How fast can you row 2k?

I thought i was killing it when i did it in 8:10.0 because it was a 20 second improvement on my previous pb but i looked up proper athlete times and they're like 6 and a half minutes. Gutting :/

6:18.3 was my quickest time, although I've not done an ergo in quite some time :/.

The Big boys are pulling high 5:40/5:50's, well Olympic level rowers.

Impressive, how much do you weigh?

I can pull 6:48 at 72kg

most people dont realise theres loads of technique involved in it. If you havent got good form then youre just wasting energy batting up the slide. A decent athletes time for a male is about 7 dead - were not talking olympian or anything, just what youd expect an average fit guy could manage.

That, and putting down the resistance to like 4-5.

Always seems like you have to work that bit harder to cover the same distance at higher resistances? :s

Anyway, the fastest I got was 7:24 last year. Nothing special. Haven't done cardio in a long while, would be buggered now.

if youre not used to it can hurt your back.

the resistance is swings and roundabouts - yes it makes you work harder per stroke, but you go further per stroke.
