In January 2024 I tried the rowing machine, also known as the ergometer. Basically rowing indoors without ever moving a bit. Because it’s a very good body workout and less prone to injury. And the sauna afterwards is a great reward.
So this got a little out of control, in a good way. In total I rowed 1000 km (or 1 million meters).
In April I started doing longer distances at a slower pace. End of September the goal to reach 1 million meters in a year materialized.
So that was tough but it was reached! Including a marathon December 14th and 100km in a week.
Here you see the split times. The small dots represent the short rows. Of course the average split times are faster compared to a longer training where you go slower.
You can see that at the end of the year I was steadily going slower. Of course I was also rowing longer, but maybe got a bit fatigued.
Anyway, it was fun!
