Yes I’m new, as stated been doing erg around 5 or 6 weeks now at around 1 season per week. I’ll normally focus on the 100m and 60sec in 1 session. I think the main issue is cardio as I feel like I’m hitting the wall at around the 250m point, hence the poor 500m pb. Ideally I’d need to drop around 2...

So 2000m and technique according to an above poster? As a minimum ideally, but you might want to work up to it and can break it up to go longer (500M with 2' rest perhaps for faster sessions or perhaps 5' r1' at a slower pace). So 500m x 4 of 2 min rest? How many of those per week should I do and s...

What distance would you suggest?

So the ultra sprints. My favs....but why have you decided to target them? I'm going to be contraversioal here, and apologies if it comes across as a bit too damning, but I think you're heading off down the wrong path. Current results suggest you are new to the erg. Flailing about at the very high r...

Am 190cm 133kgs started around 6 weeks ago currently do 1 rowerg and 1 skierg session a week each. Apart from that do weights 2-3 days a week usually 10-12 reps of 3 sets at moderate to high weights. So for lat pulldown I’d do 6-8 reps of 100kgs Ok, strength definitely not your problem, but very ob...

I've no specific advice - but it does appear that you've got explosive power based on the 100m time of 550+w; but are not able to maintain that. your 60s is a 1:39split - which is 360W, but your 500m is sub 160w - I'm wondering if there's a technique issue here as well as that drop is significant. ...

Have you actually tested your 500m? A 300m sixty seconds, coupled with the above re your 100m, doesn't add up... To answer your question though, there is a massive shift on energy demands from a 100m to 500m. For 100m, I'd rely on getting strong in the gym and practicing a high rate on the Erg. For...

Could be cardio issue. I feel power is decent

As per the subject title, hoping to get serious pb's with those 3 events.

My current PB's (not great)

60sec = 303m
100m = 17.1sec
500m = 2:10.8

Need training advice as best as possible

https://www.rowingindoors.ch/ - keep an eye on this. Looks like this is definitely a live ergo event on 1 March 2025 in Zug, Switzerland although the entry form isnt there at present. https://www.britishrowing.org/indoor-rowing/challenges-and-events/indoor-events-calendar/ - a few here although the...

Any tips to drop 25kgs?

Anyone have a link or info on international events for rowerg or skierg? So far i know the world titles is in Switzerland Feb 20th for indoor rowing. Is there any Opens for Australia, NZ, South Africa, Russia, Iceland? I am open to any country but those would be my top 5 to go to for row or ski. Tha...

Are there any afterparties at the world championships?
