I'm amazed at the volume of your training, Gregory, what's your 2K?

After warm up.

5 min piece @ 1:46.5

5 min piece @ 1:47.2

then 5000m easy @ 1:53.

On the Model B I use the 15 tooth gear and the vents closed and I find this is the perfect resistance(drag factor). Does anyone know the exact DF at this parameter?

Felt good after 5min warm up. Decided to go for 1000m PB.

Beat my pb by 9 sec. 3.16.5 @ 33s/m 118DF

Then did 2x1500 easy followed by 500m @ 138

1500m cool down @ 1:56.

11500m total on Model B

5min warm up
5 min @1:45
the rest of distance ranged between 1:45 to 1:55

Earlier this year I bought a model D (hardly used) for a great price. This is a great machine and is used by myself and my wife. Now my gym has 2 Model B rowers and I find myself preferring the model B to my D at home. I love the sound, the air blowing in my face and best of all I find it easier to ...
