The Ladies getting after it in Heat 1 of the Renegade Rowing League last Saturday!

“Beach Burner”

500m Row, 20 Lateral Hurdles (Just Below Knee)

500m Row, 20 Toes to Bar

Today’s Strength and Conditioning WOD is inspired by the beach to warm-up those that aren’t lucky enough to live in warm weather year round.  You might not be doing this one at the beach, but it should be just as fun.  Try to remain consistent on your 500m intervals.

Rowing WOD 12/23/14: 4×1.5k w/ 4min Rest – Post Average Splits

Here’s the training plan for the week! RRTP 12-22-14

Rowing WOD:CFRowing Trainer Course Drills

4 x 1,500m w/ 4:00 rest

  • Execute Race Focus
  • Row Each Piece @28-30 s/m at the following paces: 2k+5, 2k+4, 2k+3, 2k+2

While it’s good to constantly vary your training to push your boundaries, there is something to be said about repetition to build your confidence!  Today’s Rowing WOD is an opportunity to build your aerobic capacity and work on a couple of tactical and technique fixes.

Have a game plan for each piece including the split and stroke rating you want to hold.  Ideally each piece will be done consistently or a little bit faster.  If you’re working on efficiency or sequencing, focus on one fix each piece.  Perhaps you find your breath and rhythm on the first.  Or maybe it’s sequencing and body preparation that needs attention on the second.  If you choose the right pace it will build your confidence and you will be ready to tear up your next 2k and Rowing WOD.  Our next 2k will be the Renegade Rowing League on Saturday, January 24th! Register Here!

Congrats on the RRL 2k and PR’s! S&CWOD 12/22/14: 6RFT – 10 Push Ups, 250m Row, 10 Pull Ups – Post Time

Strength and Conditioning WOD 12/22/14:

6 Rounds For Time …

10 Push Ups

250m Row (@2k Pace)

10 Pull Ups

:30 Rest After Each Round

It’s Christmas Week, but we can still fit in some solid work.  We’ve got a few more solid days left in 2014, so let’s make the most of them!  Today’s Rowing WOD is a chance to commit to your new 2k split from last Saturday and work on digging deep when the going gets tough.  Every round is an opportunity to fight for that split, just like in the third 500m of a 2k.  Focus on good form with the push ups and pull ups to strengthen our shoulders in different planes and promote good connection through the core.  Attack each round like it’s your last and rely on that 30 seconds of rest to reset and do it all again.  A good goal is to go sub 20 minutes.

Have fun and do good work!

It has arrived!  Renegade Rowing League Race #2 is here!  If you’re in the Boston area come compete and cheer everyone on at 114 Western Ave, Allston, MA.  It starts at 8:00am and there will be mobility demos and mobility toys to play with as well.  Let the games begin!

Rowing WOD:

Get After It!

2k Row

Today’s Rowing WOD is a 2k Row.  It’s a test of how much pain and glory you can endure over seven to eight minutes.  Grab some friends and get after it.  This is our second test of the winter season and will give us a baseline to work off of and use in pacing future workouts. Be in the moment, execute your splits, smile, have some fun, breath, and get after it!

Post your 2k results to comments!

As a Renegade Rower you should be developing broad, general, and inclusive fitness as well as your competence in the sport of rowing.  Today’s workout is a way to test your abilities in both.  It should give you an idea of your work capacity in the 3-6 minute range.  Try to row the 500m piece at a consistent pace to stay fresh for the other movements.

Post your time and strategy to comments.  What stroke rating and 500m split did you try to maintain?
