PJM or anyone else,
Where do I go on the C2 website to get the NARC standings page put out by C2?

Dan,
I'm also posting a morning update on the North American Challenge topic list that appears directly below our team section.

Good graphic! I'm enjoying the ongoing saga of O-rion O-rowing ...Kona2 wrote:

I am looking for some feedback regarding strokes per minute. Since I just started rowing last April I am not sure if I should change things up more often. Predominantly my rows are 45 to 60 minute averaging 29 to 30 SPM. The quality of any particular row is based on the avg/500 meters. A good workout is around 1:59 to 2:00 minutes versus 2:03 to 2:04 for an average row to 2:05 to 2:06 for a" just get through it". What do the rest of you do? Thanks

i am using Orion's rowing to lobby for the selling of the model b and purchase for model d. I think many meters are being lost in the machine. I think there are some easier settings on the d for him to row on.
Akira, age 1, has sat on my lap for 300 meters and thinks its a fun ride.
And now I have posted at least one rowing story about each child.

Great question, Tim. I started erging last fall ... and my sessions are also 45-60 minutes now. I'm pulling 20-25 SPM and, if I'm trying-pretty-hard, can do 2:20-2:25 /500 meter splits. However, while aspiring to the longer distances (Not Another Rowing Challenge!) my SPM stay at 20-25 but my splits slip to 2:30-2:40. (I'm still waiting for that heart monitor to arrive so I can see just how aerobic this is!) I look forward to the those-who-have-knowledge posts ... meanwhile, I'm opening a Pinot Grigio ... I gave up adult beverages for Lent and am still rewarding myself. (Oh, yes, that'll help the old SPM!)Trouble1 wrote:Since I just started rowing last April I am not sure if I should change things up more often.

First of all you didn't mention age, resting HR, whether you use a heart monitor or what you are trying to accomplish.
For a little background: I am 63, 5'10' and weigh 200 lbs. I row for general fitness but mostly cardio and weight lose. With a resting HR of 58. In case you don't know the math:
220 - your age = Max HR = MHR
Ex. 220-63=157 MHR
Max HR - Resting HR = Heart Rate Reserve = HRR
157-58=109 HRR
Your aerobic training heart rate range will be between 50-75% of your HRR added back to your resting Heart rate.
Low end would be 109 x .5 = 54.5 + 58 = 112.5 Low THRR
High end would be 109 x.75 = 81.75 + 58 = 139.75 High THRR
If you go above 80% and below 85% you are in the range between aerobic and anaerobic.
Above 85% and you are in the anaerobic range.
Knowing these ranges is why a heart monitor is necessary. Without it you are flying blind and the older you get the more serious the trouble you can get into.
Anyway, what I do is row at a SPM count of between 18 and 24 varying up and down to keep the HR at about 120. You make up the slower pace by pulling harder in the finishing part of the stroke, i.e. lowering your average 500m/split times. Using my example my split times are between 2:25 and 2:40 depending on the heart rate at the time.
Hope this wasn't too boring for you. With your times and spm you sound like a young strapping lad.

tomorrow..i'm planning to get up early...had a hard track practice tonight, so we'll see...and go to the y and row while watching the sox play....barbaraToothdoc wrote:Barbara,
Hey you're getting really close. You going to finish this off tomorrow or are you rowing right now?
Tom and Kristine,
You guys are sneaking up on that magic #.
Good work by all.

Ok crew, this is the last time. Those other avatars were just for practice. Now it is my very own kitty and mountain. And...btw toothdoc. I LOVE your avatar! 
I know I have been gone a while but I have been rowing as I could and I am back up to 10k a day so I just went in and entered all my meters for the last two weeks. So in case anyone thinks I rowed this enormous amount of meters just remember it was done over a period of two weeks. I am done with the pt and have the green light to row with the only restriction being my own body.

We moved to California from Boston in 1986 after dying through that infamous Bill Buckner play in the '86 world series. Enjoy your Sox-watching!bg wrote: tomorrow..i'm planning to get up early ... and go to the y and row while watching the sox play....barbara
And, a late-breaking UPS delivery just brought me my heart monitor ... now to hook it up and cast a jaundiced eye over those formulas ... someone may be getting a PM!
