Cameron Buchan 5:54 2km ERG TEST - Real Time Tips

Watch me do a 5:54.7 2k rowing machine test while viewing my heart rate data, my splits and hearing thoughts that were going through my head during the 2k itself. Enjoy!

Today was another opportunity to test out some 2k strategies. Narrowing in now and good to see what changes can still be made! Great to get another 2k row on the rowing machine under the belt. Sometimes the 2k can be a mental barrier and can build up extra tension just through mentioning the workout! Doing them multiple times, if recovery is good enough, can help get over this!

If you have any other questions let me know!

Why does this stress me out like it's my turn next😂

[ingrad]

~the best prep for a 2k is to do a 2k~
That's it

Seeing everyone replying on your heart rate while I am thinking: "how tall are you?" your stroke length is regularly up the 1.50 with hardly moving your legs. That's a lot of meters on 200 strokes if I compare it to my 1.30 ish stroke length. What settings is the concept on?

[quiznoes]

when his heart-rate during a 2k is yours during steady state...

One of the more disgusting things I've seen in a while, going SUB 6 on a 2k just to test out strategies, fiddling with the monitor multiple times, not even falling off the erg at the end. Going to see what this machine can do with a proper taper. Best of luck Cam!

Given the amount of fiddling around you did with the monitor, your earpiece etc., I reckon there must be more to come!

[corrie]

Pff, I can hold that split too (for 250m)

[xiangshantan]

His HR never hit 200... actually it’s barely even 190 while my 2ks hover at 190+ with 1k left wtf

[speedendurance]

I've rowed on ERGs for a decade, 6:40PR, but never seen a sub 6 in my life.. until today. Thanks for sharing

[johnjohnston]

Just did a 2k last week and did 7:03, down from 7.49 at the start of the season. I'm 16 so hopefully I can go sub 7 next year! Your videos are a big motivation.

This was surprisingly insightful. I'm going to do some stroke counting from now on and set some distance milestones as well to help with the mental game.

This is by far the best 2K TT video out there, the addition of the erg data and heart rate and the running commentary is just what we need to see for comparisons. Thanks Cameron. I race in the 50+ age group, I'm giving Paris a miss, but hoping to go to the next Worlds.

Very happy to finally find a sub 6 minute video with commentary, screen capture and in a perfect quality. Awesome job. I can't comprehend how you can be below 150 bpm almost midway through, that's just unreal. Amazing result, if you took it to 190-200 bpm, you'd shave another 10 seconds off if this for sure.

im a junior in high school with a 2k pr of 6:53, its pretty recent too, and i collapsed afterwards. and u pulled a sub 6 and just WALKED AWAY. i could never 😂😂😂

[marcoscalderon]

this man just gets up and walks away after a 2k. i sit there and die for 5 mins before thinking of getting up

[mylittlepony]

i find it funny that he was listening to a disney soundtrack while ripping a 1:30 split

[vietdang]

Excellent video! Inspired by your efforts, I did a 2k and set a new PB of 7:27 (previously 7:38).

Damn Cam has thighs bigger than my waist

Machine! In screen erg data + HR Speedo (cool) + commentary / tips + the whole piece end to end + awesome picture quality + fiddlin' with monitor & headhones - vomiting = ♠️ A single vlog with your pal Adam Neill in it has over 576k views on a channel with only 211 subscribers, with the title "Adam Neill 2Km ERG 5:48" maybe a similar title tweak, for you, could boost views and subs, for what is a far superior vlog? 🤞
