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.

Tired of rowing workouts that either bore you to death or completely destroy you? This one's different — it's designed to make you fitter AND actually enjoy the process.
Here's the thing about most rowing workouts: they either bore you to tears with steady-state, or they crush you with chaotic intervals. This one is different. It's a beautifully structured climb that teaches your body to adapt, recover, and find its flow.
***The workout***:
4 minute Warmup,
Straight into:
2 min @ 20spm
2 min @ 24spm
1 min @ 30spm
Do this 6 times.
2 minute Cooldown
🛫 Why this workout Works So Well:
Gradual intensity increases that boost your fitness without overwhelming you
Smart progression from easy to challenging that builds real endurance
Built-in recovery that teaches your body to bounce back faster
Pyramid structure that makes 36 minutes fly by (pun intended)
You'll finish feeling strong, not broken
Perfect for rowers who want to:
✅ Get significantly fitter with a structured approach
✅ Build serious endurance without burning out
✅ Actually enjoy their interval training
✅ Torch calories while having fun
✅ Feel stronger and more confident after every session
✅ See real improvement in their overall fitness
The magic happens in the pattern. As you climb the pyramid, your body learns to adapt. As you descend, it learns to recover while maintaining power. It's like flight training for rowers.
Here's what's brilliant about the pyramid approach: your body gets time to adapt as intensity rises, then learns to stay strong as it comes back down. You're not just surviving the workout — you're genuinely getting better at rowing and fitter overall.
🎯 Here's How Pacing Works in This RowAlong:
Instead of dictating your exact pace, I let you control your own intensity — which means this workout grows with you! We start with "Low Intensity" which becomes your foundation for the entire session.
This should feel like a 5/10 on the effort scale — think climbing stairs at a consistent pace. Your heart rate and breathing are up, but it doesn't feel hard yet.
For those using /500m splits: at 20spm, aim for around your 2K pace + 18-20 seconds as your foundation.
From this foundation, you'll ramp up intensity as the workout demands, then return to your 5/10 baseline when we ease back. The beauty? How you set that opening pace completely transforms the workout. Start conservative for endurance building, or push that foundation higher for a serious challenge.
This means you can row this same RowAlong workout multiple times and have completely different experiences just by adjusting where you start. It's like having multiple workouts in one!
Whether you're on Aviron, Concept2, Hydrow, or WaterRower, this workout delivers results you can feel.
Ready to discover why structured intervals are a game-changer? Let's make you fitter, stronger, and happier on the rower.
