Six rowing training zones showing recovery, aerobic, tempo, threshold, VO2 max and race pace training for improving 2K rowing performance.

This infographic illustrates the six key training zones used to improve indoor rowing performance and 2K rowing times. Each zone develops a specific physiological adaptation, from aerobic endurance and recovery through to threshold fitness, VO₂ max development and race-specific preparation. Successful rowing programmes use these zones within a periodised training plan tailored to the athlete’s individual strengths, weaknesses and performance goals.
