Switch from Crew to Running?

if youre really a rower, wouldnt you know that the ivy league has some of the best rowing teams in the entire country?

also if youre purely a rower, dont expect to make the transition from rowing to running easily (and match up to the D1 collegiate level)...different types of endurance and definitely different body types. also most frosh college running recruits have several years of experience...theyre not your average recreational runners.

You're constantly injured rowing and somehow you think the key to harnessing your athletic talent is running? If you train for running seriously, as an injury prone person, you're highly likely to destroy your knees/ankles/hips.

Here's a tip: if you wind up at an ivy league school join the cycling team. They're all club teams, but the top levels are extremely competitive. Cycling is lower impact, it's a team sport like rowing, and several of the ivies have very good teams with a lot of participation.

Hahaha, I don't really understand why you bothered but nice. I was looking for my thread and got this instead! But you should probably have swapped "treadmill" or "track" for "erg" in both spots, so it would make more sense.

1. Rowing --> biking is a far more common (successful) transition.

2. Don't see how good you are on an erg. Run.

What kind of high school has a rowing team but no cross country team?
