Rowing Endurance Option
Four sets for times of:
Row 1800 Meters
Rest 4 minutes

Your goal should be to maintain consistent pacing across the four sets – and ideally, holding the same pace/500m you held last week. Your perceived rate of exertion will increase each set, but your total time should stay consistent within a 5-second window. Pay attention to the your pace/500m splits to ensure consistency. If possible, wear a heart-rate monitor and track your heart rate at the conclusion of each interval, as well as at the end of your 4-minute rest. Please post these numbers to comments, and if we have a group of athletes using heart rate monitors we will start a discussion as to how to most effectively use this data.
