Row for 60 minutes, changing stroke rate and pace every 5 minutes.

🚣A MID INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

Although the pace and rate is mostly in the LOW intensity range, due to the duration of this row, the total workout lies in the MIDDLE of the pyramid.

Change stroke rate though 18/20/22/24/18/20/22/24/18/20/22/24

➔Pace Guide:

18spm at 2K+20-24

20spm 2 seconds faster than 18spm

22spm 2-3 seconds faster than 20spm

24spm 2-3 seconds faster than 22spm

➔Effort = 5-8/10 (It will drift up through the hour)

➔Speech = Should be ok. Maybe a little tough in the 24's

❗ You'll see from the pace guide that there's a large starting range. Depending on how your energy levels are sitting, that's where you start. Tired? Start at +24 - Lots of energy? Start at 2K+20. Each time you go back to 18spm, assess how you feel and adjust that starting pace if neccessary. ❗

Sprint for 45 seconds - 11 times, with 1 minute rest between each row

🚣A TOP/MAX INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

Due to the intensity of this row, the warm up is 10 minutes long.

➔Pace Guide: Faster than Row 7. Aim for between 2K-5 and 2K-8

➔Effort = 10/10

➔Speech = Don't try - just breathe!

❗ Control is still the key here. I do this at around 34 strokes per minute, so a really high stroke rate, but not so high that I've lost control. And then it's all about pushing as hard as you can with your legs to get the pace up.❗

45 seconds should mean you can get the pace high right to the end, especially with the 60 second rest between each interval.

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.

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.

Row 3 x 9 minute intervals with 3 minute rests

🚣A MID/HARD INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide: 20 strokes per minute at 2K+10-12 (see below for 2K pace info)

➔Effort = 7-8/10

➔Speech = Getting tough

❗ Remember, MID intensity isn't easy - this is about putting you into a place of discomfort and then needing to push through it - this is a HARD (but not maximum) row. ❗

All of the 20spm rowing we've been doing through this series has been leading up to this - pushing the pace faster than usual for 20spm. Hopefully you've got the technique and groove right for pushing in the power. Remember - keep that forward tilt, and arms straight as you drive out with the legs. Only when you're half way through the leg drive should you swing over your hips and then pull in your arms.

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.

Row for 32 minutes, but change stroke rate every four minutes.

🚣A BOTTOM INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

Changes are: 18/20/22/20/18/20/22/20

➔Pace Guide: 18spm = 2K+20, 20spm = +18, 22spm = +15 (see below for 2K pace info)

➔Effort = 5-6/10

➔Speech = Comfortable

❗ This is a very simple row. By changing stroke rate every 4 minutes when rowing, it keeps this workout interesting, and gives you a chance to feel the control of your stroke by increasing and decreasing your power. Not only will it help technique, but this easy row will really improve your fitness.❗

Row fast and strong right from the start. Sprint 1 minute intervals 7 times with 75 seconds rest.

🚣A TOP INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide: Start at 1K pace (around 2K-5) but go faster if you can!

➔Effort = 10/10

➔Speech = Don't even try

❗ There are only 7 intervals here, so you NEED TO GO FAST. Start at 1K pace (around 2K-5) and if you think it's too easy, speed up. If you don't end up in a similar state to me by the end, you've not put in 10/10 effort.❗

A simple 30 minute row holding stroke rate and pace throughout. But can you keep all the splits the same in this RowAlong?

🚣A BOTTOM INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide: 2K+18 at 20 Strokes Per Minute (see below for 2K pace info)

➔Effort = 5-6/10

➔Speech = Comfortable

❗ If your monitor lets you set splits (chunks of time) for this row, set them to 5 minutes. Your aim is to try to get all splis identical for this row. I failed. No two of mine were the same! (See the Community tab if you want to see the actual results).❗

This is just about consistency. And the slower pace / lower stroke rate allows you the chance to work on technique and aim for that consistency.
