Innovative Erg Challenges:

As this weekend would have been the start of regatta season for many, we felt that this is an opportunity to share some alternative competitive or training initiatives for our clubs and members to take part in. Get involved and keep the head up. 


Erg Challenges:


Want to stay active indoors? Take a look at these innovative initiatives to keep fit while achieving your goals:


Concept2 Sprive VIII Series:


Concept2 have developed a new virtual challenge that is competed in teams of eight from the comfort of your own home…well, your own erg! Team captains can create one or more boats, and choose their teammates to compete in new challenges each week. All you need to do is verify your results each week in the Concept2 Online Log Books before the entry deadline.

Ludum Challenges:


Ludum is a training platform for athletes and coaches. You can sync your training from multiple devices and get unique insights into training volume, load, and intensity. Ludum is now available for free until July and they have developed a free new feature that will allow you and some teammates to compete with indoor rowers from all over the world, whilst still letting you track your training in Ludum. Ludum Challenges offer free, fun, and easy to join challenges to help you stay engaged and competitive wherever you are.
