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.❗

🚥You can use Ergzone to programme your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for RA 30/30-19 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)  🚥

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

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! ❗

Push the pace at 20 stroke per minute by a couple of seconds. I know! I've gone bonkers! 🚣MID intensity Workout🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = Start at 2K+15 or faster➔Effort = Starts at 4/10 - ends at 10/10➔Speech = Comfortable - then gasping for air by the end! 

*** It's Bon Jovi day - we're half way there! (Wait for the end for a very special tribute). And my reward to you for getting this far is allowing you to push the 20spm rate a bit. Aren't I nice? So instead of the usual 2K+18 - push the pace up to 2K+15 or faster. But be sure to keep this at a MID intensity. If you feel like it's nudging TOP - you're going too hard!! ***

Row 30 minutes how you like. I do it at a basic 20spm and 2K+18ish pace in this row. 🚣BOTTOM intentisty row 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = Start 2K+18 ➔Effort =  6/10 ➔Speech = Comfortable

*** As day 14 of the 30 Days of 30 minutes rows, you can pick how you want to row this. My plan was to push the 20spm up to about 2K+14/15 - but as I have a light tweak to my intercostals, I'm likely to do that tomorrow instead..***

This was done live on Ergrace. So you'll notice a few references to it, and this is the reason the normal metrics aren't on screen (as ErgRace doesn't save the stroke info).

Break 30 minutes into 5 minute intervals, and climb a rate ladder twice, from 20 to 22 to 24 strokes per minute.🚣MID intentisty row 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = Start 2K+18 - increase 2-3 seconds with rate increase➔Effort =  6/10 (climbs to 7/10)➔Speech = Slightly less comfortable than bottom tier

*** This is a simple row, but the ramp up in exertion, and then the rest of rate and pace to climb the ladder again is really effective. You should feel like  you've had a good row after this, but nowhere near exhaustion.***

I finish this off with a 1 minute Time Trial. Not for any training reason, but because I needed to do one for this month's C2CTC challenge.

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
