Time crunch to get 7:00 2k

[Dexter]

Hey all,

I recently got a concept2, about 2 weeks ago. Prior to me getting it, I’d never rowed. I have a test in 5 weeks that I’m
trying to get a 7:00 for the 2k. I am 5’11 and 195lb. From what I’m reading here it takes 6+ months of training to get to that level, but that seems a bit long. I think 1-2 months is very doable. I will report back within 6 weeks with my time. Pray for me

Hi, amount of needed training is very depending on your starting point. My first 2k was 6:58, but I did not start from zero.
If you already did several sessions per week in other activities you could be right. You get to know your starting point in doing a benchmark 2k right now.

Boom. Did it. 6:54 for my first 2k after 6-7 weeks of training

That's a really solid result after such a short period of training. Many people will never achieve it, so you should be proud.

Motivation: https://log.concept2.com/rankings/2023/ ... s=verified You are top 10% of your age group now. Top 50 is 6:46.9 Good Luck.

Impressive! Quite in your same age/height etc but different results ! (7:28 is my PB). Do you have an athlete history before?
