12 Rows of Christmas 2025 - 1 Rate Capped Time Trial

Welcome to Time to Sleigh — a 12-workout Christmas rowing series! Workout #1: One Rate Capped Time Trial sets your power benchmark for the series. After a 4-minute warm-up, you'll complete 4 minutes at 20 strokes per minute with MAXIMUM POWER on every stroke. This isn't steady state — this is controlled mince pie burning...🎅 WHAT YOU'LL DO:✅ 4 minutes warm-up (easy rowing, building intensity)✅ 4 minutes @ 20spm (MAXIMUM POWER - all out effort)✅ Total: 8 minutes⚠️ IMPORTANT WARMUP ADVICE: This is a high-intensity time trial. I strongly recommend doing one of my "5K Every Day" videos first to properly warm up your body before attempting this maximum effort. Your muscles need to be warm and ready before unleashing full power. Keep your stroke rate locked at 20spm — watch your monitor. Focus on explosive leg drive, strong back engagement, and powerful finishes.This is about watts per stroke, not speed. Set your benchmark — you'll see how your power develops throughout the series. This is Workout 1 of 12 in the Time to Sleigh series. Cooldown separately after completing.
