Your 1000m row time!

jugger0 · 20-09-2011 4:33am

6:45.1 2k... haven't rowed in ages so that's my excuse, 1K wed if im not wrecked after rugby training.

The Guvnor · 20-09-2011 9:31am

Between 2 and 3 minutes

Last thing I did on the erg was 7809m in 30mins early on Monday morning last.

It was surprisingly not that hard and I can see a case for me hitting 8000m in 30mins soon!

How this will translate into a hot 1000m is another question!:D

LOL!

Work this one out if given a choice between a 1k and a 30minute stint - I'm pretty sure I'd go for the 30mins!:D

Tomorrow is Wednesday mate - best of luck!:D

3:07.3 Body was not ready for this, really beat up after rugby but it wasn't too bad at all, surprised myself i was sure id be above 3:10, only a second off my PB i think... might beat it this Friday.

That's a great time. I beat my PB this morning by 4 seconds getting 3.14, mainly thanks to The Guvnor's advice on the previous page.

The Guvnor · 22-09-2011 10:01am

Between 2 and 3 minutes

Some of you guys are getting too good!:D

It puts more than a bit of pressure on me to man up and now aim for at least 3m13.9 next time! LOL

Then 3m06.3!

I did a 2k row at the end of BLABB Week 1 Workout 2.
did it in 7:55.
not great but something to improve on

The Guvnor · 22-09-2011 12:12pm

Nice work Liam.

When doing say 2k's the goal is to always drop say a second per 500m or more so next goal is 7m51.

That said you'll probably blast past 7m40 in no time!:)

hmmm. Did a couple of 3:30 1k rows a couple of years ago now. 3:40 for 1k last week.

Nice result Brian!

3m30 will come back soon.:)

Good work getting an easy 3m09.4!

Pressure keeps piling up for the next 1k! LOL

I done 500m row in 1 min 20 once. Needed a defib after it.

The Guvnor · 25-09-2011 9:04am

1m20 is a fantastic time for 500m mate about 2-3 seconds better than I ever managed.

Inspector Coptoor · 28-09-2011 9:19pm

Less than 2 minutes

Did 2k row again this evening.
Made sure resistance was on level 10.
Time was 7:44.
Hope to have it under 7:30 be end Of the badass programme.

jugger0 · 29-09-2011 2:57am

3:06.9

tried to keep the strokes low for the first 500m, finished at 40 spm...

SuprSi · 29-09-2011 9:17am

Great time - what level are you using at that speed and how many s/m did you start out at? I always seem to hover around the 40 s/m mark - any lower and I don't think I'd get the same sort of times.

Sound bud! I use level 10, at the start i was getting 25 spm but my time started to slip so i started going faster and faster... going low spm feels a bit weird tbh.

catchup · 12-10-2011 10:26pm

Anyone going to go the the Indoor Rowing races in Trinity College November 13th? All 2,000 racing though.

No Chance but I might go along and watch!

2k is 1.5k too long!

Jugger what are you pulling when you start?

Do you go out at sub 1m30 and then try and hang on or what?

Asking as most would start at a higher than 25spm!

I started with a low spm pulling below 1:30, had to increase spm by a lot to finish with a decent time tho! was just trying it out as my spm is usually pretty high for the whole 1k.

Your arms give out first?

I just cannot do level 10 - just goes against countless hours of rowing!:D

There's a team of 4 of use entering. Only 500 each!!

hmmm im not sure actually, i never really feel my arms working too much to be honest, i only feel fatigue in my legs.

Why are you guys doing your ergs with the fan on 10? You should set a drag factor of 130 (or 120 if a lightweight guy). 120 or 115 for women. They are the settings that rowers would use for their tests so if you want to compare times at all (especially for those doing the erg championships), you should be consistent with the drag factors.

When in a rowing completion you set the drag factor to what you like. This might seem a little bit hard to understand but the reason why some of them like to row on 10 is because that's what they feel gets the best out of them. Why do you think you're able to change the setting in the first place.

Steve,

I take your point but if some guy sets the fan to 10 and thrashes Waddell or Drysdale then that is all that counts on the erg.

If comparing rowers for an actual boat then yes more rules as to the drag or damper setting makes a bit of sense.

However individual rowers can gear their oars to suit themselves which may not be the same for every man in the boat etc.

There are some great times being posted here and if the technique is good super, if not - not a major issue.

ATM - I am confident Jugger would hand me my ass on the erg and I would hopefully do likewise on the water after he capsizes!:D

Your 1000m row time!
