How many meters did you row/erg today? - Page 30

You might have missed the part that said "in elite male rowers". Yes peak power can help predict a 2k time, but only when all of the subjects had a huge aerobic base.

+1. These guys are trained to go and go. Test results would be different if they used untrained athletes/rowers.

In any case, good 2k row Bach. Row harder next time

thx guys. andy, that makes sense. 4/12 i did a 20 minute tempo piece, avg HR 175 (92.5% max HR), avg/500m 1:58.5 today i did the same thing, avg HR 175, but the avg/500m was 1:54.5 progress : D

Good work! You're dropping some serious time. Keep up the good work.

Just noticed this thread. I'm too lazy to think about regimes and just do 12K on alternate days. I'm using a communal machine, an old basic concept 2. I wanted to ask if the model D is going to be a major step up as someone is selling one.

Depending on how well the seat and other parts of your old one rolls, not much difference in rowing feel. The computer has more widgets, but I've never had much use for others than the basic ones.

ah, yes, now that you mention it, the seat on the communal concept2 is terrible, but I guess it won't be any different on the newer models.

5k @ 1:55.5.

Pretty happy with that result given 3 weeks ago it was pretty tough to row 2:00/500m for just 10mins. Went out too slow at 1:58, thinking I didn't have as much in the tank.

Kinda crazy how fast it can come back when push like the old days.

i'm gonna give the "wolverine plan" a shot this summer. 9 ergs/wk!! http://www.rathburn.net/rowing/train...ine%20Plan.pdf

Wolverine Plan is great. The low rating stuff really helped me out, both in terms of overall fitness and with staying on an erg for that long. I wouldn't recommend 9 sessions per week over the summer, that's going to be hard to maintain, especially with competition so far off and nice weather. 4 or 5 should be plenty to make steady improvement on. As for HR, it depends on what you're going for. If you're trying to push it hard then yeah HR is going to be higher, but if you're just trying to get some good aerobic work in than those values are fine. It can be easy to get stuck in a cycle of going hard all the time. You'll improve for a bit, but eventually it catches up to you. Good work on the 750s wmmk! Tough distance to push. As for me, pretty much been just on the water the last couple weeks.

nice splits. the 5k's were pretty easy. i'm adding more volume/intensity each week unless it doesn't feel right (e.g., instead of this week's 2x5k @ 2:00, next week i'll do 2x6k at 1:55 or sth) so that'll get my HR up a lil more. not that much higher, though. the 2x6k (lvl 3) is supposed to be steady state, i.e., below the anaerobic threshold. this week is capped at 6 ergs + 2 lifting sessions (will slowly increase to 9 ergs/wk if my body can handle it): mon- lvl 3 tues- lvl 1 wed- lvl 3 thurs- lvl 2 fri- lifting, lvl 4 sat- rest sun- lifting, lvl 4

5k @ 1:54.3 ... legs failed me in the last 1k.

I'm find it really difficult to get back into rowing while really focusing on dead lifting progress. The two movements are too similar to give 100% to each
