Ep 61 - 2K Plan Week2 S1 - 40mins at 18spm - Fitness Booster

A fitness building rowing workout which gives you time to work on technique🚣 40 minutes 18spm 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+20-22➔Effort = 5-6/10➔Speech = Comfortable

❗  The big difference here, is that I've made the mistake of believing I'm interesting. The first 10 minutes of this row is a brief run-down of technique. But then for the next 30 minutes, I go through the first part of my story as a rower. I'll pop up every now and then with a reminder on technique - but mostly, this one is quite selfishly, all about me.❗

I think it's fair to say  this may not be everyone's cup-of-tea. But 40 minute 18spm rows are about hitting the right technique and then trying to hold it through the duration. So instead of just repeating technique info - I thought I'd tell you a bed-time-story. Do let me know if you're at all interested in it. So I know whether to bother with Part 2!! 

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.

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
