Heart Rate training zones, and suggested Erg workouts.

UT2: Endurance Training

The aim of UT2 training is to develop a sound aerobic base by continous exercise for a set time or distance.



Time Distance Stroke Rate Heart Rate/Effort
60-90 mins 15-25km 18-20 70-75%

UT1 Strength/Endurance Training

UT1 training aims are similar to those of UT2. The training is carried out at a higher intensity and is done for about the same total time, but done in intervals, such as 2 x 20mins.

Time Distance Stroke Rate Heart Rate/Effort
30-60mins 15-20km 20-24 75-85%

AT: High Intensity Training

AT training is the highes sustainabe training intensity that can be maintained before the build up of lactate acid seriously impacts upoun performance. Generaly carried out in 8 - 10min intervals.

Time Distance Stroke Rate Heart Rate/Effort
24-40mins around 15km 24-28 >90%
