    Good work mate. I have a distinct advantage with long levers.

      Yeah I'm not fit enough to do Mogwai's solution for short buggers (32 strokes per min). I have to keep it around 25-26 at the moment.

        You can do it with 25-26 - that's all I usually manage (although recently ridden with flu and a sinus infection so nothing fitness-wise for 3 weeks) - I am only 5' 10" at best. Tried 32 but just lost all form.<br />
        I managed 19.25 or so last year when rowing more, so it can be done.

          Yeah, I find that rate more comfortable. Had a weird last few rows, last one felt like I had a stich for about two kms of it, but all across my stomach and had to stop twice to make it go away. And for both of them my legs have felt dead tired after about 2kms.<br />
          <br />
          My household is full of sick kids and a sick wife at the moment, so am hoping I've just got a mild version of that.<br />
          <br />
          Be interesting to see if it's still like that today. Been back trying to get fit since mid July, so it's annoying to be going backwards like this.

              Hadn't done one for ages, but have been doing other stuff for fitness and strength. Gave it a crack yesterday - 19.28 so only 3 s off my best. Ugly scenes followed on the floor next to the machine - 42 year old hyperventilating on the floor tends to alarm the gym staff apparently!

                Did my first row in bout 2 years and managed a 19:57. Was f**ked at the end. Rowing is a lot harder than cycling xzxflag_of_truce

                    love it, and am jealous of you guys rowing at the moment. My father has taken over mine as I do the bodybuilding thing. He racks out between 5-10k a day. Not bad, considering he was born in 1939...!!

                        Have returned to the rower for some variety. Was doing 5k in intervals - 500m, 1min rest, and so on, average about 1.52-4 for each.<br />
                        So I thought "How hard can a straight 5k be?"<br />
                        19.32 - happily surprised. Forgot how much the bastard hurts.

                          Knocked out the 5km last night in 18 mins 38 secs. Small improvement from my time 6 weeks ago of 19 mins 8 secs. Want sub 18 1/2 now
