    how ever long it takes to complete 300 meters, take 3 times that amount for the rest.

    right that's what I originally thought but then I got thinking that there was too much recovery time as I wanted it to be an intense session which lasts approx 15 mins.

    what would u guys think if I did 300m sprints with a 1 :1 ratio?

    it should take you under 60sec to row 300m.

    1:1 work to rest is really difficult.

    you are better off starting with higher rest and working up over weeks. you have to give yourself some place to progress too.

    I just wanted to say that I think rowing is awesome. A very underutilized method of getting the heart rate up, but highly effective.
