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.
