40 Minutes of Running @ 80-85% of your 5k pace

Focus on running mechanics with the goal of being as relaxed and efficient as possible. You should not feel like you’re struggling at any point to maintain pace, but rather should focus on sustaining your pace as effortlessly as possible.

6 minutes of Rowing @ 80-85% of 2k PR Pace
