Today’s workout is a moderate time-domain endurance-based effort. Push the pace where you can. As the meters decrease in both the run and ski, try to keep the throttle down. If you are looking for a place to breathe, consider easing up on the ski erg. Barring technique on the ski erg, it can take a considerable effort to row 5 to 10 seconds faster. Instead, in theory, you can make up that time on the run.

Count your stroke-to-recovery-stroke ratio. To recover and catch your breath while still moving on the ski erg, consider a 1-second pull followed by a 3- to 4-second return to the catch position. If you feel good and are looking to push, consider a 1-second pull followed by a 1- to 2-second return to the catch position. This strategy will help you manage your pace based on how you’re feeling during the workout.
