ROWING CONCEPT 2 TRAINING
Train
your body to hold your desired pace to achieve your goal 2000 meter time by
determining your goal When preparing for a 2000 meter race, spending time on
the indoor rower is essential and accepting the inevitable suffering should be
a key component to the work done. This will prepare the mind and the body for
the 2K distance and create a beneficial confidence leading into the event. Here
are some of my favorite workouts in preparation for a 2000 meter race to get
the mind and body ready:
12 x
500 meters at 100% maximal intensity. Set up the performance monitor for 500
meter distance intervals so that you can see the times for all 12 once
complete. Stay as consistent as possible so the times for all 12 pieces are
within 8 seconds of each other.
2000 meter split (500 meter pace) and hold that goal pace
until it slips for three consecutive strokes. Record the length of time you
were able to hold that pace. Rest for 5 minutes and repeat. This process is
continued until you cannot get the monitor to show your desired pace for one
stroke. Once you can hold your goal split for your desired 2000 meter time, you
have met your goal. Next time, set up the performance monitor for 2000 meters
and attack it with the confidence that you can hold the 2K split (500 meter
pace) that will give you the goal finish time you have set as your goal.
