So... 6 decades off the water, my 'hot' split is a 2.15 / 500, and my best 2K (so far). I would kill for a 10 min 2K. Suggestions?

If the legs are already so strong that the athletes are struggling to be able to hold that level of force through the hips and back then surely it would make sense to train the weak link rather than continue to push the strong link even stronger?

Your final pull-up to the chest looks relaxed. I find that I feel a bicep strain after a while; I must be making that third movement too soon.

The swing is important, but one thing you do, but dont explicitly explain, is connect you arms to your legs. That particular drill e is excellent, but runs the risk of conveying the idea that the arms finish the stroke alone, which is proven to result in significant speed falloff at the finish.

Hands and elbows at the back end need work. Flat wrists and elbows at handle height transfer power better into the finish.

I see a lot of people who focus on machine rowing using this style. Personally, I don't like it, but it is so common amongst high performing athletes I assume there is a reason for it.
@captainwinters905716 күн бұрын
@@markricketts6957 In my experience, it is simple lack of knowledge or poor coaching. There is a lot to be said for "effort = results" on the rowing machine, and strong people are just that, able to produce strong results on the erg. Regardless, they would be able to produce better results with less effort with proper technique. Do they row like that in the boat? I hope not, especially when sculling. Yikes.

@captainwinters9057 I choose to look at erging and rowing OTW as 2 different sports with some overlap. Most rowers erg, but most ergers don't row. There most be a reason that erg World Records are set using techniques that would see you Captain Nemo in a single.

@@markricketts6957 As a high performance coach I would be very frustrated if my athletes trained like that on the Ergometer. Those habits, due to the high training volume we perform on the C2 in the winter, have a nasty habit of creeping into their otw performance. As all cyclical sports do, it then takes significant time and effort on both my part and that of the athlete to iron out those wrinkles.

No idea how I found this channel but this such good advice. I’m struggling to break 7mins for 2k. I can hop on cold and do 7.20mins but cutting those 5sec per 500m is so much harder than you think. Any and all advice welcome.

This is a great help. Never thought about it like this. Can u do one now at say 2k pace so I can see what it looks like in reality. My problem is I go all out too quickly, then start dying. I simply can’t find a pace that allows me to go at a decent rate, yet still go for long. I need help to find the equivalent of running a 6 minute mile for 5 miles.

I’m 5’9” with a 30” inseam, I need every every bit of pull length I can find. I watch taller rowers able to reach the catch further forward and use more of the slide rail with longer legs. I’ll bet some taller rowers get a full foot longer drive stroke than me. My shorter stature really makes me work hard for substandard split times. I’m tempted to cheat by rolling forward as far as possible and using my toes to start the drive, less power but more length?

Am curious about the rationale for why you suggest starting out hot at all. Why not just aim for around the split you're targeting and then hold? Appreciate the tips here :)
@atthethousandАй бұрын
Great question! When thinking about "scoring a 2k" or any test, the first few strokes are valuable. If it takes us 5-10 strokes to find our target split with a passive start, that's 50-100 meters used up above our "goal pace". Those seconds matter. So instead, "start hot", and by hot I mean just the first few strokes, then settle when the split is below your goal pace. Hope that makes sense. More applicable to "scored" tests for time. Thanks for watching!
