Going backwards and forwards on a rowerg in my garage is a hard sell with that sort of cycling in my backyard. I will continue to use the rower as a tool to help support my cycling, but it won't be a focus sadly. Totally understandable and happiness has always got to be the main focus Thanks mate. ...

Update: It's not gone well really. I signed up and then withdrew from the World Championships next month. I could have qualified quite easily, and my coach said I probably would have medalled in my age group, but it felt pretty fraululent to me with my lack of work. We've had a mild and largely snow...

I have been 'head hunted' for this, so I'm now going to be representing Sweden in the 40-49 age category. Given that I've only been on the rower about 15 times since September and then not at all for the previous 3.5 years, I better start working. I'm getting help with coaching to lead me into the C...

Update: still struggling to find the time for rowing. The weather is still autumnal, rather than wintery, so I've been cycling mostly rather than rowing. I've been getting on the machine 1-2 week, always for a 30 minute session. I did a 8568m 30m the other day without any plan and quite easily (it s...

Anyone else believe what I believe that being a 2k is the hardest sufferfest in sport? I’ve never experienced anything that intimidating and the level of pain u have to prepare for. Very much agree. When I rowed last (3.5 years ago), I never managed to put in a decent 2k time. I bottled so many eff...

Nice. That's a lot of power.

Cyclist here who is brand new to the erg (I just got my used c2 last week). 342w is legit power for 2+ hours. I raced Big Sugar last weekend and my NP was about 240w for just over 6 hours with lots of punchy climbing. Decent off season power for me, haven't really done any intervals since July and ...

Rowing was yesterday and is tomorrow morning, but had a belting ride on the gravel bike today, with my highest ever average power for a 2hr plus ride - 342w average for 2hrs 15m. Now if only I could put that out on the rower, I'd be doing a 2hr 22m marathon! Why is it that rowing wattage is lower th...

Update: I'm easing my way back into it with 30r20s, but only one every 3 days at the moment as the weather is still really good for cycling, so I'm out on the bike. I started at 2:00/500m pace, and I'm currently on 1:52 pace. It is still very easy, and my HR average for that is 135bpm, which is stil...

Does anyone have a link to the old version of the app that I can use with my PM4?

I'm quite new to this. Have my PM4, have my cable (including a USB C adaptor) and have my phone. Erg data installed on the phone.

I plug it in, nothing happens. No option on the PM4 for connecting a phone with a cable. No option on Erg Data for connecting a PM4.

Help!

Targeting Luke's WR is a lofty goal. But your 5k after no rowing at all is amazing. There will be gains to be made just from erging regularly. A 5k of 1:35 pace is a similar level as the HM WR, just for your reference. Get your 5k to that level and you can attempt to break the HM WR (and 10k, and 3...

Thanks for the tips folks. I will get organised with the cable, but in the mean time, I'm happy to take photos of the display post workout. I will start tomorrow evening with a 30r20. I always enjoyed those. I will do a very gentle 7500m and see how that feels. It's extremely warm here at the moment...

Picked up my erg with PM4 yesterday and my 10-year-old wanted to demonstration. Very fatigued from a fast 155km on the bike yesterday as well as some more cycling today with a tourist group, but did a reasonably steady 3:13 1000m to keep my daughter happy.

The Erg is purchased and in the garage now. It's a tall model, so it's ruddy massive! It seems to be in more or less perfect condition and the Garmin HR strap paired up with it straight away. Is there an easy way to sych the workouts to Strava with a PM4? I'll start training with it properly in Octo...
