Concept2 Forum

I'm doing some recruiting at my gym FYI. Trying to get some more female rowers in the boats as well.

Welcome Oliver!

After this weekend I'll be a bit more active on the CTC. Have been doing it a few times per month but plan on once a week at least after my tournament.

Ive only been erging about twice a week lately due to an upcoming Jiu Jitsu tournament so I had a question as to what our team is really focusing on, the C2 challenge or the CTC? I can do the CTC challenge one day and then a longer piece another day to satisfy both but just thought I'd ask.

Are we automatically enrolled in team challenges? I couldn't find a place to join so I logged 1m (which I'll make up ) and saw that it got entered towards challenge.

Adam, should be 2:00.8. So according to our Dutch uncle, try 1:59.8. 2:07 wouldn't be a "challenge" for you! Doh! Ok I submitted my worst time which was 1681. I'm going to try this several more times throughout the month. I'll work on 1:59:8 pacing. Learning so much here. Ok, pulled 1774 for my wor...

5k pace minus 1 ish. Your current real 5k.

Just calculated my last 5k pace. I rowed it in 20:08 and ran that through the pace calculator on the ISS site and came up with 2:08. That sound right to you veterans?

Hey there, I'm currently researching VO2 Max testing protocols using a metabolic cart and have come across different means of increasing intensity throughout the test. The method I've come across deals with decreasing pace by 2 second intervals thougout the test every minute. Just wanted to inquire ...

Thanks for the update! I'm on this plan as well, 4 days per week and haven't tested out yet but already feel some improvements. I think 4 days is too much when you take in to account my weightlifting and martial arts schedule but I'm powering through. Sounds like tons of training in my world, dont ...

Ok great, thanks hjs!

Ok, just to make sure:

We row 3x7min with 5mins rest and only submit the worst 7min piece?

Sorry, I'm still pretty new here

Any word on a February challenge?? Aways here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5g3D9uF11a8 3x7 min, rest 5 min. Standing start, worse result counts. So pacing is very important. Am I correct in assuming the challenge is how much distance we cover, or how much power we generate in each 7m interval?

Update: Im on week 12 of 16 of the programme. My setting is Athlete Level 2, 3 Sessions a Week. The test i did after 8 weeks lowered my 2k time from 7:18.6 to 7:09.9. I adjusted the programme after the test(week 8) to mach my new 2k time. Ive followed advises to train each zones using %Watt of my 2...

Welcome!

Hey There, I'm looking to join a team and after poking around here it seems you guys are pretty active. I'm on a team already but it's pretty dead. Also, the CTC looks pretty cool, although I'm not entirely sure what it entails. Are you guys accepting new members? Do I have to leave my other team t...
