Waiting for some feedback from the on-water rowers and experienced trainers over on the Concept 2 forum, but I ran across this rowing-specific watt levels table from former team GB rowing coach Terry O’Neill. The percentages are the upper limits for each training band.
For what it’s worth, these wattage bands reduce the intensity for UT2 and UT1 a fair bit – on the 2k training zone pace charts that are out there, my UT2 at peak shape last winter would have been 1:58/500. whereas this table would have me at 2:03/500. I’ll take s bit slower as it might help keep me from getting injured again.
