Slow it down but keep it interesting by changing the stroke rate and pace every 5 minutes. 🚣A BOTTOM intensity, regenerative row 🚣♀️
➔Pace Guide = 18spm at 2K+20-22 and 20spm at 2K+18-20➔Effort = 5/10➔Speech = Comfortable
*** After Day 3's really spicy row, this is a good way to let your body take a bit of a breather while still doing some rowing. Use this time to work on your technique and your rhythm while you also build your all important core fitness ***
A massive endorphin rush is the reward for getting through this row. Change every three minutes through 18/20/22/24/26spm - start slow and build up pace. Twice. 🚣MID intensity, hard (but not max) row 🚣♀️
➔Pace Guide = 18spm at 2K+20 - increase at least 2 seconds per rate increase➔Effort = 5/10 up to 8/10➔Speech = Comfortable, but climing up to tough
*** Rising up from the slower rates and paces, this workout is a gradual burner. But by the time you get to the 24spm interval, it'll start to get tougher. By the time you hit the 26spm chunk, you should be around 2K+10 pace, and starting to feel it. But then, you drop back to 18spm and 2K+20 again - only to do it all over again.***
🚥You can use Ergzone to programme your concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for RA 30/30-5 under the RowAlong track which I've split the 30 minutes into 1 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) 🚥

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.

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
