"Keeping consistent pace" - does it say anything?

[Den_Thorn]

Hi folks,

If some1 simple says regarding to rowing "try to keep consistent pace", does it say all about what exactly value trainee should keep - distance per some time, time per some distance or spm?
Just interesting because i often see instructions like "Row 40 minutes keeping consistent pace" with no any future clarifications.

Sorry in adv if it is sort of stupid question

500m split time....much revolves around that in erg world.

Same rate (strokes per minute) and same pace (time per 500m or Watts) - it's the most efficient way to complete a given distance in a given time.
