The Pete Plan

The Pete Plan Beginners Version

is a good starting point for anyone starting out on the erg, it introduces us to all the types of training from steady endurance to short sharp intervals and is a primer for the full-fat Pete Plan (above):

The Eddie Fletcher Marathon Plan

is a pretty serious tome for pretty serious types, but has some good info and its schedules can serve as inspiration or be tailored for one's own purposes. As you might expect, it is heavy on endurance stuff.

RowAlong on Youtube

Several playlists and hundreds of workouts you can, erm, row along to. Plenty of variety, everything from long slow paddles to mad eyeballs-out thrashes. And some guidance on pacing and technique as well. Good for beginners and old hands.
