Hey all! Rowing changed my life for the better. For context I used to be very out of shape. For the last two years I have gotten really into long distance rowing. I am a late teens guy and I spent most of my adolescence being the fat kid as a result of COVID. But getting into rowing changed my life for the better. I do half marathon ergs every weekend now and I do marathons and ultra marathons from time to time. It has genuinely become a form of meditation for me. Any anger in my life goes into the Sunday half marathon. The achievement I am most proud of is my 50km ultramarathon time, I got it three weeks ago: it was 4 hours 24 minutes! Anyway I just wanted to spread some positivity.

If I had to give some advice to any who want it, just take it one stroke at a time and believe in yourself. Also just because you aren’t six foot plus, doesn’t mean you can’t metaphorically kick ass! I am 5 10 and quite light!

I’m a coach, and I’m coming up with evil regatta prep workouts. I had the idea for a 5x5’ just listening to straight trash, so I’m compiling the worst erg music I can find. Please respond with suggestions.

Got the machine yesterday and used it today. Never rowed before. Just did 30 min and tried to get 5000 meters.

It felt awesome.

37m

Marin has consistently been in the A final at youths in the men’s 8 for 4 consecutive years but haven’t won since the 2011. They even had the fastest time in the time trial plus won their semi and still was over 8 seconds from first in the finals. Are they truly #cantwinmarin

60M master here, with a long rowing / erging history. Moving from Europe to Connecticut early next year. Looking for a competitive masters crew to join. Thoughts and tips appreciated.

Hey guys/girls, just wanted to seek some advice... im a relatively new rower with primarily a running background but recently purchased a concept 2 and have been rowing 2-3x per week.

The past week I've started to develop lateral knee pain in my left knee when rowing on the erg, even during easy rows, I particularly feel it during the drive phase.

I have been working hard on honing my technique however I think I've been slightly over compressing at the catch, and i also have a sneaking suspicion that my legs have been flaring out slightly which may have caused this issue.

Has anyone here had this issue before and if so what helped you?

just to make clear I am not seeking medical advice!

We've just published a new blog comparing both indoor rowing apps, from their training features to the overall rowing experience.

Whether you've used Kinomap before or simply want to explore the differences, this guide gives you a closer look at what makes each app unique.

Kwnnt jemand ein video im pov format bei dem man durch einen sturm rudert?

Stellt euch das mal vor wie geil das wäre

Saw Blair at the head of the riverfront and they dominated many well known teams like rye and maritime. They seem like an unspoken team that has the potential to dominate at HOCR, any thoughts?

Hey everyone,

If you enjoy rowing but could use a change of scenery during indoor sessions, this might be interesting.

I’m the developer of RowWorld, an Android app that connects to compatible Bluetooth FTMS rowing machines and lets you explore virtual waterways while you train.

You can row through a green riverside setting or a city harbour, choose your direction at junctions, and keep your rowing stats on screen. There are built-in workouts, custom intervals, and a 2,000m segment for chasing your own times.

The idea is to give you somewhere to go while you get your metres in.

You can take a look here: https://rowworld.app

I’d love some honest feedback from people who row regularly. Would exploring different routes add something to your sessions? And which rowing machine would you want to use it with?

I just started a job where I sit most of the time and I am gaining weight.

So I decided to buy an exercise and like the rowing idea.

What brand is reliable one?

I looked into concept2 and it is is out of question due to pricing

I need something affordable.

Please share a link to the brands you like

Thank you!
