If you're a world championship hopeful surely you've done enough erging to know what sort of training you should be doing. As for motivation I'm not sure what so say as I genuinely enjoy erging. Good music or Netflix might help but if that's not enough then just remind yourself of your goal and put...

Hello there. Why not follow the Pete Plan? There is a forum under training for that with a bunch of people doing the plan in different stages at different paces. Also, maybe invest in RowPro software to make it more interesting and you can race against other people. David I will be training for Clu...

My coaches told me I won't be able to row with the team during the spring because I will age out (I'm a junior rower). I just signed with UM so I will be rowing there next fall, but I'm wondering what workouts I should do during spring, how to stay motivated on the erg because it's just me, etc.. ho...

Was thinking of doing this for the negative split:

6000- 2:02
5000- maintain pace
4000- 2:01
3000- maintain pace
2000- 2:00
1000- as fast as possible/negative split/under 1:57

Also my 30min steady state is a 2:06.5

My coaches think it's the best goal for me bc the last test I hadn't had the training (was out with a concussion 2 full weeks prior to the test) but now that I've been training consistently they think I can do better. Also I was trying a ketogenic diet at the time (first few days of it) so I was pre...

Before I started rowing last winter, I was 19% body fat, 152lbs, eating about 2000cal every day. Now I'm 23% body fat and 175lbs, training hard twice a day 6 days a week, plus weightlifting, now eating 3000cal and I can't lose weight. I thought rowing was supppsed to make you leaner?

2:03 was very challenging for me. By the time I got off the erg I couldn't walk, felt dizzy, nauseated, and shaky.

Its my first fall season. I rowed last spring so I'm familiar with lactic acid buildup during 2ks but what's the deal with 6ks? I thought they were supposed to be more aerobic than anaerobic. About 3000m in I can feel the lactic Acid move from my legs to my stomach, so I get some acidity like I'm ab...

I have an erg test on Tuesday. My last one last month was 2:03.2 so this time I will be aiming for 2:00.2. I'm the kind of person who does better starting at a higher split, then negative splitting at the end so if anyone knows how I should pace this out per 1k that'd be great!

Yeah I know I should be going sub 24 for 6k based on 2k but I took some time off due to a back injury so I'm not as in shape as I used to be. 6k test is next week

Been doing 4 on/1 min rest x 6 @ 2:03 pace @19spm. What if I did a 6k @ 28spm, continuous/no rest? Since it's higher rate should my split goal be lower? First 6k. 19y, 170lb female. 5'11

If I pull a 2:04 for 5000m but then bring my split down to a 1:52 for the last 1000, what will my final time be? 19y old hvwt female, first 6k test. 2k PB 7:14
