Re: Endurance erging - A place to discuss 42, 50, 100k upwards.

Training for my first FM, and was wondering what drag factor people typically use for such endurance pieces? I've been using my usual DF of 120 so far, which has been fine up to HM distance. As I go beyond that though, would I benefit from a lower drag or just stick to what I'm used to?

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

Hi all, Thanks to everyone who works to maintain this great monthly challenge. I enjoy contributing most months, and have often benefited from the inclusive rule of a guaranteed seat in the boat for lightweights. I have a suggestion which may have been discussed previously, which is to make the comp...

Re: Short rower thread

I wonder if there’s a way to filter the rankings by height, in the same way you can by weight. The log asks for height in the profile section, so they presumably have that data on most people. I know comparison is the thief of joy and all that, but it would be interesting to see where I rank against...

Re: Short rower thread

Thanks everyone, that's really helpful advice. I have been keen to focus on my technique early on after watching a few videos suggesting that it's even more important for shorties: https://youtu.be/fXQf86lOAHY https://youtu.be/13UNAIGEAXI However, it's good to know that as long as my force curve loo...

Short rower thread

I've been rowing a couple of months, and absolutely love it. As a shorty rower (48yo, 5'7", 62kg), I've tried to focus on getting my technique as good as I can in these early days. Based on helpful advice here, I've followed some videos and have been using the force curve to track my form. One quest...
