I am doing the Fall Challenge and yesterday check for the lider. Suprisingly she did over 1,000 Km in 16 days. This is over 60 km per day. Is this possible?

You max hartrate is your max hartrate. You can't calculate it. If you got 162 on a hard steptest, that is your max. Use this untill you see is go higher.

This is what I have been doing the ...

Actually I did it at 25-28 strokes per minute. The basic technical drill to learn to row and to see how much the legs can be used is to start on ...
