Key weekly sessions

[joe.walton41]

Hi, I'm new to rowing and am wondering what are 3/4 key sessions (and examples) that I should do weekly.
I also run track (middle distance) so have to fit both sports around each other, and is why I'm limited to 3, 4 max
Cheers

Confusing, what are all the brackets? Is the first numner the total meters made up of what follows or do you do the meters then the imtervals?

Then there is reference to say 20 min, what is that?

Then how on earth can you know that in 24 weeks time the routine is suitable?

Excerpt from The 24 week ‘Pete Plan’:


"The 24 week training plan set out here is aimed at the beginner to intermediate indoor rower. The training plan is set out in a simple to follow format , with each week containing 3 core sessions, and for the keen trainer, 2 additional optional sessions. See the next section where this training plan is reproduced along with explanations for how to complete each session, and the key aims behind them."



Week 1 contains FIVE workouts:

Week 1:
5000m
6 x 500m / 2min rest 500m done six times 2 minutes rest between each 500
5000m
[20min]. row for 20 minutes
[2 x 10min / 2min rest]. as above but time rather than distance

Read the general intro and the week by week pacing recommendations/workout goals and decide for yourself.
