How do I improve my 2000m row time?
Do the training first, then build confidence with specific 2k prep. The two sessions I did before every big 2k: 500m on, 2 minutes off, x 6 at your target pace, and 3 x 2k with each 500 a set number of seconds slower than your target split, finishing on target. They build the confidence to hold your splits on the day.

How do you train for a 2k erg test?
Do the training. Turn up every day, get on the water, get on the erg, put in the reps and trust the process. Then, in the weeks leading up, do specific 2k prep sessions at your target pace. Every one you knock off gives you a little more confidence.
