Interesting to see the workouts from experienced rowers! Now, from the opposite end of the spectrum, I did my first ever intervals yesterday - 10x500m, 2 min rest. I'm more of a steady state dude in general and this destroyed me. Fell asleep on the bed after my shower in the middle of the afternoon...

Third session in 8 days last night, in my glorious return to rowing after a 4 year absence :D First 3 sessions have been 30,40 and now 50 minutes (11.4k). My very own machine is arriving tomorrow and I can't wait. Will probably go for 60 minutes just to round things out before looking at other types...

Any other zwift racers on here? I was recently moved up to B class and have found it pretty much soul destroying if I'm honest, lol. Gonna have to take a different approach to my training when the erg arrives (13 week waiting list! FML!) anyway so may as well start something different, namely not do...

Made it to the gym yesterday to use their rower again. 40 minutes, easy pace, probably 10 minutes of form drills in there. More importantly I set the drag factor and positioned my ankles/feet correctly and everything felt better. Came home feeling great, woke up today feeling great! Gutted I won't g...

Super annoyed with myself for increasing resistance and rowing too long last night. I'm 41 years old, with a history of sports related injuries and creaks and rattles and I should know better - hell, I DID know better as I drove to the gym but after 5 minutes, then 10 minutes I felt so good I just c...

Cheers dangerscous. Can definitely feel a little soreness down at my old injury this morning. Totally to be expected tho - I did too much for my first time back. Plan was 20 minutes super easy, minimum resistance. Ended up doing the majority of the workout on level 4, felt great but like my legs we...

All good advice so far! Just back from the gym. Happy to say after 4 years of zero rowing I was able to row for 30 minutes, 6.3k at a relaxed pace of 2.21. All that time cycling has my cardio vascular system in a different league from when I was lifting+rowing - my hr was never over 120bpm, which is...

Slides help?

4 years ago I was forced to quit the erg with a herniated disc, the year after that I was forced to quit weight lifting altogether as my disc refused to heal. I took up cycling and didn't look back and my disc has since healed/popped back in. While at the age of 41 with a bunch of injuries behind me...
