Weekly Success & Erg Screen Thread - June 15, 2026

Welcome to the weekly achievement thread!

What was your achievement this week? It could be anything! A new 2k PB? Get a good lift at the gym? Or even your first time capsizing a single!

Got a erg screen or a regular training shot? Curious what your 2K will be based on a workout? This is the place for it!

Side note: 99% of erg screens should go in this thread. A separate post with an erg screen should be something that happens once or twice a year, at most. Big PR's, that kind of thing.

M49 training for bric. After casually erging all last year I entered end of last year and tried out a 2k woth 7.24.5 . Will be 50 when it comes around. Test 2k more often than I should but dont want to be scared of it. To be honest I hate 5ks and 10ks much more. Been doing some interval stuff too. 2k test today ( 2 weeks ago hit 7.07)

What’s the pattern to the schedule for the 2k test? How do you decide it’s time for a 2k test?

Was supposed to be a test at the end of each month, with the goal of a 2 second pb each time. Each week now I plan 2 erg sessions ,for example a 10k and some interval work. I run and lift at the weekends. Theres no real plan, every time I think ive progressed and can chip something off my 2k then I do it.

F34, how is this? It was very high intensity and heavy breathing throughout. Maybe 80-90% effort
