Ep 148 - 5K Rowing Plan - Prologue - 40mins at 20spm

For full information about the RowAlong 5K Plan. go to:https://www.rowalong.com/5000m-plan🚣 Prologue Workout - 40mins at 20spm. 🚣‍♀️Pace Guide = 2K+18-20 (5K+13-15)Effort Guide = 5-6 Speech = OKCards on the table. I messed up and recorded this as Workout 1. It wasn't until I was done that I remembered W1S1 was a MID Tier workout - not a bottom tier!! Which is why I've called this a Prologue. It kind of makes sense anyway, as I go right to the beginning in terms of assuming you've never watched any of my videos before. So I talk about setting up the machine, the warmup, technique etc as though it's the first time you've heard it. And then through the main session I try to spend as much time as possible breaking down the elements of the rowing stroke, before then talking about the plan itself. So it's still just as good a workout as the rest of the 5K plan will have - it's not a soft workout by any means - it's just an intro to the plan, rather than part of the actual plan!! (And apologies if I didn't edit out all of the references to this being Week 1 Session 1.)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.  Watch the video to RowAlong to here: https://youtu.be/EG40_MayVZc  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.
