What's a decent time for 5,000m on the indoor concept 2 rower ? The best I've done is 20m 19secs but only really have a go once a month or so after some weights and a go on the bike down the gym.
For anyone who trains regularly on the rower, any ideas on the quickest way to improve ?
I'm thinking of using it more regularly as my dodgy knee is preventing me from running at the moment. cheers

should be able to look this up on the concept 2 website as you can compete online with the top of the line machines

We own a concept 2, and I usually aim for 1000m per 5 mins - when doing a 1 hour session. Basically you improve by getting on it - simple!

Since i started regularly my times have dropped significantly and i have only been training for the last 2 months so...
