It took me about 14 months of training to go from from a 9:32 to a 6:58.1 in the 2K... I did lots of 10K and HM pieces and usually 2 or 3 weight sessions per month. I also did some HIIT rows 2 or 3 times per month. (My favorites are the 5 x 750m/1:00r and 6 x 750/3:00r) My first sub 7 came after a s...

No doubt.. I could have easily trimmed this edit down to around 3 minutes... but there were lots of little thoughts I recorded that I didnt want to leave out.

Some interval work tonight....

The Concept2 website has 14 ranked distances and two weight classes (Lightweight Men: <= 165lbs (75kg) and Heavyweight Men: > 165lbs (75kg) . Below is a list of the 14 ranked c...

Hello Gang: When I finished my 100K row last month I immediately made an audio recording to document my thoughts upon completion. In the video linked below, I describe the following topics... - How I prepared for the attempt (my first time rowing above 63K) - My thoughts & feelings at different stag...

meh... I should have gutted it out at 2:00 pace to the finish but decided to save myself for a Saturday weight session instead...

If your happy sitting in your basement thrashing it out and comparing your results to just yourself and not others your fine. Sad but true, this is probably the best idea from a mentally rewarding perspective as there is no outside influence. The thing I find most interesting/compelling about the e...
