Welcome to the weekly r/Rowing achievement thread! What was your achievement this week? It could be anything! A new 2k PB? Get a good lift at the gym? Or even your first time capsizing a single! Got a erg screen or a regular training shot? Curious what your 2K will be based on a workout? This is the place for it! Side note: 99% of erg screens should go in this thread. A separate post with an erg screen should be something that happens once or twice a year, at most. Big PR's, that kind of thing. Also, please check our wiki pages: Which erg to buy Is this a good erg time? How do I set up for s ..read more

Shout out to the IRA officials. Not only do they cancel the 4 semis, but they also told every coach to go fuck themselves. They could’ve finished racing yesterday, but didn’t. Every coach was willing to do the semis and finals the same day today. But the reason they didn’t? The officials “did not want to do that”. Crazy that they do that at the national championship. Feel bad for the crews who didn’t get a chance in a semi. The Row2k article said it best: feel bad for some crews who did not get in in the 8 and their only boat was the 4. submitted by /u/FoundationConstant17 [visit reddit] [co ..read more

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of articles about how on steady state, rowers should not ‘try’ too much. Can people clarify? If my 2K is a 1:50 split, what should be my 20 minutes steady state at a 22? submitted by /u/YK2024 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi all, I’m a female in high school for context. I used to do cross country in the fall and I recently started doing crew November of last year. Since then, I’ve gained 10 pounds and gotten much stronger, but lost some of my running speed. I really miss running long distances and I was just wondering is it possible to have a “long distance body built” but with a lot of lean muscle for rowing? Would it hurt my erg time significantly if I lost 10-15 pounds of fat but replaced it with muscle? I miss the feeling of being lean and light, as I’m aware I was in a calorie surplus over the winter sinc ..read more
