Sometimes I pick a piece and race it and when I made it it’s ok when I don’t finish it I still ok because I have a lot of training km. I like rowing and try doing a lot of km. every day. But I like to have a goal and when I row I see of I gonna make it or not. So now and then I have to stop early. Hennie

500 m x 8, 2' rest. 1:33.8 (31) 1:33.5 (30) 1:33.4 (31) 1:33.3 (30) 1:33.2 (30) 1:33.0 (30) 1:33.2 (31) 1:32.6 (31) as stated before, the 500 m x 8 pace does not correspond to the 2000 m pace. if it did i would be capable of 6'15" over 2000 m. my fastest 2000 m this year (in a qualifying event) was 6'27". i am not in any way an anaerobic monster, someone that is with a lot of strenght and relatively lacking in endurance. most of my training is long distance. i don't lift anymore, but when i used to, i was not particularly strong (never squatted more than 130 kg). my nickname should be self explanatory. in my experience the 500 m x 8 pace, 2' off = 2000 m pace - 3".

Chickenlegs, Being an "anaerobic monster" is very different from being a max strength monster. Anaerobic monster means strength endurance and you can't have both extreme strength endurance and max strength. That your max strenght is not so high can therefore be interpreted as something to make you more likely to be an anaerobic monster. You know best if you are or aren't off course. Im just straightening out the principle.

Have you tried doing that with shorter rest periods? Although you might not achieve the same pace, it may be a better workout for a 2K. Neil M/US/LW/38

Tried biking on a machine from Life Fitness. Kept 275w for half an hour and I was hardly starting to breathe more. The bike monitor said my HR was 170, but it was nothing like HR 170 on the erg. Nothing new I guess, just confirming old truths.

Today: An hour of running and later an hour of rowing.

[old] Jim Barry · Post by **[old] Jim Barry** » May 30th, 2005, 11:12 pm

This afternoon, an hour of mtn biking. In the evening my riding/training partner showed up and we did another hour. Very wet and muddy. On the roots and moss covered rocks it was about as rough a ride as it gets. When I came home I was cold and as I peeled off my wet muddy stuff, I sort of missed the cleanliness of the erg and its constant cozy hum. But then again, I was never bored today (too scary).

2' on and 1' easy working on my power in my drive. I did 10 reps @ 1:59 pace 20-21 spm. HR was hitting 160 at the end of the reps and settling to 120 on the easy paddle. This is sort of an off season version of this same row where I work for 5' at that power and SR combination.
