Proud of these rowing numbers — especially from where I began.

Have a fit weekend 💪

Wowow. I row regularly and I’m absolutely incapable of going below 2:00 lol. My pace is about 2:43 with a rate of 19–23 (over an hour, mind you)

Yeah but an hour row is legendary and the times for short and long don’t remotely compare imo.

Do you do 500s or shorter distances ever, even for measuring full pace?

Even if I do very short distances, I can’t really get below 2 mins / 500m. And even then I’m instantly dead 😂 I can sustain 2:30 for longer. But yeah, over 30-60’ rowing, I’ll slow down, with an average of ~2:40, starting at maybe 3:00 and coming down to 2:30 after maybe 20 minutes (during which I get to warm up)

Best I can reach is 1:58 on one stroke, and 2:00–2:05 for the rest of those 15 seconds before collapsing 😂 (I’m also in my mid forties, not a spring chicken anymore)

Can you try setting it to 8 and rowing as *hard as you can* for 15 seconds?
