Thanks for crosstraining suggestion, I am adding that to the video on injuries!

Hi! Could you maybe make any suggestions for HIT work? :) I mostly do 3x2k, but I would like to do have more variation. Thanks a lot!

would it be a good idea to get a v02 max / lactate test done to work out my exact zones please?

This is probably only my problem but you lost me with the watts percentage calculation. Unfortunately we don't get much explanation in the club about how to use the ergo so I am clueless about watts and what to do with them... (I was just told to try to stay beneath 2:20 or row at a certain stroke rate for a certain amount of minutes) So probably a very stupid question but how do I know what are the watts for 2k or 5K?

What is your personal best for 2k?

Hi Jack, Unfortunately I never did a 2k on an ergo. I have started rowing less than 2 years ago. The first year I just did three group lessons a week which weren’t very structured (all on the river). People told me that the only way to get better was to row, row and row so that’s what I did. I usually do 20/25 rowing sessions a month (8-10 km each) and 2 hours of private lessons a week to have my technique corrected. The coach follows me on the river and corrects my rowing. Very useful but apart from these two hours no real structured training or coaching. I never used the gym because I didn’t know it was useful 🙈. Two months ago I asked the coach a training program to make and measure progress. He gave me some schedules (like doing 7 min sessions on the bike and ergo with 3 min breaks, or doing 5 series of 7-min sessions with 3 min breaks on the ergo (4 min 22 - 2 min 24 - 1 min 26). My only measure was to see if I could go under 2:20. So that’s why I can’t answer your question about my best 2k time. Nobody ever told me that that was something you should do. Or how to do it. I would love to work on my rowing in a structured way that makes it possible to measure progress. Is this something that can be done from a distance with totally unexperienced people like me you think? 😆

A question - so what happens if there is a mismatch between U2 watts and heartrate? Say the lowend of the % watts scale but you have trouble staying in the HR zone bc you’re a noob who isn’t aerobically efficient yet? Say after 20 mins and its a hot environment in the gym? Stay at watts or stay on HR even if the speed goes way down? If stay on watts is there an upper limit for how high you let your HR drift? Thanks and keep up the great work!

Good question, maybe a topic for another video. There is so much stuff to talk about. Generally, RPE is one of the best fall backs for when splits and or HR is behaving weirdly. You have to be very careful with that however as it you can then let that be the norm. Thanks for commenting and giving me some ideas on video content.

why use % of MHR instead of HRR
