10k@2k Pace

[[old] Canoeist]

My wife bought me an erg for Christmas in 1995. I was in fairly good shape (I always have been in good shape) but it took me two or three tries and some sore lungs to get a 2K under 7 min. (1:45 pace)<br><br>About 6 million meters later, I was able to do a 10K at a 1:45 pace. (35 minutes) Same sore lungs though!<br><br>Paul Flack

I remember my first 2k, I pulled it about 10 months ago at 6:58.6, which is slightly below a 1:45. My best 10k was recently 35:42, which is just over 1:47. Maybe it's not quite there yet, but my 5k I do in 17:22, a little under 1:44.5. I'll be honest: I'm satisfied with that. Maybe in the next few months my 10k will move it down there also.
