Your weight implies a shortish stroke, so at your low ratings (spm) you must be pulling very hard. Did your doc suggest you stay below any particular max HR? Mine said stay below 120, for which I was grateful, it doesn't take much work at all to get there. Do you plan to lose some weight? Exercise ...

Re: Zone 2-3 Heart rate? I can't even stay outta Zone 5

That is important. Remember, pace follows form, so if your form/technique improves so does pace and efficiency. Finding a good breathing rythem (related to your stroke rate) also helps keep HR in check. One of my training buddies even forces his HR via his breathing rythm. But he was an internation...

is the Krew software no longer a thing?

I picked up Krew a few years ago when I started dabbling in rowing.. now have a gym at work and have been given time to go work out, so I'm diving in and enjoying it. I was creating a few of my own workouts in Krew and found I couldnt figure out how to create my own collections of my own workouts. P...
