hey, I'm just starting my adventure with the ergometer, currently my time for 1000m is about 4 minutes. I'm wondering if I can get down to about 3.30 or lower in 4 months or if it's not possible, and if possible, what to do, thanks in advance
I did 1000m for the first time yesterday in the gym - it nearly killed me. What made it worse was that my trainer had me doing squats supersetted with walking lunges afterwards. I'd only been doing 500m sprints up until now and got to a PB of 1:35. My 1000m time was 3:36 which made for an average 500m split time of 1:48 over the distance. Upon calm reflection that night, I wondered if I'd started of too hard? At the start, my instantaneous 500m splits were about 1:41 but this slowly dropped of as the row progressed until, at the end, it was 1:50. I'm wondering if I could have achieved the same result with greater ease had I controlled my power output all the way through so I was consistently doing 500m splits of 1:48?
You could try to pace the beginning a little better. Ideally you would want to keep a good pace in the beginning and then turn it up with around 250m left and empty the tank out. Try that out next time and really try to stick to the pacing in the beginning even though it feels easy. It will get a lot harder around 500m but hopefully you have enough left in the tank to hold that pace and even go faster towards the end.
This was a frigging hopeless video. No talks about technique, about breathing, just talking about the most obvious breaking down into 250 m blocks. Had to put on 1.5X speed and still absolutely hated it. This should be relabelled - beginner guide- how to do a 1000 m row. Its very little to do with optimising or getting a PB
This was super helpful! Especially the part about changing the display screen
Thank you for your explanation of the display screen. Best explanation I've seen!
Anytime!

What percentage do you pull before 250m?

It's almost the samething if you do it on a boat in a Master Rowing Regatta.
I need to know how to cox
Best i could do was 1000m in 4:44 mins at level 7
This Is Too Complicated It’s a 1k You sprint it you dir
Adam MacDonagh oh god
More to it than that if youre trying to really maximize your performance
Post the vid of your 1000...cant wait
