Do a 30 minute row - but every 3 minutes, take 5 Power Strokes.🚣A BOTTOM INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide: Most of the row: 18spm at 2K+20 pace (see below for 2K pace info)  ➔Effort = 5-6/10➔Speech = Comfortable

❗ Hold 18 Strokes Per minute the whole way through this row - and stick to the low intensity 2K+20 pace. But every 3 miinutes, take 5 power storkes - push as hard as you can with your legs, and see if you can get the pace a lot faster. If your legs are feeling it after Row 9 - that's ok, just get a couple of seconds faster. But if you're quite fresh - push hard, and see if you can get 10 seconds faster pace through these power strokes. ❗

At the end of the row, while I say goodbye, I've put up the basic stretches that I do when I've finished rowing.

🚥You can use Ergzone to program your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for 12 Rows - Day 10 under the RowAlong track which has the main session pre-programmed. I've not proIf you would like to RowAlong to the video version of this, please go to: https://youtu.be/3A9j-gCzpuY

As always, follow me for stroke rate. Anad I'll keep you company for the row with training tips, technique tips, and my usual general waffle.

ℹ - 2K training paces are based on your current best performance to row 2000m. Set your monitor to 2000m and row it as fast as you can. When you're finished either look at the memory screen for that row, and note the Average /500m pace - or just divide your time by 4 to find that out. 

For instance - if you rowed your 2000m in 8:20​ - the average pace for 500m is 2:05​. It doesn't matter if you started at 1:50​ and then slowed down to 2:20​ by the end - your average across the whole row is 2:05​. 

So when I give a pace guide saying "2K + 18 seconds" - that means that you take your 2K time, and add 18 seconds to it (in the above example, 2:05​ + 18 = 2:23​ pace.) Just be sure to set your monitor so it displays your /500m pace so you can stay on target.

Every time you think you're getting faster, rather than just arbitrarily changing the pace guide - do another 2000m test to find your current 2K average time - and then work from that.  ℹ
