Ep 15 - The importance of Baseline Tests for a rowing training plan like a 2000m

In this episode, I talk to you rather than row with you. But at just under 8 minutes long, you may want to strap in and listen to it while doing a warmup for a session. Ahead of uploading the RowAlong sessions for the 2000m training plan, I wanted to talk about the importance of Baseline testing. Baseline tests are vital if you want to know how you progress through your training plan, whether it's a 2K or a 5K or any other distance. But they also give you an up to date training pace to work from so you know how fast to row the sessions at. To know more about the RowAlong training plans, head to www.rowalong.com - To check out the RowAlong videos on YouTube, head to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGYcAoZ9WTJriM9jZkXxoPg/videosAlthough the references and rows all discuss a Concept2 rowing machine - you don't have to use one. The pace guides may be slightly different if your display isn't the same as a Concept 2 - but you should be able to work it out - even if you just use the Effort / 10 scale that I provide in the workouts.Find more indoor rowing workouts, training plans, and rowing technique guides at rowalong.comWatch the full video versions on YouTube: youtube.com/@rowalong Join the community: facebook.com/groups/rowalongInstagram: @rowalong_workouts RowAlong is a free follow-along rowing workout podcast for indoor rowers of all levels.
