Thank you! Today I rowed it as a target distance row. 1200 m in each interval, just for fun. It was like 2k+19 pace, my HR was slightly higher than 70%, but not much. Tomorrow is just watching the film on a stationary bike and Friday is a day off, so I am going to recover.
Hurrah! Finally managed to stay in Zone 2 (65-67%) for entire workout (except for a total of 35 seconds where I crept up to zone 3 in the last part of a few intervals).
Good stuff. It really is hard keeping the intensity down. I look at Zone 2 as a bubble. If you can stay in the bubble, all is good, but when you just push a bit too hard, that bubble pops, making it really hard to get back inside again!
Well done!! Holding Zone 2 properly can be as tough as going max!! Maybe not from an exertion point of view, but certainly from a mental point of view.
Small Wins Add Up, I love the t-shirt. Another great row, thank you. The advice about the knees is spot on. Once you mentioned that I realized I was flaring my knees out. I need to work on that.
Ah! I need to wear this T-shirt mre often. And yes, the knees thing is an often missed point. Some people need to splay the knees out, and that's ok - but ideally, inside the 'box', kissing the biceps.
#getfitwithrowalong Lowered the foot stretcher by one setting. It appears that I’m getting more power into the stroke. As to the seat pad, I got one shortly after I got the rower in 1997. Over 10 million meters later, it’s still doing its job. Though it is much thinner then it originally was. Thanks for the sessions.
I have no problem when you are on the c2, but as a waterrower user...i have to admit i get a little more form check when you use the WR. Still digging the zone training and very curious on the tale of the tape when i get to the end of the program!
Another great row along, thanks!
Another great session, I actually love it when John talks nothing about rowing 😅
Happy New Year. Looking forward to a great 2024. #GetFitWithRowAlong
Sounds like MAF training this week, right up my alley! 👍
Thank you!

#getfitwithrowalong great session ,good advice 're the heels . Thanks John 😊
Love this series!
Hello, I'm doing rowing as alternative training, would you recommend this 6x5 min zone 2 or 30 min zone 2?
thanks for the row John . That might be the first one in the heart rate training I've done that I have kept in the zone. See yah on the next row.

Yay! Stayed in zone 2 all the way! Ready for the full intensity row.

#getfitwithrowalong. thanks John another great workout. i must be off on my 2k pace because kept around 2k plus 18 but HR too high.
Wearing cycling shorts while using the water rower makes it much better
True. And I've done that a couple of times when I'm doing cardio circuits between the rower, the bike and the ski-erg.
#getfitwithrowalong. Doing much better with keeping in the proper zone

Amazing! Keep on watching RowAlong videos and hunting for the treasure!
Weird enough… WHAT is the name of your FB group.. I looked at RowAlong workouts and nothing? Thx!
Just RowAlong. Go to Facebook.con/groups/rowalong
How many watts are you putting ign on these zone 2 workouts.
To be honest, I never look at watts. But I'll row these around 2:05/500m pace, which is around 180 watts.
