Hey guys, I've done two 2k time trials before, but I had never taken a shot at a 1k. Did my first 1k time trial on the erg today, and I was really happy with the result. Time Meters Pace S/M 3:09.3 1,000m 1:34.6 33 <> Very nice Oliver. Plenty more to come from you, I think. This is very strong, esp...

Went sub 7’ for my 2k. :D Somewhat buoyed with some other times I thought I’d give it a go but be sensible this time and avoid a HD at all costs. The plan worked - hard away, sit on 1:45 and wind it up from 400 with everything I’d got left for the last 21 strokes. I don’t think my HR really was 208...

Good stuff Oliver. I too started taking this seriously due to lockdown. Funny how we see our potentials differently. You can do a sub 6:50 2k with a hope to go sub 18 mins for a 5k. I’ve just done a sub 18’ 5k and am wondering if I can go sub 7’ for the 2k. I am also on cycle 2 of the PP. Average p...

Hey guys, Currently in week 2 of my first time doing the Pete plan (I completed the first week of the three week cycle in the beginning of June, but was at a wrestling training camp for the second week of the plan, so I just restarted the three week cycle on week 1 last week. I wanted to share some ...

Hopped on today and did 18:15.8, avg 1:49.5/500m. First 3k were at about 1:50, fourth was at 1:49.6 and the last kilometer was at 1:47.4. Happy with my time, but definitely think I could do faster. Looking at your recent comment as well, I think closer to 1:46/500 for my next 5k in the coming weeks ...

Thanks for the responses guys. I plan to row one in the next couple of days; will let you know how it goes. Pain cave!

Hey guys. My dad was a rower, so we have an erg in our basement. I began rowing on the erg at the start of lockdown as a means of staying in shape for wrestling, so I've essentially been rowing since mid-late march. As I said, I'm more focused on using the erg for wrestling, however I've loved time ...
