Sounds pretty close to me! I hear the people in medieval times had a good machine for making your arms longer. I think they called it the rack

Hi, interesting discussion for sure. My model is below, which uses "already known and easily measurable" predictors. R2 only 82.2% though, less than the stated model. Constantly trying to collect more data so please do fill in the survey. https://cavanhagan.com/rowing-calculator In terms of height, ...

I had a quick try on 100m, which I have never done before. A high drag factor (150 instead of the ususal 120) proved beneficial. Using the 100m result as input, I got 8:19 predicted ; my seasons best is 8:23. Not bad. However, when I just use the power law: t(2K)/t(5K) = (2000/5000)^1.07 , I get t(...

Yea you’re absolutely right, the sample is biased, and is very heavily experienced rowers. And yes you’re right about 100m, but for a power measurement it needs to be short and have minimal aerobic input. Even a 500m has quite a big aerobic component. I could certainly ask for more distances within ...

I got a 6:19 2k estimation which is a lot faster than I can do. IMO a sprint result does not work good for a 2k estimation, esp. a 100m, as it's totally anaerobic, for strong people the estimation is too fast, for very aerobic people too slow. Also, technique is very different for sprints. Well the...

I've just inputted my current 5k PB, and a best guess for a 100m (I've never tried it) and it did give a result of my current 2k PB, so it looks accurate to me.

Thanks for the reply! I’m glad that it was spot on! You really got to try a 100m they’re great fun

Hey everyone, I started this research into predicting 2,000m time late in 2019 and the entire research article is due to be finished in the coming months. I created a calculator that will predict your 2,000m ergometer time based on 5 key predictive variables, and it is 82.2% accurate. It also estima...
