RowAlong with me for 30 minutes while I give my first impressions of my new Water Rower (I still have / use my Concept2, don't worry!)

5 minutes before making this video, I'd finished building it. And as the last time I'd used a Water Rower it was a broken knock off in a hotel in Spain, this was like my first ever row on one.

Over a 30 minute row, which I invite you to RowAlong with me, regardless of what machine YOU use, I talk about why I've bought one and how it will fit in with my RowAlong workouts alongside my Concept2 rowing machine.

And obviously I talk about what I think of it. Spoiler alert, I hate the seat. But I'm eager to try out one of Austin from Training Tall's suggestions about this:    • Here's Why I HATE the WaterRower Seat...  


SHOWING SUPPORT FOR ROWALONG

I've been asked a few times about the best way to support what I'm doing. Honestly, the best way is just to watch and subscribe using this link:    / @rowalong  )
More views lead to more views and I'm really just interested in getting more people on board to RowAlong with. (Make sure to click the notification bell to be alerted when I upload new workouts)

That said, I know that there are some people who want to show their support financially, and as much as I've shied away from giving out links to this before I've been advised to at least provide the links to stop someone spoofing me!! So....

Patreon:   / rowalong  
PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_...

But seriously just keep watching, that's all I ask!!



This workout is provided as usual WITHOUT MUSIC. If you want music, why not load up another YouTube tab, or maybe Soundcloud and pick your own tunes. As always, follow me for stroke rate. And I'll keep you company for the row with training tips, technique tips, and my usual general waffle.
See you in the next video.

ℹℹℹℹℹℹ 2K training paces are based on your current best performance to row 2000m. Set your monitor to 2000m and row it as fast as you can. When you're finished either look at the memory screen for that row, and note the Average /500m pace or just divide your time by 4 to find that out.

For instance if you rowed your 2000m in 8:20 the average pace for 500m is 2:05. It doesn't matter if you started at 1:50 and then slowed down to 2:20 by the end your average across the whole row is 2:05.

So when I give a pace guide saying "2K + 18 seconds" that means that you take your 2K time, and add 18 seconds to it (in the above example, 2:05 + 18 = 2:23 pace.) Just be sure to set your monitor so it displays your /500m pace so you can stay on target.

Every time you think you're getting faster, rather than just arbitrarily changing the pace guide do another 2000m test to find your current 2K average time and then work from that. ℹℹℹℹℹℹ
