3) MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS
We encourage you to record your workouts in a log. At
a minimum, you should record your periodic test pieces
in order to monitor your progress toward your goals. A
sample Test Results Log is provided on page 27. You may
also wish to keep a monthly summary of workouts such
as the one provided on page 26. This type of log helps
give you an overview of the workouts you have been
doing. It’s also a good place to record your total meters
rowed in case you ever want to join the Concept2 Million
Meter Club. Finally, the most detailed log option is a daily
log page which allows you to record a maximum of infor-
mation about each of your workout sessions. We have
included an example on page 25. Please feel free to make
as many copies of these pages as you wish. You can also
request a free logbook from Concept2
4) EVALUATE AND ADJUST PROGRAM IF
NECESSARY
If you are not making progress toward your goals, you may
need to modify your program. It may be helpful to discuss
your training with a coach or fellow athlete. If you are tired
and your performance is getting worse, you may actually
be training too hard.
NOTE: Additional rowing information is available at www.
concept2.com, as well as in our free Training Guide pro-
vided with your Indoor Rower.
R = easy, restful rowing
C = conversational intensity (able to carry
on a conversation comfortably)
M = moderate intensity (barely able to carry
on a conversation)
H = high intensity
RP = 2000m race pace
RPF(3–4sec) = 3 to 4 seconds faster than
race pace
RPS(5–7sec) = 5 to 7 seconds slower than
race pace
KEY:
m = meters
min = minutes
sec = seconds
spm = strokes per minute
x = times (example: 3x
500m means 3 repeti-
tions of 500 meters
or row 500 meters 3
times)
