Set your drag factor or resistance to where you want it for a 45 minute row, adjust your footstraps so they sit across the balls of your feet, grab a towel and a water bottle, and start the podcast by easing into a short warm-up.

Every Sunday I do a relaxed live, group row using the EXR app and livestream it to the RowAlong Live YouTube channel. It’s not about hitting targets or chasing PBs – just an easy session with my usual chat about rowing technique, training, food, the gear I’m using – whether it's the WaterRower, Concept2, or RP3 – and whatever else comes to mind.

These sessions are all about keeping each other company while getting a good long row in, with the occasional sprint whenever the EXR app throws one my way.

Every Wednesday, I’ll be uploading one of the past sessions as a RowAlong ReLive – right here, alongside the usual podcast content. So let’s get into the replay of this EXR group row – this one is from all the way back in February 2024 – I’m on the Concept2, and I talk about technique, naturally, but also how long slow rows help to really bed that good technique in, and then how I’d recently taken up Kayaking, so I could go back to basics and remember what it feels like to be rubbish at something!
