Predict your 2k with only 20 strokes

We at ErgZone have been running a 1min@20SPM challenge on local regattas and events for over a year now and we learned something with the data.

If you do this challenge the right way, with a stroke every 3 seconds, then the final average pace is very similar to your 2k pace.

Of course this challenge doesn't work for everyone, since it's all about power and not endurance, but we’ve seen that the majority of the numbers are between 95% and 105% of the 2k. Very cool, right?

So if you don’t know your 2k or if it’s a little outdated, give the challenge a try and you’ll be very surprised how much power you have.

Also post in the comments what’s your 2k time/pace and your score for the challenge and we can calculate the percentage for you.
