Minor tongue procedure on Tues, so I'll be taking most of this next week off. 10k check today.

Back again. After spending the last few days/weeks just cycling, I felt like rowing again this morning. I'll probably row mainly during the colder months in the long run; it's definitely too hot right now. I have a strong fan for indoor cycling, but it is not enough for rowing: I sweat like crazy. ...

Strong effort Stu. It's certainly long enough for a wobble to really detail things, so you did well to pull it together. Nothing wrong with that 6K Stu, well done for sticking with it and getting it done. Very difficult going from HMs at r20 to 6k r28. Thanks fellas. It was a good moment to reflect...

I didn't intend on "opening up a can of worms" 😭 Only curiosity.... Anyway.... Based on the replies...I can certainly see sides to this situation that I was previously ignorant to. It's more complicated than my initial take. Would a satisfactory solution for both sides be to only allow verified resu...

I suppose it's a decent sign of progression when you do a normal workout and get #2in rankings for your group...lol
It will take 2 minutes faster to maintain that... probably in quick order...lol

Zwift rocks, I'm on it at least 4 times a week with a 150km a week target goal. You just need a halfway decent PC and internet and a bike that puts out a Power Source, Cadence and most people want Resistance so the smart trainer interacts with Zwift and forces you to change gears for the inclines a...

Maybe someone can explain why unverified results can even be entered in the season rankings? I don't think I even have the possibility of having an unverified result?? Being that anyone can enter any "flavor" they like, don't most (like myself) view the unverified results worthless? It's sorta (but ...

Murray used to do multiple repeats of sub 6 2K,'s in a session.(Supposedly). Even for him, I guarantee you that the Pain Doctor was dishing it out to the max after 1 or 2 of them. Murray did 4x2k/4:00r, all of them sub-6, in the lead-up to the Rio Olympics. Monstrous. PM5 pic here: https://x.com/ki...

From what I've seen there's quite often not much crossover for running to rowing, and vice versa. Obviously there's exceptions, and this is a general thing, but there's something that stops it being a direct connection, which is a bit strange that cycling has a more direct connection to rowing, and...

My personal take on it - is that you can't ignore the high rate training and "work on it later" because it is something that is intrinsic to your overall rowing endurance & the performance of it now is going to be of large value. Only erging at a low rate makes the body adapt to only rowing at a lo...

Hi! I'm an ok triathlete (I can age group podium in local races) but I've been screwing around on the erg at my gym (an octane ro) and based purely on my limited google searching putting up some pretty solid numbers. I did a long bike / run on Saturday then gym session on Sunday right before doing ...

I have seen a screenshot of Hamish Bond's that was three sub 6 repeats, on four mins rest IIRC, so it is true. Holy "_#...

Perhaps the difference is due to what works best for the typical "average rower" (conventional wisdom approach) compared to what works for the one-in-a-million athlete who's won the genetic lottery (e.g. the guy in the video and the handful of others like him). Caveat: I know next to nothing about ...
