Looking for an interesting erg challenge to start the new year? Take a look at Just Row's competition.

// JUST ROW 2017 - THE WORKOUTS //

We will once again be asking you to complete a set of workouts within a one hour time slot. These are designed to test sprint, recovery and middle distance rowing.

(A) At the start of your hour

Row 3 minutes
Rest 2 minutes
Row 3 minutes

Score is total distance in the 6 minutes rowed. No rolling starts.

(B) At 20 minutes

Row 75 seconds for max distance

(C) + (D) At 30 minutes

For time row 3000m for ladies, 3500 for gents BUT your first 750m for ladies and 875m for gents will count as a separately scored workout!

For each of the four workouts you will receive a point score with the winner gaining one point, 2nd two points etc. Your overall score for the hour will be the total of these point scores with the lowest score placing highest. In the event of a tie we will first go to number of higher place finishes, then to total distance covered to decided final placings.

We will be in contact with all athletes giving further information in the coming weeks. At this moment in time we do not have a confirmed race schedule.

Tickets for the event on 23rd April, at Train Heald Green in Manchester, are available from:

A look back at the French Indoor Rowing Championships. The 2017 championships are on the 4th February.

Les championnats de France indoor ont rassemblé, ce samedi 30 janvier, 1500 personnes. De 14 à 90 ans, les sportifs ont dû se battre contre leurs adversaires, mais aussi contre la machine avec un seul objectif : atteindre leurs records personnels et même plus ! Ces championnats ont la particularité…

Over the last few months we haven’t released any updates to the ErgStick app and we wanted to let you know why.

We launched the ErgStick app in December 2015 and have had incredible feedback and usage. In February we released the ErgStick dongle to allow PM3/4 rowers to upgrade their machines to be like the PM5 monitor.

Since both have been on the market they have become one of the must have items for any indoor rower. We now want to take both to the next stages in their journey. We are therefore changing the name of the ErgStick app to Float.

Our focus with Float will be to give indoor rowers all across the globe the ability to record their indoor rowing sessions and compare themselves to friends and people who they follow. As it evolves growing into a social app for indoor rowing.

With the ErgStick dongle, we will be opening up our technology and code to allow mobile developers all across the world to use it in order to build apps for indoor rowing. Making ErgStick compatible with any app that wants to communicate with the Concept2 monitors.

We are excited to see the incredible growth in indoor rowing and look forward to helping shape the direction through both Float and ErgStick.
