What time should i be aiming for on a 2k Test.

Unless you are one who is driven by wanting to PB all of the time (which IMO is not a healthy way to erg)

Depends a bit on where you are on the arc of development. If you're early on in your erging career and training regularly then improvement can be rapid. PBs can come from 95% efforts and can just happen in the context of a training piece.

When you get to the sharp end of your capabilities or the limits of progression in your training then it gets rather more challenging

Yes, if they just happen from solid efforts in training pieces thats fine. Just don't make focusing on wanting to set PB's every time you train be your priority, was basically my point.

Of course i am also fully aware, going 7:00 or sub 7 is an entirely different animal to going sub 8 in the sense it's going to take much more work and time to get it done. And like you say, getting to the sharp end of your capabilities or the limits of progression. The journey is great though if you stay with it!! At least it has been for me thus far

Nice job, Anth_F!! I look forward to your next 2k-test. 7:10-15

Thanks a ton bud!! I would certainly take that time come next test day. I'm confident enough, and putting in the graft so i don't see why it shouldn't be achievable.

Lets see
