SkiErg Training of the day

Post by drbnc » November 8th, 2022, 5:34 pm

Hi. As a new member with a week old skierg would like to ask for some help from the skierg users. What is your daily training? I do this for nordic skiing. I do now trainings offered from PM5: 2000-1500-1000-500 m training with 3m rests.
Any suggestions to get into some real training?
Thanks

I'm doing the Beginner's Pete Plan (BPP). I'm on BPP, week 8, day 2
4x1500 3r was today

I did this plan when I first got my rower and loved it. There's a thread where people post workouts from the BPP too (link below).

Hi,

As mentioned above the BPP is a good starter plan and can be done on row or ski.

Personally I am self planning and do a number of different sessions depending on what I want to improve.

8x400m/2'R (2k pace or better)
8x250m/90"R (1k pace or better)
6x3'/2'R (5k pace or better)
8x5'/2'R (10k pace or better)
4x15'/3'R (60' pace or better)

I repeat weekly depending on what distance I am targetting and can monitor improvements (hopefully)

I also mix in some low pressure sessions at 75% MHR such at 10k, 30' etc

Should also add that I am rowing also so mix up sessions between the two ergs.

I am no expert so pinch of salt required.
