Ep179 - RowAlong 1000m Plan - Week 2 Session1 - 10 x 1 minutes HARD

If you want to row fast, you need to train fast from time to time! Improve your 1K time with this RowAlong workout

🚣1 minute x 10 with 1 minute rests🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 1K Pace (or average pace of W1S1)➔Effort = 10/10➔Speech = Don't waste your breath. Just breathe! 

❗  It's a tricky ask. Row at max pace, 10 times - but also pace it so you don't just blow up by the end of Interval 1. That's why you can use the average pace from W1S1 or W1S5 as your target here, and see if you can row faster. ❗

For those doing the 1K plan, this is W2S1 - but you don't have to be rowing the plan to find this workout will give you a good kicking!! 

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W2S1) or set 10 x 1 minute intervals with 1 minute rests, or 19 minutes -  and RowAlong with me. 🚥

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

                                      🔵🔵🔵 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/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....
