Concept2 Forum

Thanks for the post SlickC2. I recall answering all the questions from the ER Doctor and seeing a puzzled look on his face when I did not fit into any of the neat little categories of being a candidate for a DVT. The Doctor left and the next few minutes I was being treated by a nurse. She told me ab...

Damn that is rotten luck for Cyclingman1. Thanks for posting it. I 've read some of your numbers and I did feel that you were going to make a name for yourself in National competitions with the C2. I have returned to a much greater emphasis on strength training which seems to be much less affected b...

One of my first concerns after being diagnosed with a DVT was that I would never be as competitive on the ERG as I had hoped to be. I no longer care about that as much as I did at the time. I was on Warfarin for a few days short of one year when I had an appointment with a vascular surgeon. The surg...

I'm still monitoring this thread.

We all seem to have different reactions to our respective DVTs. Hopefully we can learn from each other.

Anyone on this thread ever had a Doppler test done on their clot?

Dehydration could have been a factor in my development of a DVT. I was always very careful to stay hydrated when I was running, but I really slacked off on that when all I did for aerobic exercise was train on my Concept 2. I have ingested a fairly high amount of caffeine for over two decades now wh...

I have a PE also cyclingman1.

I am not a young man, but I agree that I never would have thought that I would have gotten a DVT either.
Four year ago, when I was 56, I ran on or about 5,000 for the year.

Thanks DavidA.

I would be interested to hear from anyone that is still rowing after a DVT. Just general information on how you train
now versus before the DVT would be appreciated.

The flow from what athletes in one sport can do in another sport, when it comes to endurance, is always from running to the other sport. I know that from having been a pretty decent runner, though relatively big, to my inclusion of cycling many years ago and more recently, indoor rowing. The aerobi...

Cyclingman1 your times never cease to amaze me. You stated that you probably averaged 20K per week since you started. You must be cross training with cycling or something else. If not, I suspect we will be hearing from you in the crash-B or at least some top five rows in the self reported ranking li...

Is there a way to set a PM-4 to perform an interval workout like 20 repetitions of 400 meters with a 400 meter recovery
row? I am very new to using the interval function, but noticed that a 100 meter session with 100 meter recoveries was
ended after the fifteenth recovery.

I row in my great room in the mornings and have positioned a light that is near my left shoulder. Without that light I would have much difficulty reading the screen. If I rowed outside like you, I would look for a battery operated lamp/light with a sturdy stand. I would prefer a larger screen to vie...

gregsmith 01748 your marathon time is extremely impressive. Did you do that piece at 48yoa?

No Cyclingman1 I do not participate in the sprints held at Georgia Tech. Three reasons for the above. 1-Even though I registered in 2007, I only became serious about rowing this Spring, Possibly late Winter. 2-February is a terrible time for me due to work considerations. I could make a Sunday sprin...
