The session
Run 1K at your target race pace, move directly to the RowErg with minimal transition time, then row the target distance at a sustainable split (race: 1000 m).
In the race
In the race the row is 1,000 m, the fifth station.
Pacing
Run the 1 km at the pace you plan to hold for all eight runs, not your fresh 1 km pace. You should reach the station breathing hard but in control, and leave it able to run again.
Where people go wrong
Running the 1K too hot and dying at the station, slow transitions, or letting station technique fall apart under run fatigue.
Easier or harder
- Easier: row 500 m pieces with a minute's rest.
- Harder: hold race pace for the full 1,000 m and run straight out afterwards.
Staying safe
Scale the station load or distance before sacrificing movement quality. Keep transitions brisk but controlled.
