BrokenOars Indoors, Episode Two: James Terrell - Painsled Author on Dragging Rowing Training into the Twenty-First Century

BrokenOars Indoors returns to your ears, looking at the future of indoor and online rowing and exercise in general. 

 

We are talking with James Terrell, author of the PainSled App which let's you ergo your way round the Zwift Universe, spectating upon dinosaurs, dodging lava and bothering whales.

 

James is truly a man of the modern world and we examine his history in software design and engineering that supports exercise and sport and dive deep into the issues, difficulties of, and solutions for getting rowing machines of all brands to talk to each other.

 

This leads naturally onto a discussion of the future of exercise as a a game rather than a chore and how we will train for fitness in the world of tomorrow, with some exciting hints for ground breaking ideas that will make every rowing machine as great as the C2 (well almost).

 

Finally as a little palate cleanser James provides our water-based listeners with a parental account of the effect that the US's Title IX legislation has had on the world of junior rowing in the US and how it has tilted the balance of the sexes decidedly one way.
