Ep 30 - 2000m Plan Week 3 Session 3 - 30 mins at 18spm

30 mins at 18spm - BOTTOM TIER WORKOUT

Pace Guide = 2K+20-22 - No faster (until the end if you wish) Effort Guide = 5-6/10Speech = Comfortable

❗ An important return of the 30 mins at 18spm session. These lower rate, slower rows - today is 2K+20-22 - are so important for building the fuel tank and engine you'll use to be able to maintain your speed in the 2K. DO NOT PUSH THESE SESSIONS! As easy as it is to let your ego take over and go faster, as it's really easy to go faster on this kind of session - please don't - as you'll undo a large part of the benefits of this session if you do. ❗

I row all of the intervals at the correct strokes per minute. The Concept2 rowing machine has a very obvious woosh to each stroke - so just follow along with me, keep an eye on the SPM display on your monitor too - and increase or decrease your speed as required. And I'll keep you company along the way with various ramblings. If you don't know your 2K pace - row a 2000m time trial and look at the average /500m on the screen at the end. That is your 2K pace. So if it says 2:05 as your average - your 18spm rate above will be 2:25 pace. www.RowAlong.com is the website behind all of this - all these podcasts originate as Videos on my RowAlong YouTube channel if you want to see me as well as hear me.
