how fast can you row 2000 metres ?

[MacGee]

411k for me so far.

[ErikLondon]

Another solid week.

5 sessions for a total of 66,500.

Total now 321,500 after 6 weeks.

10k time now around 2.07 with lots of gas still in the tank so target of sub 2.05 seems realistic in the next few weeks.

[13m]

Had a go at a 100m today. 17.5 seconds.

No technique whatsoever, I was mostly unable to stay on the seat. I won't be making a habit of these.

[Rich1973]

40.5k this week. Knocking on the door of 1/3 distance now at 326k total.
Furthest distance in a session as well today at 15k

Try some 30:30 - they're 'fun'. 30s max effort, 30s rest. Rinse and repeat for 10-20 mins. Be careful of form though.

Oddly yes I had those planned for next week at some point. I know how to have a good time.

I have done so much sprint rowing this week my legs haven't another 500m in them. I did 500 after the 100 this morning and it felt more like 5k.

The related joy is 1:3 500m. Once again more 'fun', better if 2 others are there to 'enjoy'.

Just 500m as fast as poss, then the 2 others turn. Aim for as many sub 1:30 as poss. Puking is compulsory. TBF not done this for a long time, so I'd guess I'd be 1 x sub 1:30 then 3 months in hospital

[MacGee]

461k...will be half way there this week.

[ErikLondon]

Another 5 sessions for a total of 68,000.

Now at 389,500 after 7 weeks.

10k time down to 2:05.8 so target of sub 2:05 getting closer.

Am away for a week skiing next week so will lose a week but still on track (just) to complete for my 40th on the 15 June.

[MacGee]

510k done

[Fezzaman]

Been away for a couple of weeks... but back on it heavy this week to try and balance it and monstered through 62k so far. Takes me to a little over 340k. TBH the mileage counting is pretty boring now - it's very much a matter of when not if we complete the 1000k. What's more frustrating is how 2 weeks off seems to have taken me back nigh on a month in fitness if heart rate is to be believed. Need to perhaps do some bodyweight circuits or something when away. Anyone go to HORR last weekend? Boat race this weekend as well on Sunday.

[dirty doug]

Have had a couple of weeks off due to general ill health.

Will ease myself back into it next Tuesday hopefully.

[ErikLondon]

Best week so far = 84,000.

Total now at 473,500 after 8 weeks so staying well above my 50k per week target average.

Going skiing for a week today but will pick up when I'm back the following week.

[Fezzaman]

Just finished my big week as well to compensate for 2 weeks off. Chunky 92k in 6 days. Think a day or 2 off now... YTD 372191m.

[MacGee]

550k for me. Steady 10k most days. Gonna start more interval HIIT stuff soon.

[The Moose]

Just headed to the gym. Going to give the 2k challenge a go. I've not rowed for probably 15 years...fingers crossed I don't break something

[The Moose]

Was aiming for 8:30. Paced it quite well I recon



No idea if this is any good for an unfit fat fella!

The time is most relevant. How else can I beat myself if I don't worry about the time?!

The best type of competition - against myself. That way I always win

ETA: Just had a look at the Concept 2 site...it's not a very good time

No, it's not a very good time when compared to blokes who row enough to bother posting times on the C2 site. But if you want a more realistic comparison, go back to the machine you rowed on, go into memory, select by distance and see how you compare.
