Strategy

One pace to rule them all

Figure out what your overall goal is, calculate your 500 meter split time, and use this to complete your 2000 meter rowing benchmark.

A. Figure out your 2000 meter rowing goal

First time doing this?
Use Can you beat your peers? below to figure out a reasonable time based on your peers’ data.
Not a first timer?
Drop a couple seconds off of your previous PR.

B. Figure out your target 500m split time

Take your goal from above, and divide it by 4

C. Split Time Per Quarter

First quarter (0 to 500 meters)
Get to your average split + 1 second (⏱
2 mins 1 sec
⁠
)
No racing start sequence - Focus on strong leg drive + controlled back.
Second quarter (500 to 1000m)
Maintain your average split (⏱
2 mins
⁠
)
Add a little more pressure through the balls of the feet.
Third quarter (1000 to 1500m)
Hold your average split (⏱
2 mins
⁠
)
This is the hardest quarter - This is where we fight! Channel your inner superhero!
Fourth Quarter (1500 to 1750m)
Push & drop your average split by 1 second (⏱
1 min 59 secs
⁠
)
Add a little more pressure and slightly increase the stroke rate.
Last 250m
If you can, go all-out - This is where we drop the hammer 🔨🔥
