Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Astonishing stuff. Done a few of this the last month and I have to bust a gut to make 8000m. Looking very solid and bodes well for that 2k attempt.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

An unexpected 2K PB today. 6:36.5 https://log.concept2.com/share/2183919/98100316 Can only attribute this to technique improvements as I’m not nearly as fit as two months ago. Certainly not complaining. :) Congrats - I set my previous 2k pm near the end of my marathon prep - so while not 2k sharp -...

Re: One O'Clock Position

I understand what you’re doing and I do exactly the same on short sprints and at the end of a rate 20 workout. Certainly not something to train as usual technique though. I’d try to steer clear of that as it’s poor and inefficient technique, not to mention increasing risk of injury not only inner le...

Re: Analyze and improve my form

It’s very tidy. I’m guessing because you are going quite slow to show form it all seems a bit jerky. When you speed up I’m sure it will all become a more fluid motion. Low hands have already been mentioned. The main thing I can see you are starting backswing as soon as you begin your drive. Try not ...

Re: First 2k Row Kicked My Butt

Love this! I will add the importance of a solid warm up. Just a few stretches is no where near sufficient. I spend 25 minutes warming up prior to a max effort 2k. The first five minutes very gentle paddling (2k+30). Then every 5 minutes a 30’ second blast at race pace between the paddling pace. Ever...

My dad thinks I'm going to have a heart attack whenever he sees me doing intervals. I don't think he's right, but I thought I would donate just in case :D Good Luck! Very wise, thanks Ed.

Great cause Anthony.
Thank you Stu, and don’t worry, I’m a long way off your PB! Sascha on the other hand might eclipse it!
