I’m reading a new book called Peak by Dr Marc Bubbs, It’s called The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionising Sports.
It’s a slow read for me and I and dipping into different bits each day. I came across this new chapter quote that i thought was quite an insight, that being:
“It’s not the will to win that matters. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters” - Paul “Bear” Bryant.
I think this rings true with just getting fit, you have to prepare to get fit, which I think requires time, learning, listening and above all a willingness to commit, preparing costs nothing, but doing the prep will allow you to get to where you want to be.

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 invisible core muscles, they are activated during the body swing. The core muscles take time to train and develop because you can’t see them, they lay deep inside our core.

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?

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 the thing about the Hydrow rowing machine that I think few have mentioned, but I will, when you row on a Hydrow rowing machine your rowing with someone and because of that it’s simply more fun. And if it’s more fun there is a strong chance that you’ll stick at it longer, which means you’ll get fitter….. Knowing this made me smile.

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 performance? So here’s the thing, I’ve been thinking about world-class basics, how do people live to deliver them, and what type of people optimise them. Knowing that you have a talent comes through allowing others to see it, you have to share it, even the slightest hint that you think you might have a talent. Once you have shared your talent perhaps with someone you trust, you’d do best to try and understand how you make it simple, simple enough to you, understand the parts, train all the parts, be curious how to maximise the parts. Do the smallest parts, the basics to a world-class standard. I was listening to a recording of Muhammad Ali this week when he shared his most memorable quote “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. What he said at that moment made what he did in the ring invisible to his opponents. He carried out world-class basics.

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 potentates; Forward I look, and backward, and below I count, as god of avenues and gates, The years that through my portals come and go. I block the roads, and drift the fields with snow; I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen; My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow, My fires light up the hearths and hearts of men. This poem is in the public domain. Here’s today’s podcast and my reading of the poem. https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/156-my-frosts-congeal-the-rivers-in-their-flow What about your fitness and rowing , are you ready to get started? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/get-fit-to-row/message…
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 that you need to listen out for. Eric talks about smooth hand speed around the turn at the front and back of the stroke, which is interesting to hear. He also talks about “gradually” pushing more power out during the leg drive throughout the session, so as you get more into the session and weaker you focus on pushing more out or you, seems counter-intuitive, but the more you focus the more YOU CAN push more. Give it a try.

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.

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 you make time to get fit you will. Your health is an investment, time is something you can give yourself at no cost at all, and the return in value and quality of life is huge. So if you change how you manage your time, and pay that time to you to get fit and healthy, given time you will. I always think the hardest thing to do when you’re considering better health and fitness is getting started, the small thing, the small change. I think doing small is easier than doing big.

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”, getting fit that is. The quote that is never wrong in my mind is, “have a healthy mind and body”, one comes with the other, and to be honest it’s more important to balance this now more than ever before. One of the aspects of rowing (be that indoors or outdoors) that is not often talked about is the freedom you can experience physically and mental from being fit. Fit to handle what life throughs at you. I love rowing, and each and every stroke helps to strengthen the mind and body better than nearly any fitness program or sport.

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 gym, but the strength has defiantly fallen off, and this happens to anyone and everyone over the age of 30…… Here’s today’s podcast: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/147-weak-but-focused What about your fitness and rowing , are you ready to get started? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/get-fit-to-row/message…

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 could make contact with me and see if you can help bring the idea to life.

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 I coached were doing pyramids, in so much that they went up and down the stroke rating. Why do we do pyramids, simple, to build better technique under increasing levels of performance and stress, what you learn on the way up the rating is how to focus on the changeup, try and keep the technique together, and on the way down it’s about compounding that learning as the movements get slow. When you do pyramids for the first time there is a lot to think about, lots of moving parts all moving faster and faster. The more you do a pyramid session the more you can fine-tune your technique, power and focus.

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 scratch crew boat (which is a group if individuals that have not rowed together before), as a group of individuals we’re all feeling for the movements of the team, no matter what the power of the individuals. Thinking sideways a bit, Micheal Jordan has plenty of power, I recently watch the last dance series on Netfilx which featured Micheal Jordan, in one episode they focused on the moment when Micheal realised the power of a team, rather than the power of his own talent. When he did start operating in and with the team he became greater and so did the team. It’s quite a weird experience in rowing bringing together a group of individuals together to make a boat go faster, sometimes it works well and sometimes a boat never gets to the speed you’d think it could get to. It’s because you have to think and feel like a team.

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 towards it consistently.

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 control of the choice? A choice is something we can do, not do, avoid or even miss place. Miss placing fitness, that doesn’t feel too terminal does it, it feels like it’s something to discover, refind, give some thought to. And once we have given getting fit some thought, perhaps you’ll be ready to get fit.

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.

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 have on the podcast when I reach 200 episodes. 200 episodes are around 30 hours of me talking about get fit to row, getting fit, rowing, training and anything else that comes to mind is quite a lot. But we’re just getting started. Now, here’s the thought, I think my rowing hero is Steve Redgrave, I’ve met him a few times at Henley Royal Regatta, just to say hello, don’t think he would ever remember me, but I remember him, the guy is huge, modest and friendly. I’ve always wanted to ask, “what {did} you think about whilst you trained”, I’ve always wanted to know what he would have been thinking “at {key} moments” in his gold medal Olympic races, and I’ve always wanted to ask “what made you {never} give up”. Now I don’t know how to get in touch with Steve and I’m not going to try to directly contact him, I don’t want to do things like that. I think Steve is in China now as Director of Performance, he was recently named as someone who would not be selected for GBR Director of Performance, I wonder if that was simply a political decision or the powers knew he’s not the man for the job, who knows. So if I’m not going to try and contact Steve directly, how can I ever expect to get to talk to him on podcast 200? Well, I thought perhaps I’d leave it to you, one of my super fans who might know Steve or know someone who knows him to perhaps suggest to Steve to listen to my podcast, and If he fancied a chat, about stuff, perhaps he’ll reach out? You see I’m trying to build Get Fit To Row as something anyone can try, but to find me you have to spend some time discovering me and learning about the Get Fit To Row idea, and if it’s right for you you might get in touch if it’s right for you it’s right I’d love to talk to Steve Redgrave, he’s a hero of mine, I don’t know what I’d ask first, but I’d love to learn what journey he’ll have taken to find me. Because I believe the best fitness endeavours are journeys, if you go on a journey what you find at the end is more valuable, then and for life.

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 make a powerful twist and turn and change in direction in anything? It’s always going to lead to an outcome you’re not expecting. Perhaps If I’d given it more thought, made sure I’d given myself a better warm-up, knowing that the movements I was about to go through were not common to my fitness programs, perhaps I’d have either not attempted those moves or done them with less force. Luckily I’ve had a strain before, I hope I know how to help it recover fast, but it will require putting my feet up for a few days, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s going to give me time to reflect, be grateful for what I’ve achieved this year and perhaps I’ll reset for something new to get started when the leg is back tp full power.

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 closer goal, they needed to score, they needed to defend, they needed to dig deep, they needed to not concede a try. After spending near on 30 minutes in the last third of their side of the pitch, they had a breakthrough, they got a penalty. They then ran the play over the halfway line, then a few phases of play, finally to the wing. They scored and got ahead. But it took time.

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 jump out of the boat, but you can’t can you. I learnt on that day that the pain, adrenaline, and joy at the end of the row was addictive.

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?
