Very impressive your "1:52.7 244 1138 18 "

All the best for your race Mike!

@rowergal well done on the 4x2000. For me the most challenging of the long intervals. Especially the last rep indicates your mental strength.
Did a SS today:

@Mike That was a challenging session! Especially the final 500. Psychological I´d prefer to get out with a piece where success has a higher probability.

I agree that there is a lot of frustrating, conflicting and inconsistent information out there on diet, nutrition, and what constitutes "good health". We are all so different so I think you have to do your homework, give things a try and find out what works best for you. In the end, we are all just...

Thanks Mike! I am preparing for 30min on feb 17th in Starnberg - international german mastership

Well done Mike - when I did it lately I really felt exhausted. It´s funny we had same pace. Today after two days of rest I did the 4x1000 with 5min rest.

@rowerGal Congrats to the PB - this plan is really effective @Mike - interesting interval and great performance. All in all 3500m under 1:50! You´ve earned yourself a good recreation! @David - very good HM needs aerobic base and power and a good backside :D One of the common mistakes in training: To...

Very interesting hints and thoughts for every rower. Thanks! Today i rowed a TT 6k and I was sure to row a PB :D I did the 6k the first time: time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M 23:19.5 6,000m 1:56.6 221 1058 24 159 4:40.4 1,200m 1:56.8 219 1054 26 150 4:40.6 2,400m 1:56.9 219 1053 25 156 4:40.5 3,600...

Congratulation Mike! That will give you confidence for your race. i´m looking forward what PB you will accomplish there.
Regards, Dietmar

very true Mike, would I have only recorded yesterday I probably would have quit after the third rep. Knowing I would post it made me to finish the last one.
And by the way the greatest effect you gain in an interval training is in the last rep.

Hello Brandon, Welcome! Your question "For beginning rowers - and I'm sure this is a personal preference thing but wondering - once you've got a general level of competency on the machine is it better for overall fitness to focus on something like 2k/5k times, or would FM training be a better way to...

Hello, today 4 times 2000 with 5min rest. After three times i really felt fatigued. Knowing that i´d like to post in this thread made me doing the last one, but with a lower pace.
