Workout #10 in the Time to Sleigh series: Ten Minutes Halfing. Row up to a half marathon (21,097 meters) with a simple mental strategy - only think about the next 10 minutes. You don't have to do the whole thing - but row for longer that you have before. Break the distance into manageable chunks rather than being overwhelmed by the full effort ahead.

🎄 WHAT YOU'LL DO:

✅ If you want to row a half marathon, set your monitor to 21,097m

✅ Otherwise enter your preferred time / distance - or a 'Just Row'

✅ Start rowing at YOUR pace

✅ Watch the timer - track 10-minute blocks

✅ After each 10 minutes: reassess, sip water if needed, shake off, then commit to the next block

✅ Repeat until you hit your target (hopefully 21,097m)

There's no prescribed pace or stroke rate for this one. Row at whatever intensity feels right for YOU to complete your row. The key is the mental approach: don't think about the full distance ahead. Just focus on completing the next 10 minutes. Then the next. Then the next. Build enough 10-minute chunks and you'll complete the half marathon. This is about mental management as much as physical endurance.

⚠️ NOTE: You'll be rowing distance, so your monitor won't show time-based splits, but your timer will count up. Just mentally track each 10-minute block. My intention was to row for 90 minutes and then talk for 30, to make up 2 hours. But I ended up with such bad 'aftermath cramp' that I could only talk for 15 minutes. So, I took the original row up to 90 minutes, and then tagged on an old live row to make it to two hours. I hope that makes sense?

This is Workout 10 of 12. Warmup and cooldown separately. Ten minutes at a time!
