Don't forget most of his suggested work is significantly slower than this <65% of HRR

Are you sure. In his polarzied model he is doing 80% in zone 1 and 2 which is (average) 65-70% max HR.

You will need to go for longer than 2k to get close to MHR - at least 5k flat out.

Why if I may ask? Are you referring to cycling CP20 test as 5k on rower comes close to this?

If you're using % of MHR to set the parameters of your intervals, bear in mind that posture affects HR during exercise. It's typically lower in rowing than it is when cycling, largely because more of you is upright in a normal cycling position and your heart is working harder against gravity. How m...

For parity of Perceived Effort, at higher levels, do you see differences between rowing and cycling Watts Yes, cycling I have a FTP around 250-260 watts for 45-60 min (around 4 w/kg). Cycling I do the intervals around 103-110% of FTP. Erg difficult to say. I take 2k time plus 5 or 10 sec which equa...

So we have the famous research done by Stephen on 4x4min, 4x8 or 4x16min intervals ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51543724_Adaptations_to_aerobic_interval_training_Interactive_effects_of_exercise_intensity_and_total_work_duration ). On the bike I have no problem in doing these intervals ...

Another question. If I use ergdata with BikeErg is says hrm instead of rpm like on the PM5. Can hrm be changed into rpm?

Is there a way to program the following workout:

3x (10x 30sec on - 15 sec rest) with rest between intervals of 3 min

Does anybody know how much seconds the wattage show on the PM5 are smoothened, is it 1 sec, 5 or maybe 30 sec?

Unless you have a Bike erg and treadmill which you also use with Zwift

So are we talking about precise than instead of accurate?

But I also saw a study C2 rower underestimating power with 25watts. Will see if I can find it.

Can you explain why you think that powermeters are more accurate?

I am wondering as we see a lot of debates on powermeters and Bike Erg's like (Tacx, Wahoo, etc) how accurate and precise the C2 BikeErg is. Is it different from C2 rower due to belt driven vs chain driven? Or can we state that C2 rower Watts are as accurate and precise as the BikeErg?

For those interested.

Do not know if already mentioned but some scientific study on ageing in running by Elmer Sterken Endurance and Age: Evidence from Long-Distance Running Data. Well trained decline is 0,5-0,9% VO2max per year for masters.
