What's Topical?RowFit Ltd's Topical Rowing/Coaching Blog

Numerous times each season rightly and wrongly I get ask similar questions about the sessions I have set on the program. Interestingly, there is rarely a question of the “validity” of the session set but more, how the session should be conducted or why perhaps they struggled with the session. The below question is a real-life example. My hope is that by explaining my theory and thought behind the session rational athletes and coaches will hopefully have a better perspective of the program design and how to approach sessions. The purpose is NOT to ridicule the idea of asking the question and certainly not this question. Asking questions is a very health process and should be embraced at all costs. Session in question: 2 x 5000m Intervals Distance 2x5k/5:00r 2 x 5km @ 24spm Target HR 75-85% Max. 5' rest between pieces. (this is exactly how it was written in the program)
