Rating higher needs a bit of training to get used to it and get the benefit out of it. But yeah, try it

Yes, I’ve been doing a lot of 20spm work lately so this might need a bit of adaptation!

Ah, ok, thank you both, I appreciate it. I’ll give that a go and see how I get on.

Could I ask for your thoughts on CTC 300 please? I’ve just done a 2k plan, rowed my all time pb last week at 6.41 and feel as fit as I’ve ever been (faster than in my 20s, 48 now!) Rowed it at df 135. I recognise I’m not very strong (years of running, don’t do enough/any weights) and consequently m...

Thank you Mike

Hi, I’m at the NEC for a couple of days. No Concept2 in the hotel gym. Does anyone know of a gym nearby that has them and allows 1/2 day membership? Cheers!

Same, I’m not on Facebook so it’d be great to have them continue here

Hi, are the challenge, details, and updates going to be posted here in the future or has it all moved to Facebook? Thanks

Hello! I’ve joined (well, actually I joined a couple of months ago but I’ve only just discovered this thread, sorry). Hope that’s ok. I did some erging in my late 20s, then mainly running until last year when I bought a C2. Planning to do ctc every month. At the moment my only limiting factor is the...

Thanks, yes, I think you’re both right!

Hi, This is a bit random but does anyone know if there exists a kind of hood or box I could put over my PM5 so that it only shows the top row (time) and bottom (stroke rate and heart rate) when it’s on maximum size display? It’s so I can do heart/stroke rate limited sessions without getting distract...

I’ve really enjoyed reading the debate above, thanks to all for your thoughts. Mike, I totally take your point – my PBs at 30mins (my favourite and most-rowed session both now and in my 20’s) have all come without intent. For whatever reasons the cardio-respiratory-musculo-biochemical stars have ali...

Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply and robustly discuss this. Interesting to hear so many opinions. Perhaps I should have been clearer in my original post; you're absolutely right to say that I could increase my aerobic base (!) but the reality is that I'm a full-time NHS consultant and...

Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for your replies. Sorry for not posting sooner. This was my first post and I hadn’t realised it had been approved and was live!
I’m at work now but will look forward to read through everything this evening.
Many thanks again!
