Concept2 Forum

I got seduced by cycling - always enjoyed it but then found a group of mates who went out regularly and the summer was hot and dry and then I signed up for a 100 miler and never looked back. I really enjoyed the rowing and thought I’d pick it up again in the winter but I bought an indoor turbo train...

Oh well, onto eBay it goes then!

Thanks for all the replies and inputs - seems like it was a topic that caught some interest! Just to clarify, after going for one of the ranked pieces my legs have felt done in straight after and wobbly on occasion but I've never had the 'have trouble walking normally" feeling the next day. Lots of ...

When I do vigorous exercise I usually expect to feel it the next day, though previously my exercise regimes have been few and far between. With my recent introduction to indoor rowing (1 month in) I feel that I put a lot of effort in and am gasping for breath and dripping with sweat at the end, (alt...

What's the RPE - something like perceived effort or something?! Also might steal that tactic of half slides for accelerating!

6x500m - df127 - 285w - r26 (Target was 1:47 avg, so i'm pleased) RPE 8.7 (half slide sprint strokes to get the clock down fast from standing start in the last interval, hence the 29 spm) 1:47 is damn hard work - I can do that for one 500m not 6!!

Very interesting piece, thanks - am up for trying it - any idea at what pace I should be aiming for during this - ie trying to do a similar level to my best 30 minutes or a slower pace? % of max / UT1 / AT etc as it sounds like it should be quite a painful piece! Q suggests 2 different levels for d...

Thanks Tom, makes sense to me! I always feel time short but when I think about doing the half marathon i'll start thinking about this!

Impressively consistent! - am very new to this so it may be obvious but is there a general aim to row at a low spm? In order to increase strength? Low stroke rate training is really important to get a strong/powerful stroke and to reinforce good technique - helps you concentrate on the effectivenes...

Day off from the erg. All heavy lifting today for the most part, 1hr:20min total. Started out with 20 mins weighted pack stair climbing. 3x10-9-8 barbell standing overhead shoulder presses. 3x10 barbell bent over rows. 3x10 barbell upright rows. (added a half rep to these between reps, really fatig...
