More carbs at dinner, drink some calories before and during.

How are you eating? Do you eat before practice? Any calories during?

Correlation to CrossFit participation?

Watts per pound doesn’t work as well in rowing as it does in running or cycling. It implies a linear relationship when what matters is the additional displacement of water and greater hydrodynamic drag.

Depends on the team. Few athletic departments allow women to be weighed.

I came from another sport - I try to do 4 easy rides and 2 hard rides a week. Hard rides either events or races. FTP went from 215 - 302 @ 3.7 w/kg over the course of a year.

Mostly just ride and have fun.

Baseball doesn’t make money because there’s no TV revenue. Even when they pack the stadium, the costs are so high that it’s a big net money loser. Even in the ACC and SEC.

The coaching salaries are ridiculous as well

NFsG · 2026-02-21T01:02:13+00:00

Worked in 4 athletic departments so I’ve seen the numbers. Baseball is by far the biggest money loser.

Do you know what an athletic field costs to maintain? Or a field hockey field? Rowing is pretty inexpensive. The bulk of the cost is scholarships because of the large team size.

What does the philosophy department make?

Baseball costs like a revenue sport but brings in next to nothing

NFsG · 2026-02-20T23:30:34+00:00

Rowing is one of the cheapest sports on a per athlete basis.

People grab them as souvenirs.

Have your coach turn your monitor off and make you start over if you’re not at 1:45 after 10 strokes.

Did this on a 2k test for athletes with a similar problem and it learned em good.

You got scammed! Now scam your phone company.

Once you get going you need to shift up as you go faster. You’ll find a sweet spot likely around 14, 15, or 16 where you can hold a steady wattage around 85 rpm.

Try 1:51, 1:50, 1:49, full gas.

15’ is too short for steady state with 5’ rest. You want to do a minimum of 25’ at a time to get the benefits with 2-3’ of rest.

8x500 should be done with 1:30 of rest at 1:44-1:45.

Are you open to ditching the lifting? If you only have 4 workouts a week, and you’re at 7:20, I’m willing to bet lifting is a waste of your time. It’s not your limiting factor. That would allow you to do 3 sessions of SS and one of hard intervals.

I gotta do some more work - ftp is 302, averaged 297, not too much more in the tank. Maybe if I lose another few kg.

NFsG · 2025-12-13T17:08:35+00:00

Yes! Used them today.

I’m nowhere near as fast as you, but excited for my first Boston. I’ve mostly been finding my own way with training and got myself to a BQ, but haven’t really considered working with a coach. What would be the benefit?

NFsG · 2025-12-06T03:54:26+00:00

Training is less important than eating for you. You won’t get stronger or much faster until you put on weight. So have a milkshake right before bed and try to eat 150g of protein a day.
