Concept2 Forum

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...

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...

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 ...

Huge thanks for the warm welcome from Sakly , P_b82 and Dangerscouse - your responses make me super glad I decided to start posting! Lots of great experience and thoughts for me to consider and incorporate! I'll be sure to continue to update my approach and read through past threads. I don't want to...

Welcome to the forum. They're great results so far, but what does the 4k intervals session look like, and what is their purpose for the FM? Have you done longer than a HM distance? Thanks! Happy to get a chance to learn from everyone here! As far as the 4k intervals -> personal belief I've develope...

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...
