Today's workout looks intimidating and may seem like a daunting task. Looking at it as a whole, 5,000 meters seems like a lot, but try viewing it through a different lens: break the work into 500- to 1,000-meter chunks to make it manageable. Focus on keeping your split time (per 500-meter pace) consistent. Start with an easier pace, then speed up once you gain confidence, or hold one steady pace through the entire piece — both are great strategies. If you've done a 5,000-meter row before, use this as a chance to revisit that attempt and find where you can improve. Today is an opportunity to PR. Remember to sit up tall on the rower, breathe, and think positive thoughts.

Same as Rx'd.
