Ep174 - RowAlong 1000m Plan - Week 1 Session 1 - 8 x 1 min FAST!

Go fast and try to hold your pace and stroke rate for 1 minute 8 times in this RowAlong workout🚣8 x 1minute with 1 minute rests 🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide = 1K Rate and Pace➔Effort = 9-10/10➔Speech = Don't talk. Just breathe!❗  The point is to go as fast as you can, but not fly and die. You need to pace this fast, but also so you can get through all 8 intervals. It's ok if you fade during the interval, but you shouldn't go so hard that you can't even start the next one! ❗Once you've finished, take the average pace you rowed at. This is your 1Km pace. And in future rows, when I say to row at 1K pace, row at this average, or faster.🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K W1S1) set 8 x 1min intervals with 1 minute rests, or just set 15 minutes RowAlong with me. 🚥RowAlong to the YouTube Video here: https://youtu.be/MYC8XplJrXo 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.
