If your a RowPro user and you want to have a row let me know !! Would be good to have a training partner and someone that can share ideas with.

Two days back....
Two days back into the swing of things.....yesterday I had a 25 minute rowing session. Everything OK - a little slower than usual given the small break to the US last week. Only other problem I need to look into is pins and needles in my feet (mainly left foot) - tends to come on late into a session - I hear it could be to do with the way that I am sitting.
As a result I focused on a technique row tonight - 3000 meters - felt OK and thankfully no more tingle!
Rowing machine now over the 100,000 meters mark which is good - I see many on ebay with less meters for sale.....must keep on going !
Next purchase - heart rate monitor and interface - keep losing out on eBay, think I will opt out and go straight for the concept shop online.

Technique rows going to plan
This week I have following the training plan. First couple of weeks is focusing on technique. Have completed three sessions so far, all of 2000 meters. Now have a couple of rest days until Sunday when I carry out a 3000 meter technique row. Another week and then it starts getting more serious. Longer rows and interval training.
Total meters rowed to date is now > 80,000 meters.
In addition to the rowing I went to Badminton last night. Pleasantly surprised by fitness - not as bad as I had originally thought.

Onwards and Upwards
OK - so with crimbo over let the training begin.
One of my presents this year was a 12 month subscription to the Rowpro software, I have since setup a training plan and started to follow this closely. First few weeks cover technique which will help to improve on and build up a strong rowing action. A slow strokes per minute rate required (18-21) and short distance covered (2000 meters).
First few sessions have been enjoyable - trying out the software and rowing additions received for Christmas. The new seat pad has made for a more comfortable ride as have the rowing mitts.
After my technique row I decided to go for a quick 500 meter dash - completed in @ 1:47 pace which I was happy with. My aim to complete 1000 meters at this pace.
Hopefully my next post will have some details on the online rowing community which I'm looking to get involved in....watch this space.
