    Just thought i'd bump this for a progress report,

    slowly managed to get to under 8.10mins for a 2 k dash, https://www.instagram.com/p/BMuGzKAhKpf/
    really happy with it as I did it in a straight sprint, current aim now is to shave a second off per week.

    so heres hoping!

    Good job, I've been avoiding a 1km timed session. Guess I'll do it this week

    The drag factor as a standard is set to 130-140 which resembles rowing in water closest. I would keep the drag around this for anything distance 1km or above.Any lower and you will struggle to get the spilt down. As you go under 1km you can increase the drag factor which should help get you faster times. As people have pointed out heavier you are the easier it is at higher drags. A 100kg person will find 180 easier for a 500m than a 70kg person. Find what suits you for the shorter distances but I would suggest staying around 130-140 for distance 1km plus.
