5K Every Day - Episode 2: Music, Barbers & Flexing

Welcome back to your daily rowing companion! Episode 2 finds me with a bit of a cold but still committed to our morning 5K together - because that's what we do.

What to Expect This Episode: Fresh off a much-needed haircut (no more Wolverine look!), I'm back to "respectable John" as we row through another easy 21-minute session. Today's chat covers the bizarre world of Scottish barbers, a quick technique breakdown, and thoughts on why sometimes you just need to move without chasing numbers.

Today's Topics:

• The mystery of 15 barbers on one street (and why they all only take cash)
• My £20 haircut experience at Jazz Cuts
• How production music works in TV editing (spoiler: no Taylor Swift)
• Technique reminder: arms, tilt, knees - then push with your legs
• Why I'm doing this at 7am with a chest cold
• 
  

The Format Reminder: This is my actual morning 5K row, filmed as it happens. Zone 2 pace (around 18 strokes per minute), casual conversation, and absolutely no performance pressure. Just company for your morning workout.

Pro tip: Stay a day behind the uploads so there's always a fresh row waiting for you in the morning.

Perfect for: Easy recovery days, building consistent habits, or just having someone to chat with while you get your body moving.
