Re: Help with goal

Just read the posts, last week I decided this bit of kit won't beat me. So set gopro up and filmed a few strokes, looks like I was pulling a tad to early. I've started to use it for 5 min a day and gunna add 5 min each 2 weeks (upto 30min) If not comfortable then increase by 2 min. I've set my indoo...

Re: Help with goal

No help from any rowing club, so I'm thinking of selling my rower and opting for a Wattbike instead. Don't need a coach or set up for that, just a shame, was kind of excited to try rowing on water but obviously its just for the chosen and elite athletes. Something is wrong in my rownig technique as ...

Re: Help with goal

Two visits to local rowing club (LVRC) and after four or five E-mails, no reply's, absolutely no help at all! Seems like its a closed sport. Looks like its Dark Horse tutorials and hope for the best!

Re: Help with goal

There is a local rowing club near me in the docks, may see if I can get 1hr with a coach and nail the form, done this with swimming, running and a bike fit, all paid dividends.

Re: Help with goal

Point taken, I will film myself and compare to the videos, today felt comfortable no aches or pains. So your saying I need to drive harder and slow down? I was just using medium force at what seemed a comfortable pace. Not sure what 2W/kg is and where I can see it on erg data. Thinking maybe bin thi...

Re: Help with goal

Hi, I've changed profile so you can see it, I do a fairly heavy manual job so getting on the rower shouldn't be a problem. The 138bpm was from back when I started out seemed to be the best HR for endurance work.

At the moment it says just ride, needs to be just row and then upload what ever firmware update it needs ...
