Sunday:

20000m > 4 sets of 5000m range with 2 minutes rest/stretch between each...3 minutes before moving on to....
6500m > 3000m/3min rest-2000m/2min rest-1000m/1min rest- 500m

Total: 26500m

Monday:
12000m Steady row.

Tonight: Goal is 15000m steady row.

All my 500/m splits are slow on all these meters but for me right now its about getting base meters under my belt and one step closer to my 10 week goal of 750000 m. Only roughly 500,000 m to go by Halloween!

For what distance? Regardless, the answer is we'll make a plan. That's the key. Pick your goal time/distance. Then use this site to determine the pace. After that, the collective braintrust in the forum will help you devise strategy and tactics.

But let's step back first. Are you rowing for the SUNY Albany crew?

I got a 2:01.8 (7425m) I think for my 30minute back in march of '07.

I think if I tried to beat that...i would fail miserably.

Yes I row for SUNY Albany crew

Im a freshman, been rowing for 4 years (all through high school). Got 1.2 million meter on the erg

You should subordinate any advice that you receive here to your coach's comments. Your team workouts must form the base of your training. To the extent your coach wants you to supplements your team workouts, then we can counsel you. But you must also budget much time for studying. A student's first semester of college is exciting, overwhelming, difficult, and fun.

What is your schedule with your crew (generally)? Does your coach want you to do extra workouts? And can you afford them academically?
