I have this thinking that training is best shared in 2-week plans, that have a key focus around 5 days and have 2 supplementary days training. I think this allows for a simple focus, a natural focus which is manageable.

I wanted to share a simple way to manage progress especially when the voice of doubt creeps in and starts to tell you that you "can't do" what you're trying to do. It's all about giving fruit, and in my case it's bananas!

I think a training plan for rowing the Atlantic is kinda like planning for Christmas. Everyone asks for just what they want, you have to go and find it, you then give it, hoping it's both surprise and just what they want.... but you won't know until the day if you've got it right.

Sometimes it's ok to just do enough, to just stay ahead. from time to time that's worth reminding ourselves of.

I get the feeling it's this time of year that coaches back in the day would have dropped in a little 2k test. I would have done them fueled by bananas, and I'd also have a very specific warm-up, which I still do today. Oh, I'll be doing a 2k challenge and test today, why? Because I can!

A good mate once said, look after your nice things, and your nice things will look after you. What he also taught me was when you find something that works, don't give it to anyone else to use!

Pause, it's episode 50 of Get Fit To Row and I want to talk about the pause in the rowing stroke. You asked is there one, should there be one and if there is where should you put it.

Last night I was struggling to connect the big muscles to the big muscles and it all felt like I was just trying too hard. But I coached my self to make the change, it all came good.

Can getting fit be seen as just a process, you learn the process and you get fitter? But at what point of learning do you and the process become one?

I know, I know, I know. I need a new pair of trainers, but like old friends I just can't seem to say goodbye!
