Rowing WOD 1/4/14:

2 x 2k w/ 5min rest

Mike w/ nice Preparation on his first day back from the Holiday

1st 2k: 

  • 750m @ Race Pace
  • 250m @ 18 spm (paddle light)
  • 750m @ Race Pace
  • 250m @ 18 spm (paddle light)

Rest 5min

2nd 2k: 

  • 750m @ Race pace
  • 500m @ 18 spm (paddle light)
  • 750m @ Race Pace

Have you ever wished you could get a feel for Fran before competing so that you know what to plan for mentally and physically?  If you’re competing at the Renegade Rowing League on January 25th or CRASH-B’s on February 16th I’m sure you’re thinking about that 2k.  What will it feel like?  How should it be paced?  What can I do to improve upon my last 2k?

Today’s Rowing WOD is a great way to test out the race pace you’d like to hold on your next 2k.  Set the monitor for 2,000m of work and 5 minutes of rest.  During the first 750m hold your ideal race pace and really execute with intensity.  Then paddle out for the next 250m .  At the 1000m mark build back up and row the next 750m at race pace.  Finish with a  paddle to recover.  The second 2k will be executed similarly.

To see your consistency during the race pace portions set the monitor to record split lengths of 250m.  This is done on the screen when you enter the work and rest.  After the workout go into the memory and check it out.

Post your goal 500m Split and how you executed the 750m portions to achieve it.

Partner WOD

Accumulate 3k Row and Max Double Unders

(1 person rows, 1 person does double unders)

As we begin 2014 it’s time to reconnect and catch up with friends and loved ones.  Use today’s Rowing WOD as an opportunity to work hard together and feel good heading into the New Year.

Competition is a big part of rowing and sports, especially when there are teams or communities involved.  While the thrill of intrinsic motivation should be what drives us, we should not forget about the power of the opponent or the teammate in competition.  We can push ourselves as individuals, but the opportunity to push ourselves against others will only make us better.

For today’s Rowing WOD put together teams of two and compete.  You and your partner can switch whenever you want.  What will be your strategy? (If you have to do this on your own then accumulate 2k by rowing 500m intervals and performing double unders for the amount of time it took you to row the 500m.  The Undefined Rest function on the C2 Erg is great for this!)

Post your time and max double unders to comments.  Team Names Encouraged!

4 Rounds For Time

500m Row

10 Deadlifts 225/155

How do you game your WODs?  When attacking a 2k row a good way to game it is to think of 4 different races in your head.  Each one is a fresh start to hold your ideal split, stick to a stroke rating, refocus and fight.  Today’s Rowing WOD is all about that mentality.  Before going into it be sure to warmup your deadlift and do a few bursts on the erg at the split you aim to hold for each piece.

Drive through the heels!

Drive through the heels!

Think of each set of deadlifts as a power 10 to walk through your opponents.  Drive those heels down, make that boat feel light, and crush them!

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 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 rowing WOD. Below are some goals and times to think about.

Post your splits as well as your fastest and slowest times!

Interval Time = 3:15; Goal 2k Time = 6:30

Interval Time = 3:30; Goal 2k Time = 7:00

Interval Time = 3:45; Goal 2k Time = 7:30

Interval Time = 4:00; Goal 2k Time = 8:00

Interval Time = 4:15; Goal 2k Time = 8:30

Interval Time = 4:30; Goal 2k Time = 9:00

:30 Rest After Each Round

Now that Christmas Day has passed it’s time to get back to work.  We’ve got a few more solid days left in 2013, 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!
