I'm going to take a day off training, Get Fit To Row has got me fit to row, but I think I just need a little rest for a day, to feel good about life!

Also, I've been doing some work on the GFTR idea and the website. 

The Get Fit To Games - yes it's maybe a thing! Let's see what happens.

The website www.getfittorow.com is looking sweet, built-in 3 days, now taking a few weeks to optimise it.

It's never just about rowing, I can tell you think. I like to keep busy, and a trip is planned to Majorca end of the month, which means I'm changing some of the daily workouts to Get Fit To Cycle!

Well, the exciting news is I have a website now for Get Fit To Row - www.getfittorow.com i have also just had a meeting with a few very good people that might help me build a boat club, help expand Get Fit To Row and also help with some promotional events. Could be a great thing for the local area schools......

Every idea has a story, well if learning to row was not an easy enough idea to run in 2012 on The Thames, Get fit To Row was going to be easier.

I often think how do I make getting fit for the people I train more focused?

Let’s start at the beginning.

If there is one thing we all know about Getting Fit to Row it's this, once you are fit to row you want to row. It’s as simple as that.

We'll we might have some space on some water in Knaresborough to run Learn to row session... how brilliant is that.

There are around 700m of rowable water, it’s flat, a steady stream and almost perfect learn to row conditions.

Yes you can if you make sure you have put all the effort into finishing correctly, you have to go all the way, with maximum focus.

I like to think that the question of breathing during a rowing stroke, which weirdly I get asked about by almost everyone I train, but never have been asked from rowing crew is almost as important as does the rowing stroke have a pause in it.

Simple answer, yes it does, the harder part is developing the skills to introduce it.

At the end of a Get Fit To Row session, the athlete I was working with asked me where it was all heading, I said "where do you want to go?"

One of the aspects of being a PT and rowing coach is trying to understand what the real goal is, getting fit is a lifelong pursuit and not always the best place to start a discussion, but learning to understand how people want to change their lives often points to a real reason to get fit to row.

Well, when the opportunities of giving your son advice, esp when he is a strong-minded, 14-year-old, 6ft, teenager, you have to think carefully about what you say.

If I was to go rowing again, I'd like it to be local, so I did just that and when for a row at my local pleasure boat river in Knaresborough, it went ok.
