Re: 11 inactive sedentary years

IMO... I wouldn't do any structured plans. Just commit to doing a 30 min row every day. No HR, no target, just get on and do it. Slow cadence. If that is too difficult do 2x15' with a minute rest to stretch. Focus on good form. If you can do this for a month then can start increasing the time. For h...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

Have been doing lots of straight 10k's since getting the C2 in Dec. Throwing in these rest breaks to stand and stretch really made a difference. This will probably be my main workout from now on.

I have had a (thankfully) very rare day and HDed after 700m into a 6k. No reason other than I just couldn't be bothered. I slept very deeply last night, dragged myself out of bed and reluctantly got on the erg, so it's probably a good thing that I didn't try and battle through. A subtle, but very i...

Re: 10K tips requested

Man I don't see how you can do such low strokes/min. I tried 20 s/m but felt like I was really forcing myself to halt the fluid motion, very jerky. 24 s/m is very "slow" to me but I can generate a lot of wattage when I focus on technique. My Natural stroke seems to be around 26 s/m. I'm learning so ...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

Trying to lower my stroke rate, this felt pretty natural. Reach still .7m so need some work on that. This is the best I've done for a 10k. Just got the concept2 in December. 45:46.9 10,000m 2:17.3 135 764 23 157 9:05.3 2,000m 2:16.3 138 775 23 159 9:06.6 4,000m 2:16.6 137 772 23 152 9:01.4 6,000m 2:...
