Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

This weekend I was reading through past threads for training ideas and I bumped into a thread from 2023 where poster Tsnor (thanks!) pointed out to Nils van der Poel's extensive training guide ( https://www.howtoskate.se/ ). There's a lot of great stuff in there but what caught my attention for toda...

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

First post in the thread - got a PB! Did my first rowing marathon yesterday (weighed in at 163.6lbs) - rowed it on slides. I'd hoped to row it at 1:59s, managed it in 2:46:26.9 (1:58.3) so that was a great result for me. I was warned that doing a marathon on the rower would be different than running...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

Hopped on the bike erg today and did a 10k spin followed by a 7.5k spin. The reason today's training is worth noting wasn't the work out (I was in sweatpants, kept it easy) - it was the setting. I did it at the San Diego Rowing Club while watching masters race the 2k at the Indoor Classic. This was ...

Happy to get a chance to learn from everyone here! As far as the 4k intervals -> personal belief I've develope...

Re: What Training Have You Done Today?

Been following the forum for some time but this is my first post. Figured I'd just jump right in. I had been rowing really well at lightweight in August and September, but I got sick mid October and that, combined with fully enjoying the holidays, turned into a couple months of inconsistency and put...
