Ep 143 - A Sting in the Tail - Rowing Machine Workout

RowAlong with me at a fitness building pace, then go fast! 

🚣6mins at 20spm / 1 min at 28spm / 90 sec rest - 5 times 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 20spm at 2K+18 / 28spm at 2K+5 ➔Effort = 5-6/10 - then 9/10➔Speech = Comfortable - then tougher - but only for 1 minute

❗  There are many reasons to love this RowAlong. The 20spm sections build your fitness, burn a lot of calories, and let you work on your technique and flow on the machine. But then the 28spm lets you spread your wings and go fast. So for those that may not enjoy constant 20spm rowing - there's a nice sting in the tail of each interval for you to get your teeth into.❗

🚥You can use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA92) or set 5 x 7 minute intervals with 90 seconds rest - or just set the main session as a single 41 minute row and RowAlong with me. 🚥

                                      🔵🔵🔵 SHOWING SUPPORT FOR ROWALONG 🔵🔵🔵

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/UCGYcAoZ9WTJriM9jZkXxoPg?sub_confirmation=1)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....

But seriously - just keep watching, that's all I ask!!

This workout is provided as usual WITHOUT MUSIC. If you want music,  why not load up another YouTube tab, or maybe Soundcloud and pick your own tunes. 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
