Math geek modus on: Nope, you would need 10k in a 5 day week to reach 2.5 million. But that kind of usage is not uncommon at all and 5k would be enough to easily reach over 1 million.

Been erging since may '14. Currently at 3.6MM meters. Probably 90% of this on home machine; 20% at YMCA gym.

Lot of zombie pulling in the monthly C2 challenges, T_M. I don't recommend it as it kills pace. I'm sure you're a better athlete for not emphasizing pulling chain for its own sake. Jack
