WELCOME to New Members

Do you want to give it a go Ian? On the 24hr I found 20min was much harder than 15, but would be going slower and do longer sessions now so 30 might work.

Watching this....from a healthy distance...

That kind of long-haul effort on a RowErg would be an incredibly formidable challenge. I have done mega-endurance efforts on a bike (e.g. > 24 hours solid), but at least on a bike you get some alternation of effort, and a chance to rest going downhill. Though on second thoughts, the fairer comparison would be against an indoor bike/BikeErg, and e.g. doing a 2 million meter (given the 2x multiplier of BikeErg > RowErg) does not seem much, if any, less tortuous. 2 million metres BikeErg, or 1 million metres RowErg, I guess it just depends which part(s) of your body you wish to torture

1 million metres on a SkiErg might probably be the worst/most painful of the lot...

I would like to extend a very warm Free Spirits welcome to Chris Williams, we "met" online through our health issues and Chris has made a fantastic recovery
Great to have him join us

Hello Team. I'm Tony Moore and I live in Southern California. Bought my C2 back in 2022 and went a good while not using it after the initial rush. Just got back on it this year and trying build up my fitness again, so I'm doing lots of UT2 and trying to just increase the meters logged. I want to hit 1 million before season end. I'll worry about pushing speed later.

Tony, welcome to FS. Sounds like a good plan. The key is to start a plan that you enjoy so that you can keep it going. Most of us in FS are not at the top of the sport and are trying to get/stay fit rather than set the IRC world alight. Look forward to hearing how your training progresses.
