Re: C2 VO2 max calculations
Quite to the contrary, I came into this community because it lacked that very tunnel vision on metrics like VO2max which are not the final product of training. Performance is the final product. The...

Re: C2 VO2 max calculations
Mr. Kulas, it is my learned opinion as a former rower that form and general strength matter more in rowing than VO2max. Furthermore, your VO2max differs based on activity, and is not universal - your...

Re: C2 VO2 max calculations
It's an estimate anyway - they shouldn't be giving numbers down to the first decimal point - that implies much greater accuracy than is realistic to predict. Just estimate your 2k time honestly and...

Re: When, if ever, does it get easier?
Scale back the volume. If the WOD says 3-3-3-3-3-3-3, do 3-3-3-3. If it says 3 rounds of 50 reps of this and that, do 3 rounds of 25 of this and that. As many rounds as possible (AMRAP) in 20...

Re: rowing....dropping from !:45 to 1:30 per 500
Ignore the damper - use the drag factor. Look it up in your manual or go on C2's website. It should be 130 or so for the "average CF male" at 175 lbs. for a piece of that length. Play with it - some...
