Make it Fun.

Fun erg workouts. (Yes, I did just use fun and erg in the same sentence.)

When people at Crossfit are impressed by your erg scores

Just received this from one of my friends on the National Team. The goal is to work at/above your lactate threshold - squeezing every inch out of every single stroke.

2’ @ 24 spm

2’ @ 26 spm

1’ @ 28 spm

1’ @ 30 spm

20 strokes @ 32 spm

10 strokes @ 34 spm

3’ @ 24 spm <— no slacking on this last one!

Repeat three times - 5’ between sets

Written out for the erg (rowing machine), but can easily be adapted to the bike, treadmill, or elliptical. If you decide to switch it up, keep in mind that these rates are low but challenging … Choose an incline/tension that will make you sweat!

Bonding with your teammates during training

So this happened…. wow.

Lightweight (seriously) Henrik Stephansen broke his own 60min LWT record yesterday witha stunning 18,291m @ 1:38.4/500m.

As somebody who has rowed a fair number of 60min pieces and has never even sniffed at the 1:40s, much less the 1:30s, I am in absolutely awe of this. And at a relatively reserved SR for a LWT. (31) Would have loved to see his HR to see how much of an effort this was for him.

This is how you have to keep it in your head.

A HIIT-ish workout … Try to find that place right between anaerobic and aerobic exercise. Nice long breaks - so don’t be afraid to push it!
