Re: Confused about settling on a reasonable 2k pace

Result:
1:49.2 t30
1:49.5 t29
1:49.7 t29
1:49.3 t30

Let's hope it translates, because I would be very happy with a sub 7:20 2k as a first test! And to prove Sakly wrong ofc haha.

21-8-2024 male 35, 80 kg, 182cm (~6ft) 4x1000r3:30 to find my 2k target. Goal was to keep it under 1:50.

Re: Confused about settling on a reasonable 2k pace

Interesting harry! You seem like a long distance beast wow. Goes to show that everyone is different. I just did a 1:37.7 500m after an hour of ss, which was at least showing I have the sprint speed for a 1:48 2k, but I'm sure the lungs are lacking. Will soon do that 4x1k interval training to know fo...

Re: Confused about settling on a reasonable 2k pace

Re the 300s, will depend upon what rating you maintained I rated at 30spm which is my target rate for my 2k. I guess I could have gone faster if I rated higher because they should be sprints. And yes I would very much prefer not to fly and die, did that once before in a dry hall as my first 2k. My ...

Re: Confused about settling on a reasonable 2k pace

Thank you all for the response! I will do some longer intervals to get more information about my fitness. Is the extra 13kg muscle, fat or both, and have you been sedentary for the past 16 years, excluding your recent increase in activity? In 2018 I did strength training for a year and gained 8 kg o...

Confused about settling on a reasonable 2k pace

Hello everyone, After having bought a concept2 erg in february I have taking indoor rowing more seriously lately. I've rowed competitively for a year in 2007/8 (trained 6x per week) and think I have reasonable technique. My 2k PR back then was 6:58 at 68 kg and 1,82m. I'm looking for a 2k pace to tr...
