What pace (500 average) are you guys typically rowing at for shorter and longer distances?
|
|
1/15: 15000/134000
Since I go for distance to try to build up my muscle endurance, I am aiming for 2:00-2:10 per 500m pace. I am going to be incorporating some sprint interval work soon as well. Based on my long distance pace, I imagine a full out 20-30sec sprint would be between 1:40-1:50, maybe faster, not sure. My C2 logbook will show 2:20-2:30 paces for my rows because I jump off at various intervals and do strength exercises like push ups, sit ups, squats, etc, and then get back on for the next interval. |

Maybe 3 or 4 sets depending on any other work performed in between or during the day. Other times I might just go for max 1 minute sprint for meters |

5000/68,000
So does anyone want to recommend some underwear that will keep me from, um, “rolling my stones” while rowing? Nothing painful is happening but there’s definitely some movement that is disconcerting. |

I don't know if you can completely stop the movement of your balls, just because your thighs are so close together. You can minimize the rolling. I find the Tesla compression underwear from Amazon does well, as does the Baleaf compression underwear. www.amazon.com/dp/B074DQXLJ6Tesla is showing not available with that link, but they might be somewhere under a different name. www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR7MQZA View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

just got the rower 2 days ago and jumped right in...thou not the #s id like. Did 5000 m yest and today for my first rows.
5000m about 2:17 pace-I cant believe some of the #s the erg community puts up. I knocked 12 seconds off on my 2nd try. This rower kicks my ass. When Im done, I collapse. But its a great machine and the data and log book are outstanding. Im 53 and in fair shape and can ski 14,000 foot mtns -heading to the alps again in 2 weeks. I joined the arfcom erg club. |

View Quote Concept2 First Workouts I’ve also been using the workout of the day quite a bit to keep myself from just hopping on and doing an easy 5000 meters and calling it good. I’m discovering that you can really get a lot of work in on it. |

1/29: 12000/239000
I see some people broke, or about to break, 100k meters. Good work. Way to stay with it. |

1/30: 16000/255000
One more day for January. Good work everyone |

Okay, I'm in.
I'm dealing with some issues, so am going to act my age (60) and take an easy and sane start. Didn't want to post till I thought I'd be okay with it, in fact. In the last week, I had 3 easy, easy rows of 2k meters at a 3:00 pace, and everything felt nominal. Focus on technique, and on seeing if a knee would blow up. It did not. So, as of yesterday, 2000/6000m. I'm rowing on a Concept 2 Model B with upgraded ergonomics (handle and flexfoot) and electronics. |

I took a couple of weeks off due to feeling really beat up. I've gained quite a bit of weight since I started rowing due to a ravenous appetite and I think overall, I was just pushing too hard for my current condition. Now that I've rested up, I'm going to start back really easy and do far fewer days per week for now.

For those of you on the C2 Logbook, their February challenge is coming up. Row 14k meters between 2/9 & 2/14. Not too hard but it's a small window.
