Hi Jeremy, Thanks. I like your well rounded program. I did 6x1k and 2x2k two days ago at my 10k goal pace. Yesterday I did 30' on the indoor bicycle, and 3x4k easy this morning on the Skierg for recovery. Hi John, thanks, I appreciate it. These days more interested in touching some different bases ...

I've been doing 5,000m and going to a 10,000m tomorrow. Hi Jeremy, did you do the 10k? I took 2 days off due to hamstring pain, then did a 5k yesterday which felt great, surprisingly at a faster pace than the 2k was. I'm going to use the bike wind trainer this morning, and aim for 8k Sunday. Hi Joh...

Thanks for all the advice. Didn't do much for about five days with the Ski Erg, but yesterday did two 2000m pulls in about ten minutes and didn't get much cardio benefit. Did try to upping the rpm to 50+ based on that video above, with very short strokes, last week. The nordic guy had it at 60+. Ma...

Yes, heart rate is good. And going by feel too, which is maybe even better. I did 3x 10' skierg motion yesterday at 46, 48, 50 spm. My breathing and rhythm are feeling much better. Good that your breathing and rythm are feeling better. That's a good workout. I've been doing 5,000m and going to a 10...

3 10,000m is pretty good.

Heart rate monitor should do it, as far as I'm concerned. I'll try to find a way to get 80-95% of max heart rate.

Hi John, I definitely have found the Ski Erg works the upper body muscles as you describe. It seems more of a power (strength times speed) machine than strictly cardio machine. If that's what you want, it probably will work awsome for you. Not say it's not a good cardio machine as well. In my case, ...

Hi and thanks for the note, I'm about 185 and around 10% body fat, used to lift a lot of weights as a kid, mostly bodyweight exercises and yoga now, not as strong as I look, much more of an endurance guy. The upper body is probably stronger than most newbies to the ski erg for the pull down movement...

Hello Ski Erg Forum I am 44 years old, former runner, retired at 33 due to OA, competed at university track (100m, 200m, 1500s) and in late twenties switched to 5ks and half-marathons. About 5 years ago bought a ski erg while injured from other training but never really used it. Moved across the cou...
