, I am pretty sure I was at a steady 1:45-1:48 pace through the whole video. This video was taken during the first minute or minute and a half of the test. I ended up only finishing with 1135 meters. I was pain free all through the 4mi...

If I were not in pain I could have a conversation with someone probably about 30 seconds to a minute after I get off the machine. I used to run a lot and play a lot of basketball, but no matter how many sprints I would use to do or how hard I played I would never be in pain right after. I think it i...

Sorry I meant 20 min. I am 5'10 age 30. 1.45 for all 6 is probably the best I could do right now. I could go faster for 1 for sure, but I couldn't keep that up for 6. But yes anytime I start dipping under 1.45 pace for at least a minute I will walk off the machine in utter pain. It has been going on...

If I do fast workouts on the row machine, when I get off I fall to the floor in pain. My upper quads cramp all the way through my knees. It is about 15 minutes of pure pain and then it goes away. It doesn't happen if I do longer rows that are more consistent, the other day I did a 5K at 10min and no...

Thanks for your help. Can you help me out with understanding the pete plan? The first day of the first week i would do 500m 8 times then rest for 3min and 30 secs and then do 2000m at 2/3 pace? The second day of the first week I would do 15000m at a steady pace? Now i am not really understanding the...

We just started a new contest at our gym, the goal is to have the best 1000m time. I have never gotten on a rowing maching before and on my first test I got a 3:43. I am not sure but I am guessing that is about average. I am 5'10 and weight around 165, I am wondering what type of training I would ne...
