Today is another 21 minutes of low intensity rowing followed by a 4 minute cool down.
For me, these rows are my buy-in to the day.
I get on the machine, get my body moving, loosen everything up and then let the rowing gradually come together rather than forcing it from the first stroke.
And that becomes the main technique theme today too.
As the body warms up, I concentrate on getting into the same strong position at the front of every stroke, connecting my feet and hands together, and letting the sequence flow:
Legs → Body → Arms
The interesting thing is that the pace starts improving without me deliberately trying to row harder.
That’s the goal.
Rather than fighting for a number, get the positions right, connect the stroke and let good rowing do the work.
Then, as usual, my brain wanders off into Thursday nights in Glasgow, lottery-winning plans, DJing, meeting Julie and rather a lot more besides.
So come row with me, get some useful fitness into the bank, work on your stroke and find your flow.
