Ski Erg Stats

Post by adam88 » April 26th, 2025, 3:10 am

I have been struggling to find out answers online as it always seems to show rower data instead and not sure if it should be similar or not.

For example when doing 2k training, does anyone have any idea what an effective dps (distance per stroke) and drive should be.

For instance my stats for 2k are roughly:
1:45/500m
Df: 100
DPS: 7.0
Drive: 1.05
Watt: 320
SPM: 42

I can only seem to see rower stats which say DPS 8-12 and drive 1.10-1.20

Any advice would be great thanks.

It is very depending on technique. If you use higher rates at the same pace, of course distance per stroke will decrease and vice versa.
My first 2k on skierg was at rate 42 and a 7:06, the second one was at rate 51 and a 6:58. Very different approaches and different stroke techniques, so distances differ. Both were at drag around 80.
Drive length also depends on technique and your height. I would say there is no right or wrong/too long too short.
