Can anyone recommend S&C coaches as I’m looking for a plan to be made for myself if anyone can help that would be much appreciated!

I've tacked on the the corresponding Watt and Work levels: 18 - 2.20 - 128W = 7.1 (=128/18) 20 - 2.18 - 133W = 6.7 22 - 2.16 - 142W = 6.5 24 - 2.14 - 145W = 6.0 Not bad, but you can do better than that. As you continue training, see if you can maintain at least the Work 7 seen at rate 18, at the hi...

Most people like slides, some don't. Slides on an erg take about 11 feet total so plan for some room. I'd suggest you asking your coach if you can borrow some, or use some at the club before buying them. The good points are noted above in the thread - more like OTW rowing and easier on your back. A...

In the plan he has split times for each SR which I .. find too fast 😂 never looked into watts… Edited; hope I've understood your meaning. The paces (split times) he suggested are probably in line with what oarsmen of your size and age can do. If you find them too fast, you may have a technique prob...

Welcome! I do pyramids all the time. Similar to yours and I try to keep the watts per stroke steady, so I hold 8 watts per stroke. At 18spm it's 144 watts, at 20 spm it's 160 watts, etc. (you being a lot younger may be able to go for 10+ watts per stroke). I do the pyramid, take a rest break of abo...

14 week plan from one of the coaches at my club ranges from 19 -25 min This suggests he plans to get you racing next year, and that you already have the basic endurance. You need to maintain the stroke at all ratings, this is what counts. The short 1 to 4 minute pieces help in this. On the erg you ...

Welcome to the forum. What's your goal? If you feel you need to work on aerobic endurance, those 19-25 minute sessions are not going to get you there. We mostly talk about 2-3 sessions/week rowing at steady state for 45+ minutes. The pyramid type sessions your coach has provided are good to help yo...

Hi all, I posted a Reddit question a while back and was recommended to come here. I did a L2R (Learn to row) course back in April at my local club since then Im obsessed with rowing! I have competed in Charles Stanley sprints against 2 clubs and soon a 1k back and forth time trial. I’m currently doi...
