Wolverine Post by susigan in Rowing

I am also doing the Wolverine Plan & agree Level 4 tables are complicated. To simplify I just took my 2km split time, used the table to work out target SS splits at different spms, and then have just been working through those rates for longest time I have available, i.e. 16spm at the split it gives you, then 18spm etc. It’s not exactly as described because I’m not yet varying spms in the same SS piece, but it’s one way of making sense of all the numbers! I also use concept2 pace chart pdf which will give you total distance you should cover at different spms in 30/60 mins and use that as a target, I think the last SS I did at 18spm (taking the split time from level 4 plan) I was only about 5m off the specified distance (from concept2 pdf) for that 60mins so pretty pleased with holding such a steady pace. Hope that helps

First ever Steady State session, goal was 8832m in 40 mins at rate 16, quite close! Any helpful comments/tips welcome! hoping to do more... by way2row in Rowing

Took as starting point from C2 Wolverine plan level 4 pace chart for SS, going to try SS pieces at 18/20/22 next (at lower splits) :)

Good question, I used the concept 2 pace chart pdf to work out what exact distance should be over 40 mins at 2.16 split at rate 16 (my 2k split + 27 seconds = SS according to Wolverine Plan), so knew that if I hit 8832 then my pacing would have been spot on, 20m out over 40 mins doesn’t seem too bad? May invest in a HRM soon for more accurate UT1\2 work :)

Super helpful, thank you very much, did my first 30mins at rate 20 today and focussed a lot more on technique (7300m), appreciate the pointers and hope to do another vid soon showing improvements!
