BIOROWER Rowing: 15000m in 1 hour, slow stroke rate - 20251122

The objective for today was a pace faster than 2:00. It worked. The stroke rate of 21 is more on the low side, which means I compensated the low stroke with more force to keep the pace.

Distance, Time, Pace: 15000m in 59:45.7, a pace of 1:59

My objective is the physical exercise itself, not a performance peak on a specific date for a competition. No season build-up, but mile-crunching or, because I am in the metric system, kilometer-eating. The most common routine is 15000m, sometimes 30000m and from time to time 42195m, the Marathon distance. Pace varies. Session objectives can be just to row along, high intensity, low stroke rate or low heart rate. My technique is a testimony that I never did rowing on the water and never had proper training. In the first years of ergometer rowing, I had the arrogance to think my technique can't be too bad, because when I ranked my workouts, I did fairly well for a non-rower (see the links below). It was late until I realized how bad my technique is and I improved it. But I am still far from good. Somehow, the BIOROWER gently guides me towards increasing my technique.
