Ep183 - RowAlong 1000m Plan - Week 2 Session 5 - 4 x 2 minutes FAST!

RowAlong - Indoor Rowing Workouts

This isn't just for the 1K Plan rowers. Anyone will love this hard and fast row - pushing more power into the machine at increasing stroke rates.

🚣2 minutes x 4 at 26/28/30/32spm with 3 minute rests 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = MAX POWER that you can achieve - bearing in mind you've got four intervals to do. Don't under pace - but don't fly and die either!!➔Effort = 10/10➔Speech = Just breathe and Row Along. For once, even I shut up!!

❗ We've worked on higher rate, we've worked on higher power. Now combine them and see how you get on when you keep the power at max, but increase your stroke rate each time! ❗

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W2S5) or set 2 minute intervals with 3 minutes rest, or just 17 minutes and RowAlong with me. 🚥RowAlong with the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/xNUXsspsRy4

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....

Patreon: https://patreon.com/rowalongPayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_...

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