You want a Windows laptop with a fully charged battery and preferably plugged into the mains as well. Use the latest update utility with your laptop connected to Wi-Fi, I personally wouldn't use a USB stick to try and do it. A laptop is the safest option. Ah...I am a Mac user so that's not an optio...

Hmm. I didn't bother searching for someone to ask earlier today. I just successfully loaded the firmware onto a USB stick. Thinking I'll go early tomorrow morning and ask them if I can try updating them or else if they have someone who manages this stuff. Seeing as they're running the version from J...

Thanks, I'll mention it to them today then. Yeah I'd rather not risk it, but I just know in the past we've had a couple of older machines stay out of order for months (long before covid even, they tended to get neglected...)

I've just returned to my grad school campus and now have access to several indoor rowers, two of which are PM5s (woohooo!!), but when I connected to ErgData for the first couple times on each I was prompted to update the firmware to Version 171. Both are currently on Version 163. Upon looking more c...

i think he means work up to a 30 min row then up to a 10k row. looking at your 30 min row your distance puts you in the top 20 of the ranked rows so well done again. i would just look at doing meters and possibly look at the beginner Pete Plan the BPP is a 24 week program and is a structured progra...

Hello! It has been a while since I posted on here (my last post was about if I could improve a lot). I lost a lot of motivation after hitting 8:40 (nearly threw up afterwards and could barely walk for nearly half an hour afterwards — I guess I burned myself out mentally a little bit!!! :o ). Anyway...

Update: went to the gym and did 30 min (!), 6140m total starting at 2:30 pace and working down to the last 500 in 2:23. Each 500m was a little faster than the next. I’m really happy, I didn’t think I could do it. So thanks everyone, it really motivated me to get it there and work harder.

Thank you everyone for the replies! I actually have an injury (chronic exertional compartment syndrome, have had surgery that was partially successful and Botox injections that were also relatively successful — but not quite enough for me to run long distances) in my calves. Running is not much of a...

I am 20, and have really not been doing much other exercise other than rowing a few times a week. I usually try to do some pull-ups (2 sets of 6 but trying to increase) and then I walk on the treadmill to cool down but other than that and a handful of runs in the past few months, the only cardio I h...

Hi everyone! I started rowing last April and my first 2k time was 10:44 but I wasn't really sure how good my form was or how hard I could really go. Since then, I've been doing a 2k about 2-3 times a week and have managed to get my time down to 8:44 with splits all between 2:10.7 and 2:12.0 and 26-2...
