Great progress, congrats on the HM PBTed12 wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 6:21 amStill consider myself a newbie as only been rowing for a year which has been interrupted due to covid, brought my own machine in January.
Did a HM last night for the May Challenge managed a new PB ( although its only my 2nd one)
1:34.37 done at 2:14.5/500 @ 19s/m
Compared to last years effort of 2:17.7 @ 22s/m. when comparing the speed and rate could anyone advise is the improvement due to fitness, strength or endurance

The only other time I did a 6k piece on the SkiErg, it was an actual time trial, and I HD'd (HU on the SkiErg, actually) for well over a minute before convincing myself to finish.
Today's effort was just a training piece (500m on/500m off, pace 2:05/2:11), so a case of tortoise beating hare (not that anyone would ever describe my athletic pursuits as hare-like...).
A PB is a PB, no matter how soft.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Having your own erg can be a big factor in getting better, as you know it's well maintained, and you can feel more comfortable on it. Did you 10-15k regularly before the first lockdown? That sort of distance will really help to improve a HM.Ted12 wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 7:57 amrowing about 8 months before the first lockdown doing the BPP then had 5/6 months off ( doing nothing fitness wise)with first lockdown back for a few months getting back to where I was then lockdown again Then as said brought my own Erg for home. I tend to do 10k - 15k rows 3 or 4 times a week. I find my comfortable stroke rate is 19/20 and have drag factor 115
Just doing more and more distance is always a positive for getting faster, but I'd recommend you try and get used to a higher stroke rate as it will be, or at least should be, quicker.
