RowAlong – Indoor Rowing Machine Workouts

Row for 30 minutes - every 3 minutes, take 4 POWERFUL rowing strokes.🚣A BOTTOM INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide: Main pace = 20 strokes per minute / 2K+18 pace   ➔Effort = 5-6/10 (more for the power strokes)➔Speech = Comfortable

❗ A very simple low intensity row - but borken up every three minutes with these power strokes. How hard you want to push this, is entirely up to you. After Day 3's Tabata row, I was certainly feeling it in my legs, and was really only pushing the pace of the row by about 5 seconds when doing the power strokes. ❗

🚥You can use Ergzone to program your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for 12 Rows - Day 4 under the RowAlong track which has the main session pre-programmed. I've not programmed in the Warmup and Cooldown however, so you'll need to add them in yourself (I have some on the track, with the label "Bookmark These" so you can just bookmark them for future use)  🚥

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

Row 20 seconds MAX EFFORT then 10 seconds rest 8 times. Rest 3 minutes and do this all again 2 more times.🚣A MAX INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide: MAX Effort - High rate, High Pace➔Effort = 10/10➔Speech = Don't even try

❗ This is the first of the MAX effort rows in the 12 Rows of Christmas Rowing Workout series. And you need to go full speed from the start. Try to be controlled, so still proper technique and strokes - but put everything you can into this. I row this at around 38spm and 2K-10 pace. ❗

The reason it says HISS or HIIT workout in the title is that really, because you can't recover before the next effort, this is more of a High intensity steady state (that steady state being maximum effort). A true HIIT session will give you more recovery before the next effort.

❗ After a tough start to the 12 days, use this row to regenerate your energy levels and spend some time thinking about your technique. It may not be a row that people will write books about, but it's the one that will give you the fitness and technique to be able to row fast when the time comes. ❗

Row 5 x 8 minutes with 2:30 rests. Broken into a 5 minute section and a 3 minute chunk. 🚣A MID INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace GuideRow 5 mins at 20 strokes per minute and 2K+18 pace  Row 3 mins at 24 strokes per minute and 2K+5 pace  (See below for 2K Pace info) 

➔Effort = Starts at 6/10 - then 8-9/10➔Speech = Comfortable - then tough

❗ Burn some calories over the Holiday Season by rowing along with me in this 12 Rows of Christmas series. You don't have to do 12 days in a row - just fit them in when you can. ❗

The first 5 minutes is a good start for you to settle into the rhythm and get your technique locked in - then 3 minutes you push a LOT harder with the legs to get the rate and pace up. The intensity of that 3 minutes will get tougher for each interval. In the final interval, if you want to REALLY push and row as hard as you can (keep to the 24 stroke rate though) - then please do!

Improve your rowing power and speed by pushing the pace faster for the stroke rate during 5 x 3:30 Intervals. 🚣MID to TOP Intensity on the Rowing Intensity Pyramid 🚣‍♀️

5 x 3:30 with 2 min rests - at 24 strokes per minute

➔Pace Guide = 2K+5 or faster (see below for 2K Pace info)➔Effort = 8/10 - will climb to 10/10➔Speech = Hard.

❗  This is about really pushing the power into the machine as you row. A usual training pace for 24spm is 2K+12  - so you'll be going at least 7 seconds faster during these intervals. So the intensity gets right up there. Luckily, the 2 minute rests let you recover enough to do it again - for a total of 5 intervals. ❗

🚥You can use Ergzone to programme your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for RA 85 under the RowAlong track which has the main session pre-programmed.

Hit top end pace 30 times in this interval workout over 30 minutes. Open your wings and fly at 30 strokes per minute! 🚣TOP Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K pace and faster  (See below for 2K pacing info)➔Effort = 10/10➔Speech = Hard

❗ This is all about pushing inthat power from the legs to get up to 2K pace. Don't start off too fast, stick to 2K pace, but appraise every 5 intervals whether you can go a bit faster. Just don't go out at 2K-10 and then have to limp home at 2K+10!!❗

Seriously, this row is incredible. Build from a slow 15 minutes into a faster 10 minutes then a max effort 5 mins to get an amazing row in 30 minutes.🚣TOP Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

Row 15mins at 20spm / 10mins at 24spm / 5 mins at 28spm(SPM+ Strokes per minutes)

➔Pace Guide = 2K+18/12/5 (and faster) See below for 2k pace info➔Effort = 5-10/10➔Speech = Comfortable to start, then harder - then HARD!

❗ This is a repeat of Day 17's row in this series, which along with Day 21 is my favourite of the series. This starts off ok - but the build through to the end adds intensity, and you come out the other end having had a great workout, and endorphins flowing all over your body.❗

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. 

If you enjoyed this workout, and want to Support RowAlong - then why not subscribe to this channel - maybe even leave a review of this Podcast? But I know some people want to do more - in which case, I've decided to start letting people know about my Patreon account, rather than have it hiding in the background.

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

Boost your fitness and your technique by rowing 5 minutes at 20spm then 1 minute at 15spm - 5 times.🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K + 18 (don't stress about pace for the 15's)➔Effort = 5-6/10➔Speech = Breathing a little harder, but ok to speak

❗ The 20spm part of this row should be 'bread and butter' for you. But the 15spm may slightly knock you out of your comfort zone. It's about slowing down the recovery to allow yourself to develop the right flow between the phases of the stroke - arms away, rock over hips, knees bend. If you're a bit sticky with your technique, this slow rate for 60 seconds will help.❗

🚥You can use Ergzone to programme your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for RA 30/30-26 under the RowAlong track which I've split the 30 minutes into 6 minute intervals. I've not programmed in the Warmup and Cooldown however, so you'll need to add them in yourself (I have some on the track, and tagged with the 30/30 label - just bookmark them for future use)  🚥
