5 minutes for me on the rower is forever. I did it recently for 5min at average 170 watts. I know that that isn't too great, based on the fact of my poor fitness and inexperience on the rower. So I look up what olympic type rowers can do. they average just under 500watts for a 2000 meter course.
Wow. Looks like I have a ways to go before making the olympic team.

You will always struggle with endurance due to your fast twitch composition, but you can improve. The response time will simply not be as quick as a natural endurance athlete.
