Hi, Does anyone else here use the app 'Meters'? I find it useful for recording my workouts since I usually have my iPod at the gym with me anyway and the user interface is (mostly) intuitive. My one problem is that it won't sync or upload to the Concept2 website. I would normally just write them dow...

Well, it would likely be easier to get noticed rowing in the country you live in.

Make sure you are replacing all of the calories you burn within about 60 minutes of your workout. For example, have a snack before a workout, drink some gatorade/etc during a workout, then post-workout get some carbs and protein into you. This works best if you can calculate the calories you burned ...

If I row well, stay right on the beat, and row a FM right through, I can do 1:48/2:32 listening to "Steamroller." If I row well, stay right on the beat, and row 60min right through, I can do 1:44/17.3K listening to "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy." If I row well, stay right on the beat, and row a 2K r...

But I gave it a try.

If first you don't succeed, try, try, again.



So now we have round two.

This is the only part of ranger that I have ever respected.

Hi, and welcome! The Pete Plan ( http://thepeteplan.wordpress.com/the-pete-plan/ ) is a good beginner's plan, or you could also try the Concept2 interactive training plan ( http://concept2.co.uk/training/interactive ) which takes into account current fitness levels. Also, if you head on over to the ...

I am 5'10 as well, and while I started rowing at 166lbs, since I went from sedentary to rowing, I quickly lost 25lbs and have hovered around 136-140lbs since. Going lwt is something that I have thought about a lot for the past two years, but currently I am not doing it, for a few reasons. 1) I want ...

Another round in the week of testing! new 1' PB: 1:39.2 or 302m. I feel so slow comparing myself to all you guys but at least it is a PB.

60' rate 22 test today: went from 2:10.6 to 2:07.8 since November. I'm pretty pleased, but wish I had known the cutoffs for my age/weight category started at 2:07.2!

Physiologically, even though it may not feel like you're doing enough, it's almost certain that you are. As an athlete, the struggle's almost always to hold yourself back - you want to see immediate results, but that's not always going to be the case. There's a reason that the successful internatio...

The accepted logic at the elite levels is that for most programs, the hard stuff (i.e. intervals and AT work) is not hard enough and the easy stuff (distance rowing that accounts for most of the volume) is not easy enough. You honestly don't want to do your distance rowing (anything more than an ho...

So, I have some questions about HR training. My coach has started asking us to follow the "Categories of Training Intensity" heart rate guidelines, which are as follows: cat 1 - max speed - max heart rate - example 6x500m cat 2 - 6k-8s - max heart rate 180-200 - example 6x3min cat 3 - 6k-2s - max he...

4x9 minutes
2'@16, 2'@18, 1'@20, 2'@18, 2'@16

My coach wants us to focus on high intensity, low rate pieces. I found the 16 very frustrating - the split was so far off my 2k goal! I just have to remember it does have a purpose, I suppose.

It is a tradition from on the water, but the way that I have always understood it is that the quick, shorter strokes at the beginning of the race piece get the flywheel moving much the same way they would a boat. I have always found that doing 3/4, 1/2, 3/4, full at the start of a race piece brings ...

Thanks H20, that's interesting reading. I'll check my library and see if they have that book. I'm still sitting just under 140 these days, so at least I am not losing weight!
