Hey everyone, I was reading about Craftsbury Sculling Center, and I found that they had an internship offer. Sounds interesting to me, I think I will be applying for the end of this summer. I am currently a high school junior and I would be able to spend two weeks there as a first-time intern. Anyon...

Hey everyone, Question about the Rojabo testing. I understand there is a power test and an endurance test. Are these done on the same day? Within a couple of minutes? I'm not sure what the gap between the two is supposed to be/if it matters. Sorry if this appears on Rojabo itself, I'm trying to unde...

Nfeht, I made a route to the boathouse on the mapmyride.com website (thanks for showing me that!) The route is about 12 miles one way, I am considering using the biking to replace some of the steady distance portions of the Pete Plan for logistical reasons. Atorrante, yes, it is a strange sounding p...

Hey, Yes, I have been trying to gain weight. I weighed 138 pounds at the beginning of the season, so I have been making some progress. I'm still unsure on the best way to go about gaining weight without gaining fat, but I guess that's a topic for another thread. (If you know of one, could you show m...

Hey everyone, Spring season is slowly (sadly) coming to an end, and as a high school sophomore I am getting ready to make a big push for next year. This summer I will be sticking to a training plan. I don't have a clear goal yet, so far it is just "become a much better rower". I have been lurking on...

Hey,

I am thinking about testing myself on 6k meters. I have only done one 6k test during the fall season. What kind of strategies work best on 6k? I would imagine they are a bit more varied than the 2k strategies.

Thanks,

Ruderer

I haven't really gotten much of a training philosophy or plan out of my coach...is the only way to reduce the risk of overtraining...training less?

Hey, My on the water rowing season starts tomorrow (Finally!) and I have been wondering how I could supplement my on the water training with some indoor training. I have two reasons for doing this...I was sick for 2-3 weeks, and mostly unable to train (now looking to make up lost ground), and I have...

After spending some time on the UK forums I stumbled upon a thread that perfectly answered my question.

If anyone is interested it is right here:

According to this slide rowing should be fine, with a couple of static sessions mixed in.

Well, thanks for the replies. I guess I will find out the answer to my question through actual training.

Have a nice weekend,

Ruderer

Thanks for your reply,

If you trained on a dynamic/slide erg, would you feel well prepared for testing on static ergs?

This is essentially what I am trying to find out...I'm looking at the UK forums...but I can't find a "Search" button

Hey, I am a high school rower, and I will soon (hopefully) be acquiring my own Concept2 erg. At my school we do a lot of testing/training on static ergs, so results such as my 2k time are extremely important. I have only rowed on slides for a few minutes, for fun, but I could feel how it is much mor...
