Purely on the back of the technique tips on the other threads. Can't believe how screwed I was, and I can usually hold it at a steady 1:50/500 pace without it hurting that much at all. Fuck, three weeks off training and I'm as unfit as all get out. :evil:

First row I have done in an age where I had to set a target. Can't row to save myself at the moment, but glad to be sub 2:00/500m for 2 K's

out of interest just read on rugbyhevan that keith robinson does the 2km in 6 minutes flat... 12 seconds off rob wardells record.
just confirms the idea that to do 2km fast you need to be eleventy feet tall

Yeah, that is awesome eh - but 12 seconds is a LONG time isn't it - 3 seconds per 500m to knock off...
Being a midget myself it is hard work, to be sure. 5' 11" as opposed to 6' 6" is where it is all at.
I coulda been a contenda!!

Fark that's an incredible time
Try getting the machine to a 1:30 split and see how long you can hold it for.

Prop Cyril has thrown the gauntlet down, the new trimline (118kg) rowing machine posted 6:49 for the 2k the other day. Bastard, it hurts to row that hard!!
And as for prop Cyril, the rower flexes when he puts the power on, he'll probably row the bastard in half if he is not careful!!

Got back into the gym for the first time in a long time as I need to lose 2 and 1/2 stone before I get married.
I did my first row yesterday and this was after a weights session and 35 minutes on the cross trainer.
I did 2km in 10:01. I will do a 2km row shortly with no exercise beforehand and then post my time.

Good work Grubby, rowing will soon melt that excess off of you. you should drop a minute off that time i reckon if you row it before weights rather than after!!

haven't done any fast rowing for ages, but have got 5k challenge going on this month for my rowing team, and hammering it, and it hurts, but a good hurt, and have been getting some good times in lesser distances too!!

I gotta have a crack at this 2 km time - never done it. Usually do 10 or 20 minute rows depending on what else I'm doing, or a 5 km if I really want a test.

broke the 8 minute barrier on this 7.59!
Unfortuantely I wont have access to a concept 2 for much longer - I bought another rowing machine Infiniti R100 which is as good as the concept 2 IMHO - check it out here http://rowing-machine-reviews.elliptica ... eviews.htm.
So the gym membership is going to run out at the end of september so I will use my other rower at hoime and come down to the gym to beat my PB's on the concept 2!

Well, just went to have a quiet row before some time on the bike and some weights. Felt quite good after warming up for a few minutes.
Thought I'd give the 2km a crack again.
7.27.7...pretty happy with that, not least of all because it beats Thomo!!

Well done, Cutter.
That is seriously quick.
I think now I've picked up a few seconds on the 5 km, it's time to try to lower the 2 km again. I have my sights on 7.15-7.20. We shall see.

7.26.1
I tried to get out fast and hold it. With 500 to go I was on track for about 7.20 but really struggled especially the last 300m and faded. Had to sit with my head down for about 1 min to avoid falling off the machine!
Still, it's a PB by a little.

good work there Cutter. STart with baby steps - if your split is 1:43.1, make sure you always row under that, and when it drops to 1:43, kep it on or below that, and so on - that way you end up negative splitting (which is good, apparently).
Top times.
I have not rowed for two weeks -been running with BartWoman and crook with a cold over the weekend and now - so going to take the week off - or at least until tomorrow morning from anything!!
Sucks, but sometimes is your body telling you off!

6:48.5. Starting to get a bit of fitness back too so will hopefully knock a chunk off my 10km time as well.
Bart I find it really tough using your strategy. I start with a strong 500m, drift a little during the middle 1000m and come home strong in the last 500m.

that is the key - during the 'drift', make sure that your ave time does not climb back up, so keep on it or just below before going trying to commit suicide by rowing over the last 500m...!!
