I do this quite a lot. Usually I just do 20 minutes and try to keep going 2000m per 10 minutes. But it's part of my longer routine wich has some other exercises of this kind (cycling, cycling with hands workout or this thing on which you walk veryfast - sorry I don't know names of those in English) so I cannot end up on the floor out of breath 
I do 45-50 minutes of this kind of stuff before normal workout with weights and machines.

I change order and kind of those because I would get bored to death. Also I had to cut on rowing machine as my spine is not up to the job :-( Spine limits me very much in exercises :-(
I think I'll try how much distance I can cover moximum over 5 minutes. Maybe sometime after my normal training

Mind you I'll be after 45-50 minutes of cardio trening and 3 muscles groups on free weights. I'll try hard though

how long will it take for you to smash my time? Spoke to Lee about my time and he recons i am at a big disadvantage with this rowing thing due to my size and weight ... which means you should find it easier!!!!!

eat that! Off to the Gym soon, will try for 1100.
I guess with my five min warmup sessions, i need to get a distance of 1000m in 3.6mins approx. No problem...
Fook.

but even when you get to the 1370m in 5 mins you still have to carry on for the balance of the 2000m to equal my effort i might try a balls out 5 min row and see what i get.
