Recover from a Time Time Trial or race, or just boost your fitness with this 30 minute stroke rate alternating row.

🚣 30 mins - 18spm / 20spm every 5 minutes 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+20 (then 2K+18) (see below for 2K info)➔Effort = 5-6/10➔Speech = Comfortable

❗  Maybe you did the 2000m time trial the day before, and need a recovery row. Or maybe you're just on the lookout for a Fitness boosting workout that's a bit more interesting than the standard 20spm for 30 minutes. Well, this session if for you. Both times.❗

Just lock into the rate and pace, and after my usual chat about technique, let me keep you distracted (and hopefully interested) with the final part of the my rowing history. After all, one you're locked into rate and pace here, it's all about holding it - and trying to plough through the minutes. Hopefully my story will help with that.

Alternatively, the YouTube video link for this row is: https://youtu.be/x7DW8JbQNxs

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.

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
