The Heart of a Champion

Hey RowZoners, Mike again. This time I decided to explain exactly what it takes to be as fast as you can be, and know that you cannot work any harder. Racing doesn’t have to be about who’s in better shape, it’s all about who is willing to fight for that finish line. Who is willing to put it all on the line? Steve Prefontaine (who is still the only athlete in more...
Failure to Plan, is a Plan for Failure
By petar at May 9, 2011 | 2:22 pm | 1 Comments
This person clearly failed to plan what would happen if someone decided to lift his or her bike up. Thus, this person has planned to fail. Hey guys, Mike again. I thought I’d talk to you about planning today, and how that affects your workouts, your goals, and your life. My coach in high school always used to say, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” As more...
The Rowing Community

Hey guys, Mike here. This is my inaugural post. You could say that I'm more than a little anxious about how it will be received. Be nice... even though I'd probably be vicious ;). The Rowing Community is a little different from most. You wouldn’t think so, but there’s definitely a bond between anyone that has ever rowed before. I run into kids at school all the more...
The Erg Test

After reading this article by Nicole Arrato, Katie immediately wanted to share it with RowZoners. "This is a personal account of a 2k erg test, and is the feeling I try to get all my class members to achieve: complete and utter exhaustion combated by unparalleled pride in your achievement." My legs feel as though they have turned to jelly as I descend, one step at a more...

Members get their 'fix' with RowZone Outdoors! Mike came up with this awesome idea to keep our members active while studio classes are postponed. Classes so far were held at Rittenhouse Park, The Art Museum, and Drexel's Campus. While we don't have the rowing machines, one of our members said, "I'll never complain about the rower again" after attacking the Art Museum more...
A Word From The Artist

Hey gang, Justin here! So this is my maiden post on the RowZone blog, and hopefully it's the first of many. For those of you that have ventured down to the Rittenhouse RZ on Saturday mornings, you'll recall that during the 8am, 9am, and 10am workouts I lead, I am always rambling on about rowing better in order to row faster. The human body has ways in which it more...
