Thanks Lindsay Hope your fit and well 2 k well I wont be going for any of those :D thanks - I am doing pretty well and fitness is good. Not quite comfortable with the slowing down though. Racing on Saturday in New Zealand so another chance to test the limits. Are you going to have a go at the 1:22....

Well that gives me time to get there on the day
Thanks Lindsay

best of luck Steve - hope there are some big guys to give you a push along.
Try to get there in time for the opens - it is quite a big deal and gives you a chance to get your head into the right space as well.

Hi Anyone know roughly what time of day the 60 500m will take place?
Thanks Steve

They do all the 2ks first - juniors and Masters in the morning then the Opens so likely to be around 2:30 or a bit later but don't take that as gospel

Hi It was mentioned early in the thread of 65 to 70 world records I cannot find any details Could someone point me in the right direction please Thanks Steve https://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/racing/records Steve concept2 only recognises 65-69 WR for 2k - the rest are 60-69 although some natio...

I'm certainly no speedster, but I'm not really sure how it is even possible to row at that pace.

Mitchell you are right it is very hard to do - there are a number of very slow ergers in our gym - the slowest I have seen is 20' @7:00 pace sr18 but there are others <5:00 pace as well.

IBtw. read some studies; the gold standard seems to be VO2max based derivation of training zones (lactate tolerance increases with traing -> the usual 2 and 4 mmol/l limits might not be the best approach. But, hey, we are no pro's and will not take part in olympia ;-) I see some increase of W/Hr fo...

welcome and well done - never too late to get some fitness hard to benchmark as James said as they aren't rankable sessions Anything you do now will only get better - make sure you get the technique right - there are good videos etc If you want to use the rower to lose weight and improve cardio fitn...

Yes Martin - don't look back for too long - just a hiccup - although I did think that you maybe overthought it a little. Still a great bit of learning for the next time. for me Friday off Sat PM 4x 13'/2'R = 12601 @2:03.7 df125 sr25 184w 2:04.2 (139) 2:02.8 (144) 2:03.8 (143) 2:04.1 (143) have to be...

I swear that this appeared randomly in my news feed overnight
it reads pretty well (although a cycling article) with a couple of interesting links as well

Thursday PM hard single piece - did the IRL for Nov - went a bit better than expected actually and I think faster than the last 2 years Solid effort Lindsay. What is the relevance of 6344m? Thanks Stu - I never been that strong once we get to distances but reassuring that the fitness is OK and I pr...
