12 Rows of Christmas - 7 Minutes Sprinting - RowAlong Rowing Workout

Row fast and strong right from the start. Sprint 1 minute intervals 7 times with 75 seconds rest.🚣A TOP INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide: Start at 1K pace (around 2K-5) but go faster if you can!➔Effort = 10/10➔Speech = Don't even try

❗ There's only 7 intervals here, so you NEED TO GO FAST. Start at 1K pace (around 2K-5) and if you think it's too easy, speed up. If you don't end up in a similar state to me by the end, you've not put in 10/10 effort.❗

I've tried something new at the end of this one when I'm saying goodbye. I've added in a split screen of the basic stretching that I do after each row. I'm going to film it again - and do a standalone video too - but I'd love to know what you think about it.

🚥You can use Ergzone to program your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for 12 Rows - Day 7 under the RowAlong track which has the main session pre-programmed. I've not programmed in the Warmup and Cooldown however, so you'll need to add them in yourself (I have some on the track, with the label "Bookmark These" so you can just bookmark them for future use)  🚥

As always, follow me for stroke rate. Anad I'll keep you company for the row with training tips, technique tips, and my usual general waffle.

ℹ - 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.  ℹ
