Between 2 and 3 minutesVery Good time H!
3m22 would mean second 1k was 3m34.
I can only imagine the anguish as the splits started dropping in the 3rd 500m and legs by then were hanging on?
Good on you for doing it - the thought of a 2k scares me!

I'd the projected finish showing the entire time. I knew once I held 1.45-1.47 for the last 500 I'd come in under 7. When I came thru the first 1km at 3m 22s I knew I was gonna be fine.
Tbh even thru the last 250m I was comfortable. It was only after that it hit me.
I'm half thinking of < 3min 1km. Is that even doable?!0 -
Between 2 and 3 minutesIs sub 3m doable for 1km well yes it is.
However it is far harder than you'd think.
IMO - the 500m can be muscled to some extent.
Big Loz (Strongman) has done a 1m19 500m which is immense.
The 2k is where you really need good technique and fitness.
Remember Matthew Pinsent - don't think he'd ever pulled even for a stroke or two much less than 1m12-1m14 and at his time in the GB camp when doing max power tests one or two would hit 1m09 or so.
However he did average 1m26 or a bit less for a 2k and did 1m39 and a bit at altitude for 30mins 9k+ in half an hour. 1m30 for 15mins which was a 5k.
No doubt he would have done a sub 2m50 for a 1k at his peak imo maybe 2m48 or so.
Now the thing is - he'd not look rushed - still great technique - setting 4-5, maybe 6.
We might get it lower for a single stroke than he would or the same kind of time but what they have is the ability to maintain near maximum power for a lot longer than we could ever dream of.
Now is a 1k a sprint or an endurance event?
My dentist who is an ex rower thinks 2m59.9 is doable but he felt you needed to be training hard for it for a 6-12 months - doing your 20 minute pieces to build endurance and then bring in the speed whilst also working on your strength such as squats, cleans, bench pulls etc.
Here is the things you'd do sub 1m30 for 500m right?
If you set the pace boat for say 1m30 - I would see how long I could match him for - could you get 600m or more at 1m30?
Sean (dentist) wants the 6-12months of dedicated training so that one can achieve the sub 3mins without needing an ambulance and oxygen on standby at the end.
However I am of the opinion if one wants to revisit a meal or two and is prepared for unhuman levels of discomfort then maybe the 3k could be achieved in a faster manner by working up to it.
500m at 1m30
550m at 1m30 etc.
I could drop down to Rev and offer some advice in a do as I say and don't be wondering why I left my training gear at home kind of way! 0 -

Yeah I tink the long distance endurance work makes a lot of sense - kind of matches how long distance sprinters train too. Better your endurance, the longer it takes to go anaerobic and the longer you can stay producing power before lactate wins!
I've done a 1m 23.8s 500m. Just looked and my 1km PR was 3m 20s, but I'm guessing my rowing fitness is far above that.If you set the pace boat for say 1m30 - I would see how long I could match him for - could you get 600m or more at 1m30?
Reckon I probably could... you're looking at what, another 18s or so at that pace to get to 600m?Sean (dentist) wants the 6-12months of dedicated training so that one can achieve the sub 3mins without needing an ambulance and oxygen on standby at the end.

I wonder what brute force and pig ignorance could do alright. Can't really say I fancy trying tho. Might take a lash at a 500 some time next week. I don't have my C2 in RF sadly
CAn't wait to move somewhere bigger so I can rob it off Barry. 0 -
