thank you kerry!! i'll be watching your progress too!!

2K time trial done 8:46.8

a little disappointed but I really do hate the long hard sprints. Started well, maintained pace actually very well. struggled a bit in the third quarter but finished the last 500 strong. was very very happy to be finished

Ugh, so do a time trial sooner rather than later - got it. i'll try it this week. I hated racing 5k's, i just really don't enjoy hurting for that length of time :) i really enjoyed half marathons so much more, the longer sustained effort was much easier for me to bear rather than the short super fas...

Thank you! i was just watching a Dark Horse Rowing video that mentioned the Hornet Watersports gel pad!! I'll definitely look into that one I do have a pair of lifting gloves from way back when.... I'll try to find them and see if they make a difference So you guys just don't drink anything while yo...

Hey all, i'm back! After another month of rowing (3x per week, two steady rowing sessions and one interval session each week) here are some more stats: 2/3 35:00min 6903m ave pace 2:32 ave stroke rate 24 ave power 99w 2/6 35:00min 7156m ave pace 2:26 ave stroke rate 24 ave power 111w 2/10 35:00min 7...

Thank you for your response, and no - i was not offended in any way I did up my distance by an additional 500 yards this past weekend. I also reduced my breaststroke for two of my sets and increased my freestyle yards by 100 yds per set. It didn't feel hard. I'll keep going like this I think, but at...

Yeah, I don't think I'm setting any records! i think my overall pace seems so slow because of the breaststroke I'm doing. I actually don't feel to slow on the freestyle. but I could think about increasing my pace a bit. I've thought it would probably be better for me to reduce my breaststroke to 100...

Thank you for the drag factor explanation!! I have been working in intervals as well, I have done a set of 6 500m intervals with a three minute rest in between each one?? or a one minute rest, don't remember. I also have done a workout where i do intervals of 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min and then back...

just checking in with you guys, I'm not sure how/what stats to post but, here are four workouts I have done, just steady rowing, since I first jumped on this forum: 1/18 20:00 3503m ave pace 2:51/500m ave stroke rate 23 s/m ave power 70 watts drag factor 119 1/20 22:00 3950m ave pace 2:47/500m ave s...

Just wondering if there are any swimmers on here. I injured myself running last fall (Oct 22) and was in a walking boot for two months. I was allowed to swim so starting in mid Nov I started to swim two times per week. I have been swimming twice per week since then. Currently I swim 2000 yds in abou...

Thank you both for your responses! It seems like a running analogy would be that ideally you want to run with a cadence around 180, but that you kind of find your number in that general area, my running cadence was a steady 172-176 and that felt good and comfortable to me. Stroke rate per minute see...

Okay guys, still learning and trying to figure things out. thank you for all of the responses about my feet/heels. very helpful! alot of you guys suggested lowering my stroke rate to 20-22 spm. i have completed two steady rows of 20 minutes each. I pulled 3500m the first row and 3950 the second, so ...

Thank you, so i need to connect the app to the rower first, and then do the work? I think that was my problem, i did the workout and then tried to connect the app and nothing happened. i manually added my workout to the logbook last night when i finally gave up. if i connect first then it will log t...

So, some follow up questions. I have watched at length many youtube videos from Concept 2, Dark Horse Rowing and Tall something or other rowing videos. I've learned alot. My rower arrived and it is assembled :) i have created an account here on the forum page, also in the Concept 2 logbook page and ...

Thank you all so much! I am not currently in a boot, just got out of it, but it was a tibial stress fracture. I'm currently swimming three times a week for about 45 minutes. I really don't enjoy it, but trying to make myself like it :) I'm looking forward to the rower arriving, in the mean time, I'l...
