Concept2 Forum

Yes I understand, really a good approach! the PetePlan gives me a good path that I can easily follow - and it has also improved every cycle. Then I will start slowly again soon when my HFV (the infection was very clear there - the day of the positive test rapidly downwards - exciting to see how well...

I’m in an adjacent boat to you, @Bow, in that I’m a 47 year old former collegiate varsity lightweight (6’/183cm; 165lbs/75kg) who had last touched a 30’ 8K more than 8 years ago. I’ve maintained a functional baseline of fitness since then though hadn’t chased erg PB’s in almost a decade. Most years...

Quick Update - so im following the pete plan now in the 3 week cycling ("1 Week" is mostly 1-2Weeks in real time ;-) ). this week the fourth cycle week 1 (Start December 29). Did almost every Session like the Pete Plan prescribes. The last cycle switche the long steady sessions a bit up to crossfit ...

It's not about abbreviating all sessions for me, but "only" the long, slow ones. "If you are looking for a “lighter” version of the above training plan comprising only 3 sessions per week, and with a lower duration per session, look no further than Pete Plan 2007 Lite, below:" there the plan was onl...

"Steady distance work: I say 10k+ for the distance of these sessions, but in reality anything from 20mins in duration is beneficial as aerobic work." @ https://thepeteplan.wordpress.com/5k-training/ So is there any evidence to read? I mean if there is only a improvement bei 1-2% if i row 1h instead ...

For reference, my 5k PB was started at 165 finished at 180bpm HR

whats your lactat threshold? i know have to improve my anaerob capacity - because my garmin says my threshold is at 161 (tested in running).

"eg 6km test" was on water - and there is another component - the glide (dont know what its called in english, but i think you can imagine what i mean) on water which is essential technique for rowing. So on the Concept2 is not usefull to "go slow"

yeah spm would bei the key (in short races no problem, but in long rows - eg 6km test i like the slow^^) today 30r20 (firsttime, never heard about it before this forum) 30:00.0 6,807m 2:12.2 W151 Cal821 SPM20 HR156 again around 80% max (last 7Min above lactate threshold, last minute all out "empty t...

yes, a few centimeters of height difference used to be worlds when rowing. in youth on the water still compensable through strength and technique. That's why I was unsure whether it was even possible to achieve this. What could the training look like? Training will not be possible 5x a week (12-13h ...

I'm 40 years old, 171 cm tall and weigh 75 kg. Would describe myself as a crossfitter, strength and endurance in harmony, the last year just a little lazier with 2x/week training. I rowed in my youth at state level (that's why I'm very familiar with the technique). In my youth my PB was ~7600m @65kg...
