10Km Rowing Plan


Due to the need to build up some good fitness to get through the distance, the 10000m plan is an 8 week plan.

The YouTube playlist for this plan is available here.

And if you use the ErgZone app, you’ll see that all of these sessions exist under the RowAlong (RA) track. Just search for RowAlong under the Discover tab – and you’ll see it. The first of the 10K plan is RA46. But they’re all tagged with the 10K label, so you should find them all.

As you go through the 8 weeks, you should notice there’s a progression in duration and intensity. This is all to get your fitness and speed developed over the period of this plan. Do try to stick as close as possible to the stroke rate and pace guides. They’re there for a reason! Remember – don’t push the slow stuff, push the fast stuff!

The format of the plan is 5 sessions a week, but don’t worry if you can’t squeeze in 5 sessions. Just do them in order. So if you only do 4 sessions a week, you’ll start week 2 with Week 1 Session 5. It’s important to still do all the sessions.

If any of the terminology or concepts are a bit confusing – or you don’t know why the plan is designed this way – check out the “Useful Info” links in the menu bar above.

The following descriptions are just brief headlines – click the “Week X Session X” links to check out the video and full info on YouTube, including the all important page / intensity guides.
