I spent my time doing endless drills to correct an early backswing habit I discovered recently after doing a video of my form. Rrrrrr Not happy. Good that you’re trying to catch it now. I’ve noticed I’ve developed a weird wobble of my shoulders at the catch. If it’s not one thing, it’s another!!

Today was a non rowing day for me. 600m Run / 500m SkiErg 600m Run / 50m Burpees 600m Run / 75m lunges (with 20kg bag) 600m Run / 200m Farmer Carry (24kg kettlebells) 600m Run / 100 WallBalls (6kg, done as 50+50) 600m Run. And I'm about to go and do "Push Weights" and core work. Someone re...

I don't often venture into top tier territory but I decided to have a go at the 45 seconds to 2 minutes 15 seconds ladder (No 1 on the top tier YouTube playlist). Well that blew out some cobwebs. Happy with the results. My notional 2k pace is 2:00 so I was pleased to see 1:5x throughout and closer ...

Great result. It’s a really good session. The two toughest parts are allowing 5 minutes rest; and then the final interval!!

My plans for today - including whether I did it or not!!

1) 30 minute walk on treadmill while learning Spanish = DONE
2) 4 x 10 minute Low intensity Row (filming for RowAlong)
3) Weights (Legs today)
4) Kayak training (Rescue session)

And around 9 hours of work...

Brilliant idea but can I suggest a modification? Instead of a separate board with individual threads for our workouts, how about a single ongoing thread: "What did you do today?" or suchlike. Hopefully this would encourage us to reply to and compliment on others' workouts before posting o...

Are you using the Concept2 readout for your 900Kcal amount? It can be a little off. That said, you're probably still going to be around 800 per hour. If you exercise, you're going to use energy. There's no real way around this. The best thing you can do is to fuel your body properly. Everyone's &quo...
