Pre Class: 1) Row – 5 rounds: 500m @ 2K Pace 1000m @ 115% of 2K Pace No rest between rounds. For pacing don’t make this more complicated than it needs to be. There will be lots of percentage based pacing over the coming months. For rowing, since we are working with time, improvement means a decrease in time, where as improvement in a squat for instance means an increase in load, apply the percentages the same way. If you’re asked to go faster than a 2K pace for example it will say a number like 97% as this is faster, it is less time. So for someone who rows a 2:00/500m average for there 2K, today’s piece for instance is 500m @ 2:00/ave, directly into 1000m @ 2:18/ave, and then repeat for 4 more rounds. This is a total of 7500m. WOD: 2) Back Squat: @ 0:00 –…

Aerobic Restoration 25-40 minutes of one of the following performed at 60-70% effort – easy, restorative pace: * Swim (this is my first choice, and if you have an ocean, even better) * Row (focus on mechanics, smooth and efficient with a very low stroke per minute pace) * AirDyne (keep the pace conversational and relaxed) * Cycling (get outdoors and enjoy the scenery as you ride) * Hike (nothing crazy here, find a nice easy slope and go for a walk outdoors) NOTE ABOUT ACTIVE RECOVERY – The activity selected must be restorative for you. It can also be an opportunity to work on a skill (like swimming or rowing), but the effort expended should leave you feeling energized…
