RowAlong - Indoor Rowing Workouts
RowAlong
A friendly voice in your ear to motivate, coach and entertain you through each Indoor Rowing workout as we RowAlong together. I set the stroke rate and the training pace based on your current 2000m time. Just set your monitor to Just Row – and start and stop when I tell you. For more info and to check out the YouTube videos - go to rowalong.com Each show is a different Indoor Rowing workout which I row - and you RowAlong with me. I row on a Concept2 rowing machine - but you can use whatever you have. And I keep you company through the session, talking to you about technique considerations, training tips, what I'm having for dinner and other off topic moments, all designed to keep you motivated and distracted while you work through your session. In the end, we'll both be Fitter Faster Stronger. This is the audio taken from the YouTube videos on the RowAlong YouTube channel - but it still works. There may be a couple of times when I show the wrong technique, which won't translate through audio that well of course, but 99% of it will be fine. The Concept 2 rowing machine makes a very recognisable Wooooosh noise with every stroke. So use that, and your monitor display to keep track of your stroke rate as you RowAlong with me. All workouts can be performed as stand-alone workouts. But do check out how they're often grouped into training plans. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

January Motivation 6 - 35 minute Rowing Workout for All Rowers
Mix 4 minutes of low intensity with 1 minute of high intensity to give you an amazing workout on the rowing machine🚣4mins at 20spm then 1min FAST x6 (1 minute rests) 🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide = 20spm at 2K+18 (see below for 2K pace info) 1 min is as fast as you can➔Effort = Starts at 5/10 - ends at 10/10➔Speech = Comfortable - then gasping for air ! ❗ Mixing up the two paces makes this a really fun way to get a lot of bang for your training buck. The important thing is that you hold the 20spm pace the same through the whole workout - and that you still give the 1 minute all you have in you, even if that's slightly slower than when you started due to fatigue. ❗00:00 Introduction02:41 Warmup07:46 Main Session43:53 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.

January Motivation 5 - 30 minute low intensity
There's nothing standard about this standard row, as I look into a major change in technique for steady state rowing.🚣30 minutes at 20 strokes per minute🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide = 2K+18 (see below for 2K pacing info)➔Effort = 5-6/10➔Speech = Comfortable the whole way❗ I purposefully dropped a couple of seconds off my usual time for this, and ended up even slower by the end. Partly because of the technique tweak, partly because today was meant to be a rest day, and partly because keeping a low end heart rate is much better than pushing this kind of row. ❗The video I keep referring to for the technique tweak is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFSGS...🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA101) or just set the main session as a single 30 minute row and RowAlong with me. 🚥00:00 Introduction02:36 Warmup07:50 Main Session39:01 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
