Re: What Training Have You Done Today?
Finished the April challenge. I have never tried rowing consistently day after day like that and the last week has been very tough. Also finished the virtual row of the Thames which gave me rather more satisfaction to be honest as the certificate is much more attractive… With only 21k to go to make ...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
I don’t generally post here but today I rowed a half marathon, something I normally do once a year for the May challenge. It’s going to be difficult to fit this in this year so, as my husband is working his way towards rowing a marathon, I joined him and managed to complete it faster than I have man...

Re: Heart rate when training
Can't see anything wrong, on the contrary, save maybe your MHR estimate. If you can hold 145 for a 10k, that must be close to your aerobic limit. So max would be maybe 155, since training pushes AT higher. Which would be neat: rest 55, max 155, range 100; and AT 90% of range. To do a real mhr test ...

Re: Heart rate when training
If MHR can't be found by formula, is hard to find by hard work (limited by technique and strength), it looks like a shaky basis for an entire training program. Could be learning to row is the only option. I am not trying to use it for a training program, just looking at where I am against the range...

Re: Heart rate when training
Sorry, should have been a lot more informative. So, I am a 63 year old woman. LWT and have been rowing consistently for the past 5 or so years, though I did row regularly when I was in my early 40s. My resting heart rate is 55 and I have calculated that my MHR is 165, HRR 110, Aerobic 110-137 and an...

A Garmin band. I think it is accurate.

Heart rate when training
Hi all,
I have what I hope is a simple question. If you are working hard and getting average results but your heart rate is well below UT2 levels for your age and HRR is this a problem with technique or something else?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?
I don’t normally post on here but I was fairly happy with my row this morning. I would never be seen as great at rowing but this is the first year (4th time I have done the half marathon challenge in May) where I haven’t needed to stop and have a short break and I was faster than last year and maint...

Re: Taking time off???
Well that explains a lot. We have just taken 5 weeks off to move from France to Spain and only got the rowing machines moved here a week ago. I couldn't believe how hard it was to get through 5k, a distance that is normally not too difficult, and my split time is down by 3 seconds... Looks like it w...
