Fed up listening to me talk technique during a low intensity rowing workout? This is the row for you.

I think I spend 30 seconds in the warm up and 30 seconds in the main workout talking technique. So if you're looking for a technique focussed row, this isn't the one! Row 19 of this series goes into it a lot deeper, try that one!

35 minutes at 20spm

➔HR Training Zone = 2 (60-70% max)
➔Effort/10 = 5/10
➔2K Training page - 2K+20 (ish) (See below for 2K pace info)

💓 Remember, if you're using HR zones, stick to your zone!

❗ If you have a heart rate monitor, and would like to use HR Zones for training, but haven't done a maxHR test on the rowing machine, you can use the calculator on my webpage: https://rowalong.com/calculating-maxhr/ A test is more accurate, but this will at least get you going with HR training ❗

Remember, before you undertake ANY kind of physical activity, it's up to YOU to make sure your body is ok to do so. Check with a medical professional if you're at all unsure.


🔵🔵🔵 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....

Patreon: https://patreon.com/rowalong

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
