Finished 7k on Week 5 of BPP. Two months in as a first time rower. 12k will take lots of mental fortitude. 12k isn't easy to start with but it does get easier with repetition. Try and focus on it being 6 x 2k or 4 x 3k just to break it down into bite size chunks. Don't think about how much more you...

There's a ton of info out there on training with HR, and I'm no expert, so I'll just say that if you're interested you should do a bit of research, figure out what your UT1, UT2, and AT ranges are, and try some workouts in each range.

I've noticed lately in various threads the subject of soreness has come up from the rower, i've never once been sore from rowing. Tired, fatigued etc yes, but never sore. If you're feeling sore it is likely a techniqu...

I'm a few years ahead of you in age, but I got into rowing almost 2 years ago consistently with the same attitude you have. I was looking for a great workout that I could prove to myself and my wife would be something I could do with consistency. I've still got a long way to go, but I'm in the best...

Best post I've read so far as a beginner. It's hard to find info that you can understand or that applies to a total beginner.

I can relate to most of what was posted by Lemming because I'm interested he same shape and experience. So this is a bump for this thread.
