How many meters did you row/erg today? - Page 24

how many days a week did you train in season and what was your routine like? did you lift weights and run as part of your training?

Those sound as pretty good times. Concept 2?

yes. it looked like this one.

Ok. I'm asking because the once was someone posting here who did the 2k in 3m27s or something on his rowing machine...

Those are admirable (beginner) times.

doctor or whatever? i don't think he ever came back to the thread. i was kinda curious to see what his actual times were.


thanks. i hope i can improve on them.

today i rowed my first 2000m on the concept 2 and got 7:30. i was aiming for a 1:50 split but got overambitious in the first 500m, which i did in 1:38. after that i lost a ton of speed. when it was over i realized the damper setting was on 10, lol. i'm gonna put it on 5 next time.

Wmmk, sorry to hear about losing your conditioning! Don't worry, it'll come back real fast. That's a pretty tough pyramid, a lot of meters and not a lot of rest, plus you started off pretty fast. Another week or two and you'll be right back.

6k test today, pulled a 22:12.6, for a 1:51 avg. Wanted to break 22:00, but it just wasn't going to happen today. PR either way, so can't complain too much.

Last couple days of finals!

You are an American. Why use metric? Dont embarrass us.

Did 3X 7 minutes today, 2 minutes at 22 strokes/minute, 2 minutes at 24 strokes/minute, 2 minutes at 26 strokes/minute and 1 minute at 28 strokes/minute. Got 1850, 1888 and 1905 meters, shouldn't have eaten 30 minutes before training...

We have a rower at our gym. No one ever uses it, so I decided to try it out starting last winter. Turns out it's a lot of fun and a hell of a workout. Anyway, I usually just put the sensor on watts and pick an average power output to maintain... 300, 250, 200 depending on the distance I want to do. I'm not familiar with rowing lingo and I have no idea if my times are good, anyone care to let me know how I stack up? 1k around 3:30 2k in the 7:15 range 5k usually sneak in just under or over the 20 minute mark I've done some reading/watching of rowing technique and I think I've refined it pretty well over the past year. That being said, I've seen no substantive decrease in my times over the past 4 months. Is that just a function of the fact that I only do it once a week? I assume competitive rowers train much more than that, but I have no competitive aspirations, except for my own internal desire to be fastest and stronger.

I'd be rather happy with those times.

That's one hell of a good job! Tomorrow i'm going for some ergo training but my coaches aren't there, any suggestions on what I could do? I'm new to rowing (started in september) but have a sportingbackground (international biathlon races and running) so I should have a relatively good stamina.

Did 2x 20mins today averages of 1:58,4 and 1:58,1

Not sure if I should bump this thread or start a new one....oh, well. Long time lurker on the MC but really not interested in joining in the "discussions"... After a long career (amateur) of cycling, it all came to end when I was hit head on by a truck. After 18 surgeries, 3.8 million in med bills and the decision to remove my lower leg and the passage of a few years, I recently purchased a Concept 2. My injuries will prevent me from cycling any time soon (I have many screws and rods holding me together) but I would like to develop an a work out plan. I am very susceptible to boredom which is why I loved cycling so much, so I would like to know what works out to do on the C2 and how to keep it interesting... Can any one recommend a C2 Forum somewhere? Are 4x500 the standard starting point? Thanks
