Want to row for longer without running out of steam? This 4 x 10 minute low-intensity rowing workout uses short 90-second recoveries to help you build towards longer continuous rows — while giving you time to think honestly about what could be holding your rowing back.▶ Follow the complete Road to 2K plan here:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWJF7FdUN_Mo🚣 TODAY'S WORKOUT• 4 × 10 minutes• 90 seconds rest / very light rowing between each• 20 strokes per minute• Around 2K +18 to +22 pace• Keep the intensity LOW• No separate warm-up — ease gently into the first 10 minutesThat's 40 minutes of quality low-intensity rowing — but you don't have to be capable of rowing continuously for 40 minutes to do it.Those 90-second breaks make a difference.They give you a chance to reset, help prevent your heart rate continually drifting upwards, and can make a volume of rowing possible that might feel intimidating as one uninterrupted block.Complete 4 × 10 today and you might just discover that a continuous 40-minute row isn't as far away as you thought.But there's another job for today's workout.Use the easy intensity to pay attention to yourself.What is actually limiting your rowing?Is it your aerobic fitness? Power? Technique? Pacing? Your ability to tolerate discomfort? Breathing? Or something else entirely?It's very easy to keep training the things we're already good at. Improvement sometimes means being honest enough to identify the weak link — and then actually doing something about it.That's what I'd like you to think about while we RowAlong today.This workout is also a little different from the rest of Road to 2K. Rather than rowing alongside the audio from the original plan, this coincided with my Sunday EXR group row, so this time we're properly rowing together with completely new coaching and conversation throughout.👇 When you're finished, tell me in the comments:🚣 Did 4 × 10 feel more manageable than 40 minutes straight?❤️ How well did you keep the intensity under control?🎯 What do you think YOUR biggest rowing weakness is right now?💪 And what are you going to do about it?👍 Subscribe if you're following Road to 2K so you don't miss the next workout.DON'T ROW ALONE.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⚠️ HEALTH DISCLAIMERAlways consult your doctor before beginning a new exercise programme.
