A friendly voice in your ear to motivate, coach and entertain you through each Indoor Rowing workout as we RowAlong together.
I set the stroke rate and the training pace based on your current 2000m time. Just set your monitor to Just Row – and start and stop when I tell you. For more info and to check out the YouTube videos - go to rowalong.com
Each show is a different Indoor Rowing workout which I row - and you RowAlong with me. I row on a Concept2 rowing machine - but you can use whatever you have. And I keep you company through the session, talking to you about technique considerations, training tips, what I'm having for dinner and other off topic moments, all designed to keep you motivated and distracted while you work through your session. In the end, we'll both be Fitter Faster Stronger.
This is the audio taken from the YouTube videos on the RowAlong YouTube channel - but it still works. There may be a couple of times when I show the wrong technique, which won't translate through audio that well of course, but 99% of it will be fine. The Concept 2 rowing machine makes a very recognisable Wooooosh noise with every stroke. So use that, and your monitor display to keep track of your stroke rate as you RowAlong with me. All workouts can be performed as stand-alone workouts. But do check out how they're often grouped into training plans.

    RowBeats - Episode 2 - Get Sweating with 15 Min Indoor Rowing Follow Along

    RowBeats - Episode 2 - Get Sweating with 15 Min Indoor Rowing Follow Along

    RowBeats is back with another high-energy indoor rowing session fueled by motivating beats. Put those headphones on and get ready to feel the burn!
    For 15 sweat-dripping minutes, you'll experience intervals that take you from moderate warm-up strokes to max effort sprints and everything in between - all synced to energizing music.
    Different to my usual RowAlong workouts, as there's no excessive talking, just a streamlined workout focused on rowing hard to the rhythms.
    The format is simple - quick audio cues to shift intensities with stroke rate and workout details on screen. Want to listen to your own tunes? Just hit mute and follow the visual instructions while your playlist pounds in your ears.
    Whether you're on a Concept2, WaterRower, RP3, Aviron or Peloton rower, in fact, ANY Rowing machine - be prepared to get swept up in the RowBeats groove for an intense full-body cardio challenge.
    Smash your goals by letting the beats propel you through this efficient and effective sweat sesh. It's time for RowBeats to make you move!
    ⁉ Don't worry - I'm not changing the core of what I do with RowAlong - My aim is to try to help everyone enjoying indoor rowing. And I know from some comments and requests of the years that there is a section of rowers who want this kind of workout, so I'm giving it to them too. (This is why I've "Branded" it RowBeats, so it stands out from the usual RowAlongs). ⁉

    RowBeats - Episode 1 - 15 Min High Energy Indoor Rowing Blast 🚣‍♀️🔥

    This isn't your normal RowAlong Workout video! Get ready for a high energy, music-driven 15 minute indoor rowing workout with the launch of the new RowBeats series.
    Put on your headphones, grab your indoor rower and let's RowAlong to RowBeats. Get swept up in the beat as I crank up the tunes and stroke rates on your rowing machine at home or in the gym.
    👕 As the shirt says: Less Talking, More Rowing. Let's get RowBeats started! 👕
    This workout kicks off with a 5 minute warmup, then dives into 10 minutes of low, moderate and high intensity intervals, sprint sections and stroke rate changes - all fueled by an energising soundtrack.
    🎶 Not the usual RowAlong where I talk non-stop, this just has shout outs for intensity changes, and the odd "Push with your Legs" technique cue to keep the rowing action banging to the rhythms! And, in case you're not interested in the Euro Houe Beats, I put all of the rate/intesnity info on screen, so you can just hit mute and listen to whatever you want. 🎶
    ⁉ Don't worry - I'm not changing the core of what I do with RowAlong - My aim is to try to help everyone enjoying indoor rowing. And I know from some comments and requests of the years that there is a section of rowers who want this kind of workout, so I'm giving it to them too.

    But seriously - just keep watching, that's all I ask!!
    ℹℹℹℹℹℹ - 2K training paces are based on your current best performance to row 2000m. Set your monitor to 2000m and row it as fast as you can. When you're finished either look at the memory screen for that row, and note the Average /500m pace - or just divide your time by 4 to find that out.
    For instance - if you rowed your 2000m in 8.20 - the average pace for 500m is 2:05. It doesn't matter if you started at 1.50 and then slowed down to 2.20 by the end - your average across the whole row is 2.05.
    So when I give a pace guide saying "2K + 18 seconds" - that means that you take your 2K time, and add 18 seconds to it (in the above example, 2.05 + 18 = 2.23 pace.) Just be sure to set your monitor so it displays your /500m pace so you can stay on target.
    Every time you think you're getting faster, rather than just arbitrarily changing the pace guide - do another 2000m test to find your current 2K average time - and then work from that. ℹℹℹℹℹℹ

    Zero to Hero Rowing Workout Plan: Row 35 = TABATA x 3 Sprint Workout

    Zero to Hero Rowing Workout Plan: Row 35 = TABATA x 3 Sprint Workout

    It's back! Row at a Sprint for 20 seconds, rest for 10 - 8 times. Rest for 2 minutes. Do it two more times!
    This is your last chance for speed in the Zero to Hero Rowing Series - so make sure to hit this one hard and fast. Those 10 second rests aren't massive, but they'll recharge you enough to start the next 20 second interval at a high rate and pace, even if you do fade over the course of those 20 seconds.
    🌟 If you haven't watched my introduction to the Zero to Hero RowAlong plan, check it out here: https://youtu.be/ZTWfRP-2d0U 🌟
    🚣 Row 35 = TABATA TABATA TABATA🚣
    WARMUP: 10 minutes
    WORKOUT: 20 sec max, 10 sec rest x 8 - Then 2 mins rest - then two it two more times
    PACE GUIDE: MAX
    EFFORT/RPE: 10/10
    SPEECH: I couldn't even tell you my name
    ⁉ Don't be alarmed that I'm not on a Concept2. The machine may be different, but the workout design remains the same. Row along with me on your machine, and follow my guidance for stroke rate and intensity. ⁉
    ‼ 2K Pace Info ‼
    If you're unfamiliar with 2K pacing guides:
    1 Row a 2000m time trial as fast as you can (if you're healthy enough to do so).
    2 Divide the final time by 4 to get your average time to row 500m, which is your 2K pace.
    3 For example, if you rowed 2000m in 8:24, your 2K training pace is 2:06.
    4 Adjust based on guidance (e.g., 2K+18 means go 18 seconds slower).

Who knows why I like to listen to this even when I’m not rowing

This reminds me about good form, provides specific benchmarks to hit in terms of stroke rate and customized splits, and helps the time go by during a tough and effective workout. But after awhile you get hooked on John himself. He’s such a kind person. His going on about rowing can be a comfort on difficult days. He also gives good life lesson reminders and explains why the old truisms are important. Don’t compare yourself with others, etc. I love this podcast and it’s made me a better erg-er!

SKM*1971 ,

So fun!

I love the show’s inherent quirkiness. The entertainment value complements, doesn’t retract from, the intensity of the workouts. I especially appreciate the reminders to keep good form, something I desperately need when I get fatigued.

Great workouts

For fun, instructive, and goofy, good humored fitness instruction, this podcast is for you. For all levels, from beginner to experienced towers, John strikes perfect tone with smart training tips and workouts.
