    You can put two 1m31.3 500m's together but when you do 4 you slip to 1m42.5.

    Your time for 1k would put you 1st-3rd most years for a 15 year old in the world rankings.

    Are you this good?:)

    Well, I'm a rugby player so I can pretty much just belt it out for 1000m, and I threw up several times after my 3:02:)

    My training too initially was all quite short distance, ie at the All Irelands it was a 5 minute row.

    Also, don't think that would put me near 1st-3rd in world rankings, guy who has the WR for U16 2K got 5:54, and U15 is sub 6:05, many competitors to these all are within a few seconds.

    If you go by the online ranking for 1000m and stipulate 15 years old - 3m02 in most cases would be 1st for the year and at worst 3rd.

    Being a rugby player has bugger all impact on being good on the erg - some guys are good - Andy Ripley being one but Johno never did less than 6m20 which might be considered not great for such a big chap.

    3m02 is a very good time - I'm just surprised your 1k is so good and 2k is average that's all.

    He was talking about your 1k

    Those online rankings aren't really worth a toss. To get on them the time either needs to be rowed in an official race or submitted by someone who has gone to the trouble of digging out the code associated with the performance from their rowing machines memory. I suspect a huge majority of the best rowing scores don't fall into either of those categories.

    As lovelyoner says, the WR for his age group is sub 6mins for 2k which is (obviously) two sub 3min 1ks back to back so he's a bit off that pace(for now).

    Having said all that 3:02 is still a superb time; hope you give up the rugby(coz its pants) and join a boat club.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭The Guvnor


    Between 2 and 3 minutes
    But when the age range is 13-18 there is a big, big difference in being 15 or 18.

    My whole point here was that for a 15 year old 3m02 is an excellent if not exceptional time over 1000m.

    For a 15 year old between 2002 and 2010 the best 2k times were:
    • 6m04 in 2004
    • 6m01 in 2002 both done in a C2 race
    • 3 others went sub 6m20 as in 6m19 between 2002-2010
    • Some years the best time was 6m20-6m22.
    I know we can say - all the best rowers never submit their times but I disagree and when you see times for 15 year olds not upto 18 years of age over a 9 year period it has to be a reasonable indication of where the best in the world are at 15 years of age.

    Concept 2 also dispute certain times based on historical data for example if a 15 year old did a 5m50 2k on his own and not in a race or verified in a club it would be discounted.

    Officially LL would have been 1st every year over 1000m between 2002-2010 except 2004 when 1st place did a 2m59.

    If you look at the 2k times from 2002-2010 with only 3 being at 6m19 and bugger all in the low 6m20's - I'd question how many of these would get a 3m02 for 1k.

    For 500m for a 15 year old very few do better than 1m30 which suggests power is not fully developed hence muscling the machine is hard.

    I was just saying that LL's time of 3m02 is top drawer for a 15 year old and if at 16 you go sub 3 mins that'll be just as good if not better!:)

    You were a member of a rowing club weren't you Guvnor? Have you ever submitted a time to concept for ratification? Do you remember anyone in your club doing so?

    I never rowed on water but I know plenty of guys who do and plenty who raced just on Concepts and none of them ever bothered to send times they did in training sessions or time trials into Concept.

    .....ahh who cares, we're agreed, its a great time.


    What event did you compete in in Paris Lovelyoner? 15-16Jnr wasn't 2k and 17-18Jnr looks like the first Irish came in around 6:58?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭The Guvnor


    Between 2 and 3 minutes
    I did submit 500m, 30min and 60min details. Never a 2k as the club preferred the 2.5k!

    I do agree that back in the late 90's and early 00's not many rowers submitted times to c2.

    However now it is compulsory in most national rowing set-ups for their athletes to compete in the indoor trials over 2k.

    You'd have to assume that the best guys on the erg over any distance by and large are going to be the rowers.

    Defo agree it's a really good time!:)

    been a while since this has come up so just posting a rowing wod i did yesterday

    1mins row, 1mins off,
    1min row, 50secs off
    1mins row, 40secs off
    1mins row, 30secs off
    1mins row, 20secs off
    1mins row, 10secs off
    1mins row, 20secs off etc and work your way back up to 1mins row, 1mins off.

    I kept average rowing distance for the on part to 292m in each one minute. Never any lower than 288m.

    Give it a go and its less than 25mins so done quickly and on the off portion do not row at all just chill out - you are going to need it.

    3.33 :D

    Tried it today at the end of a conditioning session which included a block of 10 150m rows beforehand, so I'm well happy! It used to take me near 5 mins! :) I'm definitely trying it fresh next time.

    That's good going G86. I haven't beaten my PB of 3.38 yet. I haven't really been trying that hard lately, I usually try it at the end of the week and am always wrecked. Am doing about 4 weight's sessions, 2 soccer training sessions and a match every week. I've been trying to squeeze in a Rowing HIIT session every now and again and they are seriously gruelling.

    I do them like this:
    5 minute warmup
    10x1 minute flat out rowing with 1 minute casual rowing in between sets. I try to keep moving, never fully stopping.
    5 minute warm down

    Total: 30 mins

    Today I felt like puking my ring up so I knew it was good.
    No other exercise I've ever done comes close to fecking me up like rowing HIIT does, not even running HIIT!

    Before I dislocated my shoulder I was doing 2k in 8 mins flat at the end of every gym session. I'll note my time this evening on 1k at the start of my sesh and update you all later this eve

    LOL!

    I 'might' try one tomorrow.
    I'll stick the pace boat at 1m43 and see what gives.

    Have you tried a 1k recently D?:D

    Did this tonight and it was TOUGH! Really started to lull there in the middle but bounced back massively when the rest time was back up to 30 secs. You animal, I just about managed an average of 255m for every interval!

    Edit: And it only took about 18 mins so was a great workout to get in fast! :)

    1000m times comes in at slightly under 4 minutes, always do it at the end of the workout though (that makes me feel slightly better :D).

    good job and this could be done running on a treadmill also or even using a cross trainer set at high/low levels

    2mins on 1mins off x 6 rounds today for me.

    Slowest 2mins was 560m and quickest 578m - think if you could hit 530-550m per rounds on this would be a good target for most guys

    Just continuing this really as did - 1000m row x 3 rounds with 90secs break between efforts - 3.28m average per round - go beat it!!


    So not going absolutely flat out on these

    Did 140kg deadlifts 5 reps + 30 double unders 90sec break x 5 rounds after

    Got to do another session later so back to work

    That's good.

    I've yet to go flat out either the 3m26.1 IIRC was 'comfortable' - thing is though as we both know pacing a flat out attempt is difficult.

    Steady and get quicker or hard and die a death in the last 200m!

    Beat the 3m28 or the 3m28 x 3? Bit of a difference!

    Can I use historical results?

    Seriously if you were to go flat out where do you think you'd be - I need a marker to beat by 0.1 second! :D

    Ok - so I finally bit the bullet and succumbed to the online peer pressure to do another 1k piece on the erg!

    Everything was good hit the gym about 9.30am today - did a bit of stretching for ten minutes and then headed over to the ergs.

    Decided it was best to do a bit of a warm up as I had not sat on an erg since my last 1000m piece which was the 9th of February. [http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=70560120&postcount=120]

    TBH - going sub 1m40 felt a bit iffy so not overly confident of hitting my target of sub 3m20.

    So anyway in respect of Dominic I whipped off my t-shirt and got ready :D - set the pace boat to 1m43 which was my previous best this year.

    Well I shot off - was doing 1m28 for the first few strokes and was still under 1m37 when I went through the first 200m.

    I then told myself to take it easy - conscious of not finishing.

    I did 3m17.8 averaging 1m38.9/500m and 29SPM.

    200m splits were:
    • 1m34.5 & 32SPM
    • 1m39.2 & 27SPM
    • 1m40.7 & 27SPM
    • 1m40.7 & 27SPM
    • 1m39.2 & 32SPM

    ^^^ Those splits are remarkably consistent and this was not in anyway intentional. ^^^

    I was fresh and did this at the start so no excuses. Could I have gone quicker - I kind of think so but I was keen to have something left for the last 200m.

    I think I could have kept the 1m35 ish pace at the start for another 100m without it being so bad and for the 3rd and 4th splits think if I had manned up properly these could have been under 1m40 as in 1m39.8 or so. If all of this had come off the time could have been perhaps at best 2 seconds quicker.

    Bit dissapointed with the stroke rates - be nicer if it was under 28 or even 26. However quite happy with the time.

    It was pretty hard but not throw up time at the end. My heart did get up to about 170-180 over the piece but the 2 minute heart rate recovery had it back down at 120.

    Next goal is sub 3m15.

    I did a back session afterwards and if truth be told was feeling the effects of the erg for a good 20 minutes afterwards!:D

    Your easily good for 3m15 imo but unless there is a C2 event in the CF regionals best to fully focus on what you're going to be doing there.

    Slight thread derail but when and where are the regionals and who's the main competition?

    yes there is a 1000m row in the first event but now is not the time to be practicing that.

    events are here - http://games.crossfit.com/features/announcing-regional-workouts

    competition? Every other bloke that made it to regionals really.

    Good work mate. A bit quicker than I would like (more pressure) - 3m08 dead or 3m08.something?

    Anyone going sub 3mins will need to take a picture to verify it!:D

    3m08 was your flat out max? If so 8 seconds is a long time to shave off - does not sound like it sitting here but on the machine it's a bit different!:)

    Think it was 3m08.4. Yeah flat out max... i reckon it will indeed take a while to break the 3 min mark unfortunately.. i might do a few sets of 500m for a few days and then get back to it, oh ya ill take a picture for sure, its a great thing to do for a warm up, nothing like it!

    Thats a great time!! It's taken me months to knock off 4 seconds of my 1000 metre time. I managed to do a 3:25 2 weeks ago but you really need to be doing this seriously to knock off 8 seconds.

    I was wrecked after my 3:25, almost puking, I left the gym after that. I think that's my limit. I've gone back to 2000 metre rows at a non-killing pace for my warm ups.

    I did 1:34 for 500M in 2009 so I put myself safely in the 3-4min range.

    I've seen professional rugby players row, I've never seen any of them hold a 1:00/500M pace apart from on a max power test (One stroke).

    jugger - that 0.4 second makes all the difference in terms of trying to chase the time! :D

    It's only 1m34.2!

    Rakish defo in the 3m-4m range.

    I don't follow what you are on about re: the rugby players - you saying the can get a 1m even on the machine for a stroke or two?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭The Guvnor


    Between 2 and 3 minutes
    Antivirus - 4 seconds is a lot in terms of a 1000m piece.

    At the very sharp end even 0.4 second is a lot!:D

    More times posted please - we all need (read I need) a good motivational kick up the rear to do more of these!

    I was wrecked after my 3:25, almost puking, I left the gym after that. I think that's my limit. I've gone back to 2000 metre rows at a non-killing pace for my warm ups.

    Yeah after the 2ks im usually flat out on the floor trying to hold down my lunch, the 1ks arent much better to be honest! im not sure which is worse.

    How tall are you by the way? i think tall lads have alot more potential for better times.

    I'm 5'10 and I'm 75.5kg. I would have thought longer legs would be an advantage, lol.

    Antivirus - 4 seconds is a lot in terms of a 1000m piece.

    At the very sharp end even 0.4 second is a lot!:D

    More times posted please - we all need (read I need) a good motivational kick up the rear to do more of these!

    It's taken about 4 months to just come down by 4 seconds and that's rowing every time I go to the gym. The amount of extra power I need to put in just to knock of 5 seconds is an extra average 25watts (325 -> 350) over the 3:20,

    To go from a time of 3:08.4 to 3 mintues flat you need to go from anverage of 418.7 -> 480.1 :eek:

    As The Guvnor say, "At the very sharp end even 0.4 second is a lot! :D" is very true.

    I found a great calculator on the Concept2 website if anyone is interested in calculating their watts

    Great Calculator.

    Says you need to hit 1600 watts to get a 1m00.3 even for a stroke.

    It sounds easyish to say just do 500 watts for 2m58 seconds!:D

    Can I ask what's your SPM is and what damper setting do you normally use?

    Good luck, hope you do it. Maybe in a couple of years I'll be there. :D

    The SPM is the strokes per minutes. Good guess on the damper thingy! :D

    For us rowing noobs damper settings are just personal preferences, real open water rowers row on a setting of about 3/4 as that's the same feeling as open water rowing.
