5000 Meter Row - Interval Style

Decided to do the 5000 meter row a little different today. Found a custom workout in the Concept II that breaks it up into 4 intervals, with a 3 minute rest between cycles. The distances are 2000/1500/1000/500. Snell, Harryman, Cooke, Barbosa, and White were the participants. Results are below:

Player 2000 M/1500 M/1000 M/500 M/Total 5000 M
---------------------------------------------------------------
Snell 8:57.1/ 6:41.4/ 4:26.7/ 1:59.7/ 22:04.9
Harryman 8:02.7/ 5:59.2/ 4:13.8/ 1:48.6/ 20:04.6
Cooke 7:38.0/ 5:42.0/ 3:51.5/ 1:44.6/ 18:56.1
Barbosa 8:38.8/ 6:26.5/ 4:18.4/ 2:02.0/ 21:36.7
White 7:09.5/ 5:21.9/ 3:33.9/ 1:43.3/ 17:48.7

Good workout, I suggest giving it a try. The 3 minute rest is very beneficial. Allows for some needed recovery. But that goes away as you get into the next cycle.

I did this workout to try and loosen up my legs after the 10K I ran this morning. It worked good. This is also a great workout. I started out slow and then with each interval I went I little harder.
