Row 29 minutes as 5/4/3/2/1/2/3/4/5 minute chunks, speeding up then slowing down your pace as you RowAlong with me.

🚣Start at 20 strokes per minute and around 5/10 effort (2K+18 pace) 🚣‍♀️

Increase 2 strokes per minute, and 2 seconds pace as the chunks get shorter. Then decrease as they get longer again. 

❗  You'll want to go faster than 2K+18 when you start. Don't. Stick to the soft start, and increase by 2 seconds until you hit 28spm for the 1 minute. Then slow down rate and pace. 

Going too fast too soon will catch up on you - and you'll lose the point of this workout. 

Just follow along with me while I row, and I'll keep you right. ❗

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA97 -The Wringer) but if you 're not rowing on a Concept2 -  just set the main session as a single 29 minute row RowAlong with me. 🚥

ℹℹℹℹℹℹ - 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.  ℹℹℹℹℹℹ

                                      🔵🔵🔵 SHOWING SUPPORT FOR ROWALONG 🔵🔵🔵

I've been asked a few times about the best way to support what I'm doing. Honestly, the best way is just to watch and subscribe using this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGYc...)More views lead to more views - and I'm really just interested in getting more people on board to RowAlong with. (Make sure to click the notification bell to be alerted when I upload new workouts)

That said, I know that there are some people who want to show their support financially, and as much as I've shied away from giving out links to this before - I've been advised to at least provide the links - to stop someone spoofing me!! So....

Patreon: https://patreon.com/rowalongPayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_...

But seriously - just keep watching, that's all I ask!!

This workout is provided as usual WITHOUT MUSIC. If you want music,  why not load up another YouTube tab, or maybe Soundcloud and pick your own tunes. As always, follow me for stroke rate. And I'll keep you company for the row with training tips, technique tips, and my usual general waffle.
