I'm looking for any helpful suggestions regarding uneven resistance in left and right-hand pull on my SkiErg. Problem: Left-hand side has a significantly lighter pull. It feels like the left hand is set at DF50 and the right hand at DF150. There is almost no resistance at the bottom of the pull. I h...

There is a bit of research showing that recovery from the AT-type workout is the same (or longer, depending on duration) as is for the TR-AN hard interval workout. There is a general acceptance that higher intensities around race-pace provide more adaptation, so why stay at lower (AT) intensity for ...

Could you please share the full PDF of the article? I can't find it in usual places. Regarding training volume, Very high volume has become fashionable among endurance athletes. A few elite athletes manage to do it and dominate their sport, so the ones ranked slightly lower think this is the reason ...

Only thing that appeals to me is not hitting the sensor with the handle at the finish.

Hi Greg, I recently got a Suunto Ambit3 Run, mostly because my training log is tied to their site. I wouldn't recommend any of the GPS Suunto watches, at the moment. My biggest annoyance is that they only use BLE, so I must choose to connect the HR strap either to the watch or the PM5. Screen is not...

Do you know any Scandinavian language? I bet they could tell us something interesting about using this machine. After a lot of trawling (in English) I gave up searching for this type of information. You could try a brute force search with something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ar...

Solid result.

As you know from the rower, some technique tweeks, higher rate and maybe a higher drag can unlock a few more seconds/500m.

So you finally got the SkiErg, eh? That's a decent Watt output. You can expect about 100W less peak power, and 5-7s/500m slower across distances then on the RowErg. If you're looking for inspiration there are some great times posted by a few guys here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/277574832318748/

Unless you can get hold of all the RR intervals (and input them in a spreadsheet and apply some mathematical wizardry (available in Excel, apparently) I don't think what you have there is enough. HRV captures the variation between intervals and the 1277 figure (1.277sec between beats) captures the ...

Let's get back on topic. GJS, Do you know if R-R intervals measured by my HR monitor can be used to determine HRV? This is what I'm seeing: HR is the white line, and the R-R is the red line. http://i.imgur.com/E8zGT6A.jpg This is 10 minutes upon waking with the resting HR between 47-49. Based on tha...

Regarding HR at UT2, I don't think it's possible or useful to keep the HR and pace flat for a 60+ minute session. You'd either have to drop the pace or let the HR drift. .... errr - thats exactly the point of HR capped pieces. You are supposed to adopt the pace accordingly. dehydration, is one of t...

Regarding HR at UT2, I don't think it's possible or useful to keep the HR and pace flat for a 60+ minute session. You'd either have to drop the pace or let the HR drift. I usually keep an eye on the average heart rate for the session on my watch. UT2-1 sessions are pretty safe as long as you're mind...

I flip-flop in my opinion about HRV. A few years ago I dismissed it as new age and in the category of counting steps. Now I see it has a bit more serious following. I'll read up on the links you've posted. I'd like to try it, but my HR sensor is ANT+. I attempted to connect it a few times, but my LG...

Try wrapping the handle with tennis racket wrap or a bicycle handlebar cork wrap or something of that kind.
This is what worked for me after trying many gloves.

I haven't come across information on what the force curve should be. I'm still improving my technique on every pull, and I can see it in the force curve. When I do the correct sequence and pull smoothly trough the stroke I get the best time and the smoothest curve. This is what my steady state pace ...
