I don't think you can make that kind of comparison or calculations for that matter. Rowing is not like squatting and vice versa. Specially 2k wich is more or less an aerobic distance. On short distance like 500m and lower down to 100m sprint.....then maybe pure strength has an effect, the shorter th...

Was aiming for 30 min r24 around 1:52/500 but stopped at 5000m and 18:35, broke my old 19:08 PB so pretty happy.
Could possibly go faster gearing up I guess. Sub 18:00 does not feel unrealistic in a couple of month.

Many answers here. Thanks for good feedback :) I'm an fairly new rower and are doing some low rate work, the reason I'm curious is that I would like to know how to pace sessions gearing up and increasing pace maintaining same or similiar watt. Stroke lenght will be affected yes. If there are any rel...

This topic has properly been handled before but can't find the topic. I wonder if there are any connection between stroke rate and watt and how to calculate pace in a simple way. Let's say I row 20spm 2:00/500m 200watt. If I gear up to 22spm and still use same amount of 200watt, what will the pace b...

Have not been rowing much lately but tried the 4x2000m 5r for first time yesterday and it felt pretty hard with avg: 01:50.2. Manage to increase every split so that's positive pacing. Perhaps should started with a bit faster pace.

01:52.6
01:50.2
01:49.4
01:48.6

Did try the 8x750m 1r couple of days ago with the following split avg 1:48.7, hade a little trouble finding correct pacing.
1:48.6 1:48.2 1:48.5 1:48.2 1:48.2 1:48.9 1:49.6 1:49.6

Session felt harder than 4x1500m 5r but with pretty much same avg speed as 8x750m 1r as end result.

Thanks for input. Is there any other good sessions aimed for 5k ? I only have 2 session a week to spare at rowing. I did a 4x1500m session (yesterday) first since a posted this thread a month ago. I need more consistency going forward I guess. I had the same total split time but not ideal split sinc...

Hi, I've been rowing for about 2 month with 1-2 sessions a week. My goal is to go under 18:00 in 5k. I did try 5k 2 years ago ending up at 19:08. I've basically done some 30r20 and a couple of 4x1500m session. What average pace should I aim at to be able to hit sub 18:00 on these sessions ? I only h...

Thanks for input! I will give it a try next session.

Hi, I have been rowing for about a month and are trying to figure out my HR zones and lactate HR for rowing. I've done lactate testing for running but can these be applied to rowing ? For running my threshold HR was calculated to 167 HR at mmol/ 4.0. I believe my lactate for rowing is not very far f...
