5k today. Paced it nice enough, and i would like to say this was a good sesh, but nothing could be further from the truth. It started to get ugly just 1.2k in and never got any better from there onwards!! The lack of erg time sure does let you know about it quickly. And for all the good weights ses...

I have done plenty training lately, just not so much of it has been erg. Been really getting into the weights with lots of enthusiasm.

Probably do a 5k tomorrow though with a bit speed and intensity... think i read somewhere this is really the only way to do one

Sorry...was a little drunk when i posted

We've all been there

This'll do the trick

though facebook is the one i use least. I can't stand facebook tbh. It wasn't too bad many years ago, but now it's littered with self absorbed types looking for attention in all kinds of forms from meme posts to overdramatised cries for help. It's only beneficial use it has for me is for buying and...

I think you should spend $180 on a PM5 rather than spending the time that you're wasting trying to beat a corpse into life.

Might aswell just buy another C rower in that case!!

Intended to aim for 37:20 but I got carried away and almost lost with 3.5k to go and then gurned and grimaced the rest of the way home. I'm still far from top form so this was a nice surprise. "What doesn't kill...

Cooldown stretches

Welcome to the world of all things rowing. First off, you chose the right piece of exercise equipment to help you on your way to good fitness and health. The C2 erg imo is an epic bit of kit, that can become quite addictive and a normal part of your lifestyle if you keep at it. Don't try to row too ...

1:30 would be considered a good 500m time. Not to nitpick, but if all you're doing is 500m then I agree, 1:30 is a good time (in fact, a very good time that I would not even try to approach myself). However, if we're talking "training" pace (which is what I believe the OP was asking about) then 1:3...

That's noticeably better to my eye, but try and stitch it all together so you're recovery is a bit more fluid. It probably won't make much difference so don't worry about it if it feels natural to you doing it this way. Good is a very subjective topic, and there's no benefit in trying to compare. I...
