Re: Ranger's training thread

Hi, has anyone in this discussion of training regimes and technique taken into account the percentage of work done that is actually going into 'moving' the erg/chain? One of the Golden danish lw's had it measured at 17% (not the erg though). Biking is something like 25%, running may reach 50. Kind r...

Re: The Two Types of Training

This is not the topic of the thread, but I will answer You: They all took EPO. At least he didn't wimp, and when they removed him form the annals (but not Pantani, Ullrich, Hinaut, Mercx etc. ) Riis told them they could go get his yellow jersey in the garage, where he put it in a box, :-)

Re: The Two Types of Training

Ok sneleopard, jeg var faktisk ikke ironisk; har læst en del af korrespondencen og ja: ranger er et mærkeligt væsen, en batman måske i sin grotte, uvenlig - provokerende- måske også løgnagtig, men han er også en bemærkelsesværdig atlet, hvad enten han så lyver eller ej. Og lad os så holde tråden, :-...

Re: The Two Types of Training

Snowleopard - I was not ironic. As for the matter of training there is no sure knowledge of the best path, and one road allmost for sure does not fit all. Winning thew TdF in 1996 Bjarne Riis was sucesfull riding a high gear demanding huge strengt and low kadence, something he had trained for for ma...

Re: The Two Types of Training

Dear Snowleopard I don't think ranger is as stupid in his training approach as some would like him to be. He has written posts that show, that he knows exactly what he is doing. It may be so, that he will never row below 6.30 og reach 6.16, but his 6.41 is nevertheless impressive and much better tha...

Re: The Two Types of Training

Dear Ranger You aim high and therefore dare take take the risk of failure. That is something in itself, some very talented athletes never got to that point. An average of your results this year is of minor importance in this matter. Nobody can take the 6.41 away from You. Your own explanation of the...

Hi Ranger Rich Fabulous effort and I certainly believe You can do better. The man from the cellar (great Youtube videos, more of those please) show up to settle things, I like that! Zapotek, the bumblebee and You are a great inspiration to newbies like me, who will never achieve anything in the eyes...

Hi Ranger I wish the best for you in Cleveland, would be great to see you break the WR and a sub 6.30. Being a dane I can tell you that Eskild E. is busy doing duathlons (mountainbike/run) besides rowing, taking part in tv dance-shows and earning money being speaker at conferences etc. So maybe he w...

Hi everybody, I am a total newbie and nobody in rowing, admitted. I find the tread interesting. The various approaches to training are discussed in other disciplines to, cycling and triathlon for instance. Also, Ranger did actually achieve some fine results, also in 2009, though not near what he pre...
