Steady State Rowing
Steady state rowing is easy aerobic erg volume at conversational effort, forming most weekly training time. Repeatable splits at stable heart rate mark good pacing.
Steady state rowing is conversational-pace erg work—often UT2 or UT1 effort—built in 30–90 minute pieces to expand aerobic base without crushing recovery. Splits should stay repeatable week to week; drifting splits at the same heart rate signal fatigue or poor technique.
Most weekly erg volume should be steady, not tests.
Common questions
-
How long should steady state rowing sessions be?
Many programs use 30–75 minutes depending on fitness, often 3–5 times weekly. Extend duration before adding intensity when aerobic base is the goal.
