RowAlong – Indoor Rowing Machine Workouts

Get the best of both worlds in this row by rowing slow, then a short sprint.🚣MID Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

Row for 4:30 at 22 strokes per minute then 30 seconds sprint 6 times.

➔Pace Guide = 2K + 15-16 - then 2K pace or better➔Effort = 6/10 then 9-10/10➔Speech = Heart rate will be up, breathing harder, but ok to speak

❗ This is a great all round row, which lets you biuld that core fitness, and work on your technique at the lower rate, and then spread your wings and go for it on the sprint section. One word of warning though, when you get back to the 22spm pieces, try to hit rate and pace as soon as possible. Don't slow right down to recover from the sprint - the intensity should remain high. You'll recover enough over the next 4:30 to be able to sprint again. But progressively, this row should get tougher.❗

🚥You can use Ergzone to programme your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for RA 30/30-25 under the RowAlong track which I've split the 30 minutes into 5 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)  🚥

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

This 30 minute row is over before you know it due to the short intervals.🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

Change every two minutes from 18/20/22/20/18 strokes per minute

➔Pace Guide = 2K + 20/18/15/18/20 x 3➔Effort = 5-6/10➔Speech = Heart rate will be up, breathing harder, but ok to speak

❗ This is back to Day 10 of the workouts, as I'm going to repeat some of the best ones as we draw to a close. Work on your technique, and the slight increase in push you need from your legs to increase your stroke rate and pace.❗

Get your push on and get that pace up one minute at a time on the rowing machine🚣TOP Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

Row 2 minutes easy, then 1 minute at 30spm and 2K pace or better - repeat 10 times. When you get halfway, crank up the pace if you can. 

➔Pace Guide = Paddle (around 2K+ 40-50) then 2K pace➔Effort = 5/10 then 10/10➔Speech = Surprisingly, not to bad as it's just 60 seconds of hard effort at a time

❗ This is about using your legs to push the pace up for you. With only 60 seconds x 10 through this workout, your cardio system may not be on fire, but if you're going hard enough - your legs WILL be. Strive to go faster than your 2K pace towards the second half of the workout - but don't do it right from the start if you think it'll mean you need to limp to a finish❗

Make a low stroke rate row a challenge by covering the pace on your monitor🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

Row 30 minutes at 20 strokes per minute. Either row it at 2K+18-20 pace, or cover the monitor, and row how hard you think you should row to hit this pace. Use the force! 

➔Pace Guide = Start at 2K+18-20 (hopefully!)➔Effort = 5 or 6/10 ➔Speech = Out of breath a bit, but comforttable

❗ Covering the monitor is really just to give this a bit of an added challenge, as 30 minutes at 20spm isn't exactly a firework show of a row. But it's a good challenge for your consistency across this simple row.❗

🚥You can use Ergzone to programme your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for RA 30/30-22 under the RowAlong track which I've split the 30 minutes into 2 minute intervals.

Get a great rowing workout by rowing up and down stroke rates, then finishing with a FAST LAST🚣MID Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

4 minute intervals at 18/22/24/26/24/22/18spm - with a 2 minute 28spm on the end

➔Pace Guide = Start at 2K+20-22 then increase 5/3/3 seconds with the stroke rate increases (then decrease) finish at 28spm and 2K+5 or faster➔Effort = 5/10 to 8/10 ➔Speech = Comfortable, then a bit tough - then comfortable again - then a lot tougher!

❗ The 4 minute intervals make this a really quick feeling workout - and the 2 minute 'chaser' on the end just takes this into a perfect workout. It's not a top tier max effort, but you'll be working hard, and the endorphin pay-off at the end when you row fast is amazing!❗

🚥You can use Ergzone to programme your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for RA 30/30-21 under the RowAlong track which I've split the 30 minutes into 2 minute intervals.

Start slow then increase pace as you row for 4 3 2 1 minutes 3 times, going through 18/20/22/24spm🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = Start at 2K+20-22 then increase 2/3/3 seconds with the stroke rate increases. Reset to 2K+20-22 for the 18spm again➔Effort = 5/10 to 7/10 ➔Speech = Comfortable, then a bit tough - then comfortable again

❗ Although the 24spm is a bit more intense than a usual Bottom Tier row, because it's only 1 minute long, and then back into the 18spm, it shouldn't push you too hard. The main reason for the 4/3/2/1 is to make the time fly past..❗

A great standalone HARD rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 19th Day of the series. 

Split the 30 minutes into 6 minute chunks (with no rest) and row at 18/22/26/22/18spm🚣MID Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+20 / 15 / 10 / 15 / 20➔Effort = 5/10 to 8/10 ➔Speech = Comfortable, then tough, should end ok again

❗ The rise through the rate and pace in this pyramid will increase your intensity for this row so you'll need to push to keep going. But before it gets too much, you'll go down the other side of the pyramid. The 22 and 18's won't be as easy as they were on the way up, but you'll feel the intensity back off as you come to a close.❗

A great standalone FITNESS BOOSTING rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 18th Day of the series. 

Row the 30 minutes at 18spm at 2K+20-22 pace, but every 5 minutes, take 5 power strokes🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+20-22➔Effort = 5/10 (push as hard as possible on the 5 power strokes)➔Speech = Comfortable, even with the power strokes

❗ Why the power strokes? Just to make it a bit more interesting. This workout is best done at 2K+20-22 the whole way - but unless you love that workout, it can be a bit tedious. So as a reward for getting through 5 minutes at a time, you get to push hard for 5 strokes (still at 18spm though). ❗

A great standalone MAX EFFORT rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 17th Day of the series. 

Start easy, and end up at MAX on the Intensity Pyramid by increasing rate and pace. 🚣15 / 10 / 5 mins intervals with no rest!🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide =15mins at 20spm / 2K+ 18    10mins at 24spm / 2K+12   5 mins at 28spm / 2K+5 or faster➔Effort = Starts at 5/10 - ends at 10/10➔Speech = Comfortable - then gasping for air by the end! 

❗ This one sneaks up on you. The easy start soon gets the edges knocked off by hitting the 24spm - and when the 28spm comes along, you should be hanging on until the end! ❗

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

Rise up through some stroke rates every 5 minutes in this fitness building 30 minute row🚣BOTTOM intensity Workout🚣‍♀️

Row at 18/20/22/18/20/22spm - changing every 5 minutes

➔Pace Guide = 18spm at 2K+20-22 - Increase 2 secs with rate increases➔Effort = 5-10/10➔Speech = Comfortable

*** The rate changes are just here to keep it interesting, but also so you can develop that feel for how just a slight increase in drive speed results in the increase in stroke rate and pace ***

🚥You can use Ergzone to programme your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for RA 30/30-16 under the RowAlong track which I've split the 30 minutes into 5 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)  🚥
