Okay, I will be interested in the responses to this thread, as I have experienced the same thing, but for me it's worse for me on the right side. <br /><br />It first started during the last 30,000 meters of the 200,000K holiday challenge, and I had it bilaterally initially. I treated it as an overu...

Diesel,<br />I would be interested in the studies as I am still expeimenting with pre-and post workout meals. I am finding differeences in how I feel are dependent on intensity of the workout, and also time of day. <br />Thanks,

Ducks, I think we have a new PB as team...we are ranked 48 as a team now...ahead of Princeton! Way to go ducks!

For the record John, my diet does not consist of 40% fat. What lead you to make such a conclusion? I was just trying to make the point that newer research is revealing that we have mistakenly taken all dietary fat to be be bad for us, when this is not true.<br /><br />As for the percentage of total ...

John,<br />I am not sure you understand how to correctly interpret the information on a nutrition label. Oatmeal is not a high fat food, and does not contain 18% fat. Also, if you read my post more carefully, you will see that I wrote oatmeal is known to contribute to a favorable lipid profile. That...

Carla,<br />I actually hired an online woman coach who specializes in master's rowers, and she is giving me training plans to help me improve my fitness and erg times. It was very reasonable, and I am hoping that several months of working with her will help me better understand how to train smarter,...

I have been following my coach's plan for two weeks, and today I rowed a personal best in the 2K: 8:23.1, which is 3.4 seconds better than previous PB. I am hoping that I can continue to improve my times! I consider this to be a very respectable time for a 47 year old lightweight, who has been rowin...

I enjoy kayaking, but it isn't particularly aerobic for me most of the time, at least not with the same intensity that rowing is for me. I also enjoy hiking. When I am at the gym, I will sometimes run on the elliptical for cardio instead of row, and I plan to start a jump roping routine for cardio c...

I believe rest days are important, and contribute to good health and improved performance. I take 1-2 per week and occ. take a whole week off if I am injured or suffering the effects of over-training.

Oatmeal is conssidered a nutritous, low gylcemic carb (the old fashioned variety or irish oats, not the instant variety) Also, oatmeal is not 17% fat. 1 c. of cooked, old fashioned otameal contains 2g fat (4%) Oatmeal as also been found to contribute to favorable blood lipid levels.<br /><br />As fo...

Body fat scales are not particularly accurate at measuring body fat %, but they can be helpful at helping you monitor trends, especially if you weigh in at the same time (I have one and I prefer it to a regular scale). They are influenced by hydration status (I weigh more but measure at a lower body...

This link isn't working for me. I keep getting an error meassage when I click on the hyperlink. Any suggestions? <br /><br />Thanks.

As others have mentioned, it's a great low-impact, total body workout. That efficiency does have a certain appeal to me, but I think what has really got me hooked is that I find the rhythm of working out on the erg soothing and meditative in it's own right, even when working hard. I think I've reach...
