For full information about the RowAlong 5K Plan. go to:https://www.rowalong.com/5000m-plan🚣 Week 4 Session 4 is  3 x 8 minute with 2:30 rests 🚣‍♀️

But rather than a straight 8 minutes, this is how you'll row each interval: 

6 minutes at 24spm / 2K+12 (5K+7)1 minute at 26spm / 2K+9 (5K+4)1 minute at 28spm / 2K+5 (5K pace)

Repeat this for the second interval, but in the third - if you want to go max pressure for that last 28spm minute, then fill your boots. Go for it.

Effort Guide = 7-8 (will end closer to 9.5-10/10)Speech = Not constant

❗  This is a solid MID workout - which, if you push that last 1 minute, will start to tickle TOP. Be careful though - If you don't stick to the pace guide, you'll slip into TOP tier for most of it. ❗

🚥If you want to programme your monitor as a 3 x 8 minute interval workout - remember to set the rest to UNDEFINED. (I don't suggest doing this as 6/1/1 without rests for the RowAlong). This way, we'll both start and stop at the same time. There is a video on how to do this here:  🚥

ℹℹℹℹℹℹ - 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.  ℹℹℹℹℹℹ

Pace Guide = 5K+15-17 to start - 2 sec faster for 20spm - 2 sec faster for 22spmEffort Guide = 5-6Speech = Mostly comfortable (the 22 may be slightly tougher)

❗  A nice bumpy BOTTOM tier row. The 22spm section will obviously be slightly harder than the 18 that you start at - and the fact that you'll be rowing for a total of 40 minutes will certainly let you now that you've had a good workout. But it shouldn't stretch you from a cardio or muscular point of view - it'll just help build your foundation fitness. ❗

It IS meant to stay a bottom tier workout. So if you find you're blowing up, back off a couple of seconds. But I want you to maintain the stroke rate. Hopefully as we're on Week 4 - you should know what your body is capable of, and know to start on the back end of the pacing guide if you think this is going to need it.

For full information about the RowAlong 5K Plan. go to:https://www.rowalong.com/5000m-plan🚣 Week 4  Session 4  is 5 x 4mins with 3 min rests  🚣‍♀️

Pace Guide = 5K Pace (Around 2K+5)Effort Guide = 9-10 Speech = Very tough

❗  This is a proper TOP tier workout. It's around the amount of total time you might do a 5K at (+/- a couple of minutes)  ❗

You'd think that the 3 minute rests are luxurious as such. But you're rowing at your average 5K time, which should be faster than you'd do most of the 5K test at (for instance, my PB was 17:30 - but I rowed most of it at 1:47 - not the 1:45 training pace that would have given me. I doubt I'd have been able to hold 1:45 from the beginning). 

So when you factor that, and the fact that this row is part of a training plan of 5 sessions a week (so I don't want you to destroy yourself) then this is a good session to row.

Pace Guide = 2K+6-8 (5K+1-3)Effort Guide = 7-8 Speech = Not constant

❗  This is a MID workout that with ambitions to be a TOP. It exposes you to intensity through the 3 minute intervals. But the 1:30 rest will let you recover well enough for the next. That said, if you don't stick to the pace guide, you'll slip into TOP tier for it. Another one where I don't even throw in a suprise sprint at the end, as I want this to remain in the MID tier. ❗

❗  This is one of the rare occasions where a BOTTOM tier workout has moments of feeling like a MID tier. But as you roll from the 24spm back into the 18spm again, it returns to a BOTTOM tier workout. ❗

In conjunction with Session 5 - it's ok that this BOTTOM tier session isn't as BOTTOM as most. That's because Session 5's MID tier workout is on the easier side. They offset each other. The important thing though, is to not push the 18spm splits on this row. As you'll end up going too fast at 24.

🚣 Week 3  Session 3  is  20 x 1min/1min rest at 20spm 🚣‍♀️

Pace Guide = MAX POWER each strokeEffort Guide = 9-10/10Speech = Not constant

❗  This  is a power overload session. I don't usually tell you to push the low rate stuff, but this is the exception - we're building power today - so go as hard as you can with every stroke at 20 strokes per minute ❗

It's important that you do this safely. Make sure you are warmed up. And if you feel any niggles at all in your muscles, either before, or during the row - stop. Do another session. And technique is paramount here. Get that forward lean right, and holding that lean, push the machine away with your legs. Let the power go through your body. Don't fight against it with bent arms or by leaning back before the leg drive.

And just wait for the # this session!!

The important thing here is to concentrate on that one stroke to get the technique right. 1 stroke, then back to normal - and each time you do it, concentrate on straight arms and a forward lean at the front, so as you drive hard, you're letting your body transfer the power, rather than fighting against it. 

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.

ℹℹℹℹℹℹ - 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.  ℹℹℹℹℹℹ

I've been asked a few times about the best way to support what I'm doing. Honestly, the best way is just to watch and subscribe using this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGYc...)More views lead to more views - and I'm really just interested in getting more people on board to RowAlong with. (Make sure to click the notification bell to be alerted when I upload new workouts)

That said, I know that there are some people who want to show their support financially, and as much as I've shied away from giving out links to this before - I've been advised to at least provide the links - to stop someone spoofing me!! So....

For full information about the RowAlong 5K Plan. go to:https://www.rowalong.com/5000m-plan🚣 Week 3  Session 1  is 5 x 5mins at 5K stroke rate (28spm for me)  🚣‍♀️

Pace Guide = 5K + 1-3 - (around 2K+6-8)Effort Guide = 7-8 Speech = Not constant

❗  This is a solid MID workout that adds to the intensity levels that we've been going through in week 1 and week 2. It's time to add a bit of intensity (this session) and a bit of power (session 3) this week  If you don't stick to the pace guide, you'll slip into TOP tier for it. Another one where I don't even throw in a suprise sprint at the end, as I want this to remain in the MID tier. ❗

The point of this workout is that it WON'T feel easy. But at the same time, it's not a TOP workout that will destroy you and leave you unable to continue at the end. 

As each interval progresses, you'll get to a point where you'll expose yourself to 'hardship'. But then you'll have a rest for 2 minutes, which lets you recover - and the next interval will get to that point a little quicker. As I say in the video, it allows you to taste the hardship of what it feels like during a 2K, when muscles and lungs are working really hard - and your mind starts to ask you questions about whether you can continue at that pace. But importantly, you won't need to stop. You can keep going until the next rest period.

🚥If you want to programme your monitor as a 5x5 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:  🚥
