  • The YouTube Videos have NO MUSIC – so you can load up another YouTube page, or Soundcloud or your music app and listen to your own tunes while you RowAlong

  • Podcasts HAVE music – pretty low level, but just enough to give you a bit of background

  • Coaching and Technique Tips throughout the workout will keep you focused and help keep you going through the sessions.

  • Non-Alpha – I’m not a bare-chested alpha-male type coach. I’ll just talk you through the sessions, the technique, what dinner I’m having that night – all to make it feel like I’m just sitting there next to you. A friend to RowAlong with.

Always free. Although these videos appear on apps like Aviron, Kinomap and Ergzone where you may need to pay a subscription – the YouTube and Podcast versions will always be free.

WHAT YOU NEED TO ROWALONG WITH ME

01

A Rowing Machine - and Time!

Any kind of rowing machine will do, as long as it gives you an idea of your speed (500m pace is preferred). You also need time to do the workouts!

02

Something to play the videos

A phone or tablet right in front of you is best. A TV in front of you works too. If it's to the side, try not to strain your neck looking at it!

03

A Healthy Body

It's important that YOU know your body is ok to row - especially as some of the workouts are maximum intensity. Always keep a water bottle next to you.

Just when I thought yesterday's was my favorite, I discovere this RowAlong! Rowed this as S5 in week 5 of GFbR... perfect perfect perfect. I will post my charts on Facebook, but looking at my heart rate, the plan is totally working. So cool to see the results! #carrotsaysmoo<

Thank you very much for that workshop. I very like this style you did<

Wow, I have a new favorite session! You aren't wrong about needing to budget the time as it is a long one...but holy wow did it feel good! I finished round about 1/4 marathon distance...wondered if this type of session would help a half time or hurt? Perhaps one of these days I will find out? Ha.<

Thank you for this video and your advice. I just ordered the machine and this is the best video I have seen that shows me technique which is evidently paramount when it come to rowing.<

author

Thanks again John. I’ve been following your plans for a couple of years( 2 k and 5 k) ,with various rowing club specific workouts thrown in here and there. For a while I’ve been prevaricating about doing another 2 k test and just guessing ( seemed to put me in the right ball park 😬) but, doing the time trial along with you made it so much more doable. And I got a PB. The whole thing was much more controlled and the time ( and distance ) flew by. Nibbling away at my PBS 😬<

author

Great video John, like many others I used it to complete my first half marathon. No doubt will use it again to improve my time. Thank you again for your excellent work.<

Loved this, great fun and a great workout.<
