160: Invisible super-powered movements 9:00

3y ago9:00

9:00

There is one movement in rowing that’s super powerful, it’s easy to see, but few would know how much power it’s generating, it’s in the body swing. I’ve always thought that the power of a rowing stroke comes from linking the core muscles to everything else. Remembering that you push before you pull, what connects those two movements is the invisibl…

159: World class consistency 5:59

3y ago5:59

5:59

If world basic basics is a personal thing, world-class consistency is something others can value. I’ve been thinking about the difference between basics and constancy, I think the former is something to focus on as an individual and the latter something that others observe more so. Can you do one without the other? Which comes first? Here’s today’s…

158: Hydrow rowing machine made me simile 5:26

3y ago5:26

5:26

I always preferred rowing with a crew. Here’s the thing when I was rowing at Auriol Kensington Rowing Club I learnt that crew boats were my thing and I enjoyed a quad more than anything, a quad is 4 scullers. You can learn to row on a rowing machine or in a single scull but I think the most fun is to be had when you row with other people. So here’s…

157: Float like a butterfly..... world-class basics 8:54

3y ago8:54

8:54

I think and what I have learnt over the years is what people say and what people do can often be very very different. When it comes to high performance, goal setting or just doing something better than others, sometimes you don’t want to share how you’re doing it or you might not realise just how good you are. Are you curious enough about your perf…

156: My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow 5:33

3y ago5:33

5:33

I've got that winter feeling, a January feeling, one that's very familiar. For a few years, I spent some time at Quintin Boat Club on the Thames by Chiswick bridge. The club had an open fire, we would recover after a session by it. This poem that I heard today reminded me of the feelings of January. January by Henry Wadsworth Janus am I; oldest of …

155: Power, and hand speed 11:32

3y ago11:32

11:32

Do you go faster because you slide faster, or is it the hand speed, or is it more a leg thing… Eric Murray knows 💪 I listened and watched a series of coached sessions with Eric Murray, a multi times winning Olympian. When you listen closely to world-class athletes, leaders, entrepreneurs and business people it’s often what they don’t say or share t…

151: The playbook 8:27

3y ago8:27

8:27

You can’t get to greatness without some help. Fact. You’ll need to believe in a coach, a coach who believes in you, a coach that has your goals and performance in mind. The Playbook series on netflix’s shares a few moments of insight that could change how you think about getting fit in 2022. Here’s today’s podcast: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-f…

150: Catch 22 3:53

3y ago3:53

3:53

Yes, it’s the start of 2022, and the start of the rowing stroke is called the catch so it seems rather fitting to be writing and sharing today’s podcast called "{catch 22}. Get the catch right and the rest can be worked on. But here’s the other catch 22, if you’re not fit, and you don’t think you have time to get fit, you’ll never get fit. But if y…

148: Get Fit in 2022 3:30

3y ago3:30

3:30

It’s that funny time between Christmas and New Year, a time when we get a chance to reflect on the year that’s past, a chance to look at where you are, a chance to think about who we might want to be in the new year ahead. I think getting fit is not just about the physical aspect of “doing it” but also the mental health aspect of “doing it”, gettin…

147: Weak but focused 9:04

3y ago9:04

9:04

Yes, the leg is better, but I’ve lost strength. Here’s the thing, and it’s something worth sharing but keeping fit, and getting fit once your past 30 is a must in my experience. As you all know having strained my hamstring whilst playing 5 a side football I’ve been out of action for just over 3 weeks. The fitness seems the same now I’m back in the …

145: Complete rowing 7:19

3y ago7:19

7:19

I know it sounds too simple, but, once you’ve got fit to row, the next step is learning to row. But, at this point of writing this blog and preparing for today’s podcast I don’t yet have a place or a boat to coach people to learn to row, but I’m giving it some serious thought. If learning to row is something you might be interested in perhaps you c…

143: A visit to the pyramids 11:02

3y ago11:02

11:02

The most obvious thing about a visit to the pyramids is, if you go up you have to come down. I understand from reading around the subject that the pyramids of Giza took 20 years to build and needed the manpower of over 100,000 men. That’s a lot of men doing pyramids! But that’s a side note to the real event today. Today a Saturday session the guys …

142: One last dance 10:08

3y ago10:08

10:08

One thing that you have to do in rowing when it comes to crew boats (and the bigger the crew the harder it is) you have to “think and move as a team”. From a training perspective, a lot of your time will be spent as an individual. Moving from individual focus to a team focus is a process. I often get reminded of the process when I jump into a scrat…

141: World class basics 8:54

3y ago8:54

8:54

I think to be the best you, you need to work out how to be world-class at something basic. Or in other words, how do you work towards world-class basics? For as much as it sounds simple, it's not, there is a lot that will get in the way, a lot that will limit your effort. But everyone can be world-class at something, you just have to start working …

140: Get fit, simple 12:04

12:04

If I said to you “would you like to get fit” what would your answer be? I guess I ask this as I think most of us would say yes, but for some of us we wouldn’t have even given the idea a thought ever. Ever, does that mean you don’t need to or don’t want to get fit? If we don’t want to do something is that the case because perhaps we’re not in contro…

139: Fast hand moves! Feet up thinking day 3 8:02

3y ago8:02

8:02

I wanted to dig into a movement I’ve talked about before, hands speed. Or maybe I want to highlight what you should do with your hands on the rowing machine or in a rowing boat. You see the hand movement needs to be fast, not slow, and it needs to happen before you move off back stops. Here’s today’s podcast: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-…

The good news is the leg is on the mend. If the 9,611 steps I’ve taken today are anything to go by I’m hoping to be back in action, be it careful early next week, at the latest. So, whilst I’ve been taking time off from training, the Get Fit To Coaching is still carrying on unaffected. Now, I’ve been giving some thought to “who” if “anyone” would I…

3y ago6:56

6:56

Lets say I made a school boy error, i thought I’d go and do some cross training and thought I’d except an invite to play 5 aside football.That was a silly idea.I pulled a hamstring. Luckily not to bad, I think I know exactly the movement that caused it, it was a powerful twist and turn to change direction.Made me think, how good is it the idea to m…

136: Ahead takes time 8:51

3y ago8:51

8:51

Do you ever find yourself asking the question, how do I get ahead?In fitness terms this is very hard to do so, feel ahead that is, unless you have a goal.And, that goal need not be a big goal, but it’s best if it’s measurable.I watched my son play rugby today, they had a clear goal, to win, but that wasn’t their only goal.To win they needed a close…

9:40

So, that’s the Saturday sessions done. During todays sessions which were hard effort, threshold training, I was chatting about not giving in to the desire to stop. It reminded me of a head race where our crew was absolutely flying, the effort going down was huge, and it was relentless, so much so that I knew at the half way point that I wanted to j…

134: Staying in the game 6:35

3y ago6:35

6:35

Ok, let’s be honest from time to time getting fit is going to be hard work. But you have to stay in the game to win right? If there is one thing that I’ve seen time and time again it’s that constancy pays off.

Before you do a training session you think about what you’re going to do. Before you take part in a race of any description you’ll think about the outcome. You think. You talk to yourself. Sometimes you know exactly what the plan is, what the race will be like and what the outcome will be, but sometimes you won’t. When you doubt how things are goin…

132: Why we row 8:40

3y ago8:40

8:40

Why we row? It’s a question I often think about. Why I row is simple, it’s good for my mind, my body and my mental health. I think when I row, whether that be indoor on a rowing machine or on the water, it settles me. It does this through the effort I need to put in to not only manage my body movements but it’s all about me “teaching” myself. I get…

I needed to be well prepared for anything that could happen or be asked…

130: L3, L4, L5 and that blister 7:06

3y ago7:06

Here’s the thing, when I do long rowing machine sessions, I am quite often reminded that my hamstrings are short and need a stretch, and I should know better. There are two ways I often get to know that they are, and both are uncompromisingly bloody obvious very quickly in the session. One way is I get a small friction blister on my bum cheek by my…

Here’s the thing, I keep talking about the 8 x 500m session like it's my brand new toy. I love it. In podcast 110 I talked about self-belief being a superpower, it’s a superpower everyone can have. But what I’m learning is most people I train need to be introduced to the idea of a superpower being inside them, then learning to find that superpower …

You see I felt really weak. I couldn’t do my normal training, and I seemed to find it hard to have the motivation to do anything much. I realised I needed a rest. …

If you’re yet to discover the joy of knowing what your heart rate training zones are then don’t worry you’re probably in good company. Most people I train or coach through Get Fit To Row have never known the value and benefits of heart rate training. Yesterday I when down to my local gym to do a short training session, I needed to get out of the ho…

125: Resting heart rate 12:23

3y ago12:23

12:23

One part of get Fit To Row that I haven’t talked about in much depth is the “smart” bit. Over the many years that I have trained, I’ve always kept an eye on my resting heart rate, why? Simply because it’s the best indicator of my hearts fitness. My resting heart rate is low at 46 beats per minute. I’m 51. I’ve always thought the life I lead and the…

If there is one thing that is so good to see happen, and it often does, it’s when the clients I work with start becoming athletes. I see clients move from being led to leading themselves. A particular session done at just the right time in a training cycle seems to trigger this moment. It’s at about week 4 training with me, we do a session that's l…

122: Tunnel vision 8:18

3y ago8:18

8:18

At the start of a fitness journey I’ve often found that clients only see things in one dimension, they have tunnel vision. But at the start, when your first think about getting fit, I think it’s best to look at things in 5D. You need to look at what you understand about getting fit, identify what you need to know that you don’t yet, think about wha…

120: Happy breathing, happy performance 9:28

3y ago9:28

9:28

It's something I have been asked by just about everyone I've coached at some point, that being, "how should I breath" It's a true gift to get the breathing right in rowing or fitness, to be honest, the better you breathe the more you optimise your muscle potential and the more chance you have of getting fitter and stronger. But when do you breathe,…
