The performance goal of anyone using the Concept2 rowing machine should be simple: get faster or more efficient in the least time with the least effort. Not more volume, not more workouts, not something you saw someone else doing: more speed or more efficiency.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Based on our work with thousands of athletes across more than a dozen countries, this is one of the fundamental tenets of the \u201cSpeed Directive\u201d\u2026a return to basics that drives uncommon results from uncommon training: dropping significant time from any distance row, in 2 months or less.<\/span><\/p>\n In this article, we talk split.<\/span><\/p>\n Split is represented on the Concept2 monitor as \u201c\/500m\u201d or \u201cave \/500m.\u201d The former being real time, the latter being average.<\/span><\/p>\n What split means though is how long it would take you to move 500m. In this sense, split is actually showing us speed<\/strong>. As in, if you started rowing right now how long would it take before you crossed a 500m finish line?<\/span><\/p>\n So no matter the distance or time you\u2019re rowing, split will be telling you how fast you go. For example, if you\u2019re rowing 5000m and your split is 2:00. Then it\u2019s telling you that every 500m is taking you 2 minutes. So again, split = speed.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is Split?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Why Does Your Split Matter?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
