Conditioning – Test

  • 2K row for time

*This is a really tough test. Start slower than what you think you can manage and speed up later on. Most of you will be on the rower for 8-10 min so this might help you pace a bit. We want to avoid starting out too hot and then declining to snail pace. To get the exact time, set the rower to a 2K distance target.

Thursday 6 February

Warming Up

  • 3 x 300 m machine*

Increase speed every 100 m

  • 2 K Row for time

*This is a really tough test. Start slower than what you think you can manage and speed up later on. Most of you will be on the rower for 8-10 min so this might help you pace a bit. We want to avoid starting out too hot and then declining to snail pace. To get the exact time, set the rower to a 2K distance target.

3 x 12 min

  • Round 1 – 2 K row for time
  • Round 2 – Rest or Circuit
  • Round 3 – Rest or Circuit

12 min AMRAP at leisurely pace if you are rowing after:

  • 400 m Easy jog
  • 20 Push Ups
  • 400 m Ski
  • 60″ Plank Hold
  • 50 DU/100 SU
  • 20 Tricep Dips

*Divide the group in teams of 3-4 athletes. One group starts on the 2K test, the other 2 rest or Complete a circuit.

If you’ve done this already complete the following training:

For time with a partner:

  • 2K in 200 m intervals on the rower in w:r ratio 1:1

Rest 5 min

  • 2K in 200 m intervals on the ski-erg in w:r ratio 1:1

Rest 5 min, then repeat for both machines

*Work in pairs with someone about the same fitness as you are. This is important to ensure each partner has about the same work and rest time. P1 starts with the first 200 m intervals while P2 rests. P2 then completes 200 m while P1 rests until they’ve accumulated 2K in total. So each partner does 5 sets. 5 min rest, then repeat for the ski erg. To account for spillover calories (and to ensure each buddy does exactly 200 m per set) set the rower to 200 m intervals with undefined rest.

If more machines are needed for the test, you can also use the C2 bikes, work with 400 m intervals in that case and 4K total distance.

*Keep an eye on your pace and s/m. Try to keep these metrics as constant as possible. Hold a high, but sustainable pace.
