Welcome to the Ergo Recovery Session, a crucial component of any well-rounded training program. This session is designed to complement our challenging pyramid training and standard interval workouts, focusing on active recovery to enhance your overall performance and prevent burnout.
The Ergo Recovery Session is all about maintaining movement while allowing your body to recuperate. It’s the perfect way to keep your muscles engaged without overexertion, promoting blood flow and reducing the risk of stiffness or soreness from intense workouts. Its perfect after a heavy race weekend or a training block when you might be feeling a little “heavy”.
Remember, recovery is just as crucial as high-intensity training. This session helps flush out lactic acid, reduces muscle soreness, and prepares your body for the next challenging workout. It’s also an excellent opportunity to practice mindfulness and focusing on your breathing.
The last set in the session is a bit of a pushup and will challenge you a little, so if feeling overly fatigued then maybe consider not doing the final step up, but if you do it, you will feel the benefit, even if a tad stiff.
Incorporating this Ergo Recovery Session into your routine, especially after intense workouts like our pyramid training or standard interval sessions, will contribute significantly to your overall rowing performance and fitness level. It’s an investment in your long-term progress and helps prevent overtraining syndrome.
Listen to your body during this session. If you feel the need to decrease the intensity further, don’t hesitate to do so. The goal is to finish feeling refreshed and ready for your next training session, not exhausted.
As always, we’re here to support your rowing journey. If you have any questions about implementing this recovery session or need advice on balancing it with your other workouts, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Happy training, and remember – recovery is where the magic happens!
Dont cheat by going harder at the start, it will catchup with you, like all the sessions, focuses on consistent improvement.
As with the other session I have added the spreadsheet for the Treadmill Recovery Session, below, for those who want to do something different. It’s a good idea to set your incline at 1%, which helps emulate the outdoor environment.
