This morning, 10x 7 minutes with 2 minute recoveries and 2.2 seconds faster pace than last week.
It's way too warm to attempt a time trial.

I replaced the strap with an old cut up bicycle tire inner tube.

Make sense or is the B pretty primitive by comparison?

The model B is primitive by comparison.
Anything worth having is worth waiting for, and you can do something else in the meantime.

Yesterday I did a moderately hard session of 10x 5 minutes with 2 minute recoveries at about my 40k pace.
My goal is to extend my pace over distance, and hopefully to improve my time for the 4k.

Thanks for posting that video of Justin Farina . It's by far the best video I've seen of someone using the Skierg, with the excellent camera angle, being in action the whole time, voice-over throughout, and zero annoying music. That's an awesome workout room too and I wonder if it's his. I especiall...

I've been all through the Skierg recently, and the bearings appear to be functioning as well as they ever did. However, yesterday I took the cords off the spools and discovered an issue. Originally the spools would slide sideways back and forth rather easily. However, yesterday they kept sticking an...

It was probably the 'funnest' steady state I did because I could just think about other things and not stress about my heart rate etc.

Awesome results!

I think you're trying to control too many things in your steady states, your pace, your rating, your heart rate, being precise and so on, which keeps you from relaxing - and you need to relax. Sometimes when doing steady states I cover the monitor completely with only the time left showing, no ratin...

What I find a bit odd is that there doesn't seem to be an Age Grading in rowing. With running you can consult a calculator that gives you your time as a percentage of the world record for your age. So 80%+ is 'national class', 70%+ is 'regional class' etc. This is great as it allows for a fair comp...

There appears to be some resistance in my Skierg, which has been appearing since early this year and is costing me about 9 seconds per 500m at all distances. I'm rather sure the difference is not me, as my times on the Bikeerg are faster than they were in the spring. It could be me, but I think it's...

I took the fan cage off, and the back bearing was okay, but the front one came off with the axle. The bearing attachment was loose in the socket, but not enough to fit the innertube so I tried plastic electrical tape. This didn't work very well, as it scrunched up and the bearing kept coming back ou...

When I try adding the link to my signature, rather than a post, it doesn't show up as a link.

Did you do it like this (with your number)?
