Your 1000m row time!

Chet Zar

Given that a lot of people likely hit the rower as part of their training, curious to know what your times for a 1000m row are? Want to gauge how I am doing I love rowing as it's one of those workouts you can really get stuck into and can't slack off on really - such a great exercise that works the whole body.

I did just over 4:30 (something like 4:34) in the gym earlier. Know I can do way better than that as I wasn't pushing myself until the end of the row when I wanted to get under 4:30. I think I did it in 1:50 before although I suspect that may have been 2:50! Not sure though but I know I was really pushing myself that time. I think 1000m is a great distance too as you can really push it.

I think if you did it in 1:50 you'd be winning olympic medals. You sure you didn't do it in 3:50. 2:50 is also very very fast.

Yeah the first time I rowed after the quick time I was looking at the display going there is no WAY you did it in 1:50! It was definitely something :50 though. I'd love to say 2:50 but much more likely 3:50 now that you mention it.

Think the last time I did it was around 3.40-3.45 and had a rake of other stuff to do once I got off the bloody rower!

I haven't done a 1000m. I've done a 5000m in a little under 22 minutes and then moved onto 10000m and, today, set my record so far of 44 mins, 26 seconds.

My aim is to eventually do the 10000m in 40 minutes. I've used the rower for a few weeks and the treadmill/bike before that.

I puked halfway through a 2k once.

So i can do 1000m in a sick time.

I can definitely do sub-4. Think I've done < 3min 30sec.

You should. I'm gonna be gunning for sub 4 over the next week.

Thats the one dude. Failtastic especially with stupid double unders at the end. Similarly awful is Jackie (1000 Meter Row, 50 Thrusters, and 30 Pull Ups).

Less than 2 minutes

Whoops. I meant between 3 and 4 minutes!

Fastest was just under 4mins, or around there. Used to row competitively.

Molly

I've done 3:50. Don't think i've done an all out 1km row though

I can safely say that you the above was 3.50

1:50.0 would be impossible
2:50.3 is third on the list official records

so the options are a bit silly, 30s groups would be better, over say 3mins - 4:30+

LoL, was think somebody is lying or misclicked.



I've never done a 1000m for time.
My 500m time is 1:36 (3:12/1k)
I've done 3000m in under 12min (4:00/1k)

So 1000m is 3:35min or so I'd say

I scaled the double-unders when I did it. :D

< 2mins

I've done a 3:07. Few years back now though.

Sometimes the newer Concept II rowing machines(Model D) can be fitted with one of the older monitors(from models B or C) and if it hasnt been configured for the new machine it can give ridiculous readings, so that could explain a 1:50 reading...but I'd lean towards the OP's bad memory explanation myself.

3:31 or therebouts.

Chet Zar

Yeah looking over the poll results, increments of 30 seconds would better. I reckon sub-4 in any case is an indicator of a decent level of fitness, especially anaerobic fitness.

i always do 1500m, my best time is 5:27 that was 10 years ago in college, did not do it again for a while, getting back into it and got it down to 5:54 the other day, i wonder can i break 5:27 or at the grand age of 30 am i over the hill

Nobody will ever do sub 2mins. I would hazard a guess that if Rob Waddell in his prime did a 1k he would see a time close to 2m40 or so.

The debate would be if the 500m world record holder could last another 500m?

Personally I see no one going sub 2m30.

I never did a 1k but when rowing I would of being good for just under 3m as in 2m56 or so and now somewhere between 3m20-3m40.

With a bit of work on the erg 3m10.

Must get back to the erg!:D

Chet Zar

Cool, I'm gonna be hitting the rower either tomorrow or early next week so will post my time and everyone else keep posting theirs - this could be a good thread for keeping track!

Ive only done 2k for 6:40, afterwards i have to lie down in the aerobics room on the mats for a bit, absolute torture.

The Guvnor

Between 2 and 3 minutes

Just to point out the bleedin obvious - a 1000m is a long when when pushing hard - a very long way!:D

Might try this one of the days if brave enough!

DM_7

I don't use the rower often, normally do 2000m when I do, depending on the mood it takes anywhere between 8.15 and 8.40, nothing special. But I now the first 1000 is usually done under 4 mins.

I will try the 1000m as a stand alone and see how I go.

faceman

Between 3 and 4 minutes

I usually do rowing at the end of my cardio (running) session as it's a nice way to finish yourself off. I'd do 1000m in between 4 mins and 4:20. Must do it at the start of a workout to see how I do.

Indeed. Very impressive. Well inside the top 10% in the world if it was on a concept 2.

edit: Nobody should infer that I'm suggesting the guy didn't get it! It's definitely achievable.

I told my friend my time, hes a rower, and he said it was good for a rugby player but nothing special!

I had a look at the world records, 14th on the list is 6:42.5


Maybe i'm missing something.
