Re: Why Have Unverified Results On The Rankings?

I wasn't aware that anyone except a race organizer (e.g. British Rowing for BRIC), the ErgRace app, or C2 employees (upon request) can cause a score to reflect "Race" - do you know differently, Mike?

Re: Why Have Unverified Results On The Rankings?

Records already require verification. There are a lot of other loopholes, the two that I most frequently hear about are the questions of whether lightweights are lightweight and of PED testing, but they are verified pieces at least. With meters challenges, the BikeErg presents a hurdle. The only way...

Re: Why Have Unverified Results On The Rankings?

My 30:00 piece from the 2025 season was unverified because I did it in a race that doesn't send results to C2, and I don't have a verification code. But it was publicly witnessed and is available on the ErgSprints website. I think I have some results from earlier years in the same boat.

Re: 30R20

Many thanks again for the replies. I thought a training plan was worth a go as I’m in good aerobic shape but lack power (too many years running without doing any weights). Hopefully the plan will help a bit. I agree with you about the longer rows and I’ve avoided them (at the suggested rate/pace an...

Does the paid version of ErgZone have the data that you're looking for?

Re: Thoughts on BRIC 2024

Survey link: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/8114634/British-Rowing-Indoor-Championships-2024 Most of the competitions that I have been to haven't had showers, changing rooms, or cooldown ergs, although I wouldn't say no to any of those! Overall, it was very well organized, and I really appreciate th...

Re: Steady state pacing

My typical "steady state" is at 50% of 2k watts, and occasionally slower if there are other factors (like adjusting to heat). About once a week, I will have a steady session that Stu would call UT1/gray zone and my sweep coach would call hard steady state, where I'm more like 60-62% of 2k watts. If ...

Re: Indoor events

It's the wrong time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It seems as though when the weather is good to row on the water, there are water regattas. When it gets cold and people move to indoor training, there are indoor races. I would expect for information to be published closer to the race dates.

Re: Layback help

I've never looked at the stroke length metric, but if you're simply looking at the athlete, I would expect a shorter stroke when sprinting. Phil Clapp recently posted video of his 500m world record that would be a good watch (IG bigphil90, and also on Youtube under Cameron Buchan's account). The ke...

Re: Layback help

Sprinting for me seems to be completely different. I find that when I try to increase my power significantly I tend to start lengthening my stroke as well. Is this normal? I assume it's not desirable to have different stroke lengths for sprints at the end. Or maybe it only matters if you're on a bo...

Re: How is my Form?

Solid. Body angles and sequencing are both good. You're delaying body in the drive, which will effectively use your legs, and you set your body position during body over on the recovery and then don't move it going into the catch. Shins are a good angle at the catch. I actually don't have any recomm...

Re: Strength training for rowing

What does a typical week look like for you right now? I'm about to hit deadlifts and squats in the same session, and earlier this week did intervals the day after a full-body strength session, but I've built up to the volume/intensity over time and know it works for me. I'd personally add pulls to t...

Re: P/AR all-time 2k leaderboard

It's going to be really hard to get widespread buy-in for a ranking system that places Rich Cureton above Josh Dunkley-Smith. In essence, P/AR scoring yields a 'healthy ageing ranking'. As such it is intended for athletes who are well 'over the hill'. Athletes in their early thirties or younger are...

Re: P/AR all-time 2k leaderboard

Slides continue to provide an advantage for longer pieces, just not as marked as the advantage for sprints. The slower records are a matter of a smaller pool as well as fewer people taking them seriously. It's going to be really hard to get widespread buy-in for a ranking system that places Rich Cur...

Re: Can you row with one leg, and what are the tricks to doing it right?

I've heard people recommend the skateboard trick, but I find that it starts to shift positioning pretty quickly and then I keep having to readjust. I also worry about picking up bad habits with that. I have had okay success with partial slide rowing, but that depends on what your knee problem is and...
