Frequently asked questions

What 2K result should I use for rowing training zones?

Use a recent, well-paced 2K erg test that reflects your present fitness and was completed under comparable conditions.

Are rowing training zones exact?

No. They are practical starting ranges. Adjust pace for training history, recovery, stroke rate, and the purpose of the session.

How should I use UT2 and threshold targets?

Use easier zones for aerobic volume and reserve threshold or harder zones for planned quality sessions with adequate recovery.

What training zones does this calculator provide?

It returns pace ranges for UT2 (aerobic), UT1 (aerobic threshold), AT (anaerobic threshold), TR (transport), and AN (anaerobic) intensities based on standard rowing zone classifications.

What are the limitations of zone-based training?

Zones are general guidelines. Individual lactate thresholds, training history, and daily recovery levels can shift the appropriate pace range for a given session.
