So glad I saw this as I too am looking for this!

Dang! Andreas is a beast! Thanks for sharing the video!

As to damper, I've just been jamming on #1. Newbie ignorance I guess?

What does everyone wear when they erg? Running shoes, cross training shoes, barefoot?

Yes, loving the logbook features!

In fact, just did another 5000m tonight and finished at 24:45.8, which is about 3:30 minutes off the previous time of 28:20.2. Also bumped my ranking from like 544 to 500 lol.

Thanks for the reply! I figured I'm going to follow Beginner Pete for a while to build up my endurance, work on form, and get comfortable. Might conduct a time trial for the 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 after the New Year for you know what and giggles.

Would be cool to develop a championship virtually at least, encourage everyone to tackle the 500, 1000, and longer distances over a period of a few days.

Thank you! I am currently running a 5k around 32 minutes, just started running again and that's very slow for me, so I'm thinking if I just keep plugging away my times will improve.

Thanks! Yeah, 2020 seems to be what popped up in my google search! Thanks for the tips on the form too!

Nevermind, I guess I got my answer after I found this page: https://log.concept2.com/rankings/2020/ ... r=M&page=1

Wow, I have a long way to go!

Hey there! Did my first ever 5,000m on the SkiErg, was kinda fun, kinda sucked, but super glad I attempted it! How is 28:20.2 for 5000 meters?

Also, how's my form looking? (Sorry for the janky angle and footage!)

Put in my first meters for the 2024 Holiday Challenge: 2500m on the SkiErg and 1000m on the BikeErg. Looks like I've got a long way to go to hit 100k!

Hey gang, this is my first post here! Super excited to have found this forum as I recently got a Ski Erg and am really excited to get to training. Tonight, I did a 1,000m time trial after two separate 250m warmups. My time for the 1,000m was 4:18. I'm a 43-year-old male, pretty untrained at the mome...
