10km On The Erg For Weight Loss

by Dave





I’m back.  Did something tonight that I haven’t done in at least two months since I have been training for the Robie Creek half marathon.  Rowed for 10,000 meters on the ergometer – and did it in record time.

Total time 40:58.3, average 2:02.9 per 500 meters, 25 strokes per minute.  Here’s the breakdown for each 2,000 meters.

7:58.0  1:59.5  25
8:07.9  2:01.9  25
8:18.1  2:04.5  25
8:22.6  2:05.6  25
8:11.6  2:02.9  25

As you can tell, I started too fast and couldn’t keep the pace up.  Ideally, I would like to start off strong, have the middle 2km be the slowest and speed up from there. Still, a great workout for a Thurday evening.
