Ah - you don't!

I cant believe this is a serious question as the math would tell you to reach 30 million in one year you would need to row over 80K meters a day if you rowed every single day....not happening.

There are a couple of guys on the c2 logbook honor board on course for over 30 million+.

ive just read the 32 Million meters and that's over 87,000 a day, every day with out a break, and this season isn't over yet. I would like their job where I could stay on the machine all day.

OK you made me go look and a 61 year old is supposedly on pace for nearly 37 Million this year - over 100K per day...

OP - let us know how you get on. Sounds like trolling to me....

Fair Play to them both, excess 32 million is some going, must be eat, row, eat row, eat row, sleep everyday, hope they have Christmas and Easter Day off for a rest

Pretty ambitious for a guy who just bought a rower one month ago!

I think the answer to the OP's question is to NOT train hard at all. Row at a 3:36 pace for 12 hours a day will get you 100,000 meters per day. That should allow enough time in the day for bathroom breaks, meals, a trip to the grocery store every now and then and 8 hours of sleep before the next slog.

Nothing to do with Ambition, a lot to do with Sceptism and a lot of Sarcasm

Ambition is good! Skepticism is even better when looking at the Concept2 boards during the challenges.
