I just picked up a barely used Concept 2 Model E PM4 and finished my first workout. Its certainly isn't an impressive 5000m time but wondered how everyone else did their first time (if you can remember). This thing is brutal.

Not sure if you've been over to the concept2 website but they offer an online logbook to keep track of your meters, many challenges throughout the year to keep you motivated and a good forum as well.

BTW, I'm typing this from an Ipad and it's pretty cool. Checking it out at an apple store.

5000m 19. 21
10000m 40.03. i think this is the best kind of training i´ve ever done.
like Sean said it´s very kind for you´re knees.

Keeping in mind I'm a 43 year old recovering fatty todays exercise was 60 mins at a 2:15.7 pace to get 13275 meters in my hour.
I started using them last year when I joined my college crew team over the winter. Helped me quite a bit with figuring out different workouts and correct technique and all. I bought my own last spring.
Each persons different. I'm 24, about 6'1", and have long arms so it makes it a little easier for me.
My 500m sprint's around 1:27
5000m in the lower 19s
Even though the Concept 2 is basically torture device I find it fun, trying to beat best times and all. Hands down I'd say a C2 is the best non-riding workout there is.
heck both cant be a bad thing i dont guess.

Anyone try the MX handlebar attachment?
I did a lot of research before buying this and it appears to be hands down the best overall off the bike workout for MX/GNCC/WORCS. Nearly every trainer out there seems to incorporate it.
I got a great deal on mine. Found it on craigslist with the owner asking $1050 with 20hrs on it. I offered him $650 cash and we finally agreed on $750 and that included the cover, chest strap, and some lube for the glide plate. It's the Model E with the PM4 computer. The think literally looks brand new. This pkg with shipping would probably be about $1500 new so I was thrilled!
The 5th interval is not accurate. I stopped rowing and didn't realize I had 1m to go to meet my 500 and it added about 20secs to my time. I was so annoyed. It's getting better and I used my MX gloves today which helped!
