Re: How to drop 2k by 30 seconds?

Do you have a heart rate monitor? 2k+18 is about where I land for UT1 work, and one great way of improving endurance is doing a lot of low intensity steady state. I'm usually more like 2k+27 to 2k+28. Have you played around with different race plans and suboptimal 2ks to get over the 2k mental bloc...

Re: How to drop 2k by 30 seconds?

As said above improvements that quick only come through resolving serious technique issues or people learning to really push themselves, neither of which sound likely given your current pace. If you put a video from the side on here those more knowledgeable than me might have technique issues for y...

 You'll probably need a bigger stroke, say 240W at rate 20. After a due holiday, see what style changes may be needed. The endurance to pull 200 like that will take time.

Afloat, what rates do you race at?

OTW we usually race at a 33-34, which is kind of harder for me to keep up but I manage

 Thank you so much for the reply.
Just to clarify, I meant my time should be lower not the stroke rate. Sorry for the confusion

My 2k time is 7:01, stroke rate 29-30 (Should be lower but I played a different sport in the winter so I didn’t make it to many practices). Coach told me he wanted me to be at 6:30 by the time the season starts (august 20). He tends...
