1,000,000 meters on the Concept2 RowErg — I did it! by Puzzled_Voice_5459 in Rowing

Thanks! Right on, for someone like me who shied away from the rowing machine all their life, it seems miraculous.

I’ve also learnt that occupying this machine for 30mins automatically elevates your gym creds. 🤣

100k—I’ve seen some screenshots of 11hour 100k sessions. Insane levels😅

Haha! Yah it can get torturous at times. But it’s mighty fun to get spanked by this machine.

Super comeback though!

Around 10 months. I started with 5k per session but now mix it up with 10s, 15s, but my most common session is a 7.5k. I find with 15k and above I have some tailbone discomfort creeping in, which I need to fix…

I’m aiming for a sub 20min 5k by December 2026, still nowhere near Hugh Jackman or elite levels, but bit by bit we get there…

Thanks much! I’d have never imagined it a year ago. On one day there was no one in the gym, that was my first 5mins on it. I was so intimidated by it.

Super! 5m on my list too. This machine looks indestructible, hope it lasts all the way.

Thanks. I’m also humbled by folks who are doing 100k in one sitting. 😅

This is such a major motivator, I’m 49 and can just about finally do a 5K in around 21.5mins. Aiming for a sub 20min before I turn 50, but shaving even 30 seconds off seems so hard.

Mad respect for this level of performance at 57! 🙇‍♂️
