Hey
I’m really passionate about rowing and love it more than anything else. One thing I find super fascinating about rowing, is the rowing blazers associated with the schools and clubs.
Does anyone know which clubs across the world have really prestigious blazers ? And which universities also have blazers for rowers?
Thanks
finally usrowing made a sensible decision by changing u23 trials to mid summer instead of right after ncaa/ira champs! more boats hit the standard with actual time to train in them so we‘ll see if this pays off at worlds…
2nd attempt at this having got dodgy info from AI that luckily I checked!
Steve Redgrave has won titles in six different events at Henley. Only one other oarsman post WW2 has won five. He achieved that this afternoon (big clue). Who is he?
Looking specifically for Durham uni rough men's squad cut offs and times for different boats but info on any UK uni to get an idea would be helpful. Thanks!
Fair play HRR. Video footage has been goated
Well, I slept like shit, probably 4 hours total and in the morning I felt like rowing for 42k. Did 20k with the 6am crew and we finished just in time for the 8am crew to get in. 22k with those guys, so 4 hours total of rowing for me! 🥳 It was a cool thing to do, I still want to do the same in a single.
Someone else found it but it has been passed on to me for reasons.
Many of you following HRR might recognise it.
I'm arranging for it to be sent back to Norway.
I started doing this workout about 2 months ago, when I first learned about it. The appeal is that it can increase your vo2max if you stick with it. The 2007 Helgerud study had participants improving vo2max by an average of 7%, compared to groups doing steady state and threshold workouts with 0% improvement. In subsequent studies, less trained participants improved up to 15% over the same time period.
The structure is 4 x 4 min intervals at 90-95% of HR max, with 3 min of rest in between each. Usually a 10 min warmup and 5 min cooldown.
I've been aiming for once a week, but life tends to get in the way and it ends up being closer to once every two weeks. I'm always on the look out for different high intensity interval workouts to add to the routine. I was surprised I hadn't heard of this one until recently.
My 1 hour steady state at 50-75% HRR has improved by 10% power increase from 100W to 110W (2:31 - 2:26/500m) and a 3bpm drop in overall avg HR.
I should note that the Helgerud study had participants doing this 2-3 times a week, but I couldn't possibly pull that off.
If anyone's curious, these are the research docs I'm referencing-
Has anyone made themselves or sourced elsewhere a frame for their HRR badges? Even by Henley standards,£295 for the official 40 badge frame seems ludicrous!
As a male oarsman/coxswain (on an already pretty good IRA team) would it be possible to athletically transfer to an Ivy program in the IRA?

What is missing and needed that could hypothetically mark a US win in the Fawley/PE ?
What’s your favourite races where there’s been a move from being down to win - I’m talking Rory Copus Abingdon vs Belmont style
Hello all.
I’ve been rowing as a junior for a really long time and my dream is to row for the US men’s junior national team however i am worried that because i am 6”0’ and 160lbs that i will not be competitive with the athletes on the team as most of them are likely to be 6”5’ kids with sub 6:05 2ks. If im in the sub 6:25 range by the id camp of my senior year would i be considered?
I should also mention that I have good national results on the water and will likely have good results next year as well.
Let me know
Im a novice going into my second season, any tips to hit sub seven before school starts back up?
