3 x 12mins at 18spm - BOTTOM TIER WORKOUT

Pace Guide = 2K+20-22 Effort Guide = 5 / 10Speech = Mostly comfortable

❗ This is session 1 of Test Week. Session 5 this week is a 2K test, so it's important you don't sap your energy before that. But at the same time, you need your body to stay tip top for speed and fitness. So this session is an 'Activation' session which greases the gears so to speak, keeping you topped up but not depleting your energy ❗

So with that in mind, if you're rowing this as part of Week 4's test week - do not push this session. You need to make sure you have all the energy in your body for the 2K test in Session 5 (or wherever it occurs for you depending on how many training days you have)

🚥If you want to programme your monitor as a 3 x 12 minute interval workout - remember to set the rest to UNDEFINED. This way, we'll both start and stop at the same time. There is a video on how to do this here: 🚥 https://youtu.be/2vGTy9mtaLA

Follow the sound of my stroke and keep an eye on your monitor for the stroke rate. And I'll keep you company along the way with various ramblings. If you don't know your 2K pace - row a 2000m time trial and look at the average /500m on the screen at the end. That is your 2K pace. So if it says 2:05 as your average - your 18spm rate above will be 2:25 pace. www.RowAlong.com is the website behind all of this - all these podcasts originate as Videos on my RowAlong YouTube channel if you want to see me as well as hear me.
