? Descend through 9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 minutes, swapping 20spm and 18spm (no rests)?♀️
➔Pace Guide = 20spm at 2K+18 then 18spm at 2K+20
➔Effort = 5-6/10
➔Speech = Comfortable
❗ As the durationon these rows gets longer, you’ll start to feel more of a workout intensity even though the actual pace is still down at the “slow” end of the training guides. But that’s ok – it’s all part of building your fitnes to be able to row the 10Km. ❗
The point of 9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 is really just to keep it interesting. Swapping rates in ever shortening sections will hopefully make the time go quicker as you get shorter and shorter periods as you get closer to the end.
?Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA62) or just set the main session as 45 mins?

See you in the next video.
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
