My Fitness Journey
Just 5 days to go on the C2 April Fool’s Challenge and the C2 World Erg Challenge, then I can have a rest day. Monday morning rowing, 2,000m (10:20.5) warm up, then 10,000m for the C2 World Erg and the Dark Horse National Parks Challenges. More UT2 training, no point tiring myself out on these…

Monday morning rowing, 2,000m (10:21.5) warm up, then 10,000m for Mud Season Madness: Didn’t feel like doing any more today so skipped the usual cool down meters, 23 of 25 days done, only two more required to complete Mud Season Madness. Tuesday morning rowing, still not feeling like doing extra meters, so just 10,000m for…
Monday morning rowing, not feeling great this morning, so just did a slow 10,000m As the day progressed I developed a chesty cough. Tuesday morning, cough is far worse, I ache and feel cold, really not in the mood for rowing or archery today, so having a rest day. Wednesday morning rowing, feeling slightly better,…
Monday, feeling pretty destroyed after Gloucester in the weekend (see separate post), so having a rest day today. Tuesday morning rowing, light 10,000m piece for Mud Season Madness as my calves were still feeling very tight and painful. Tuesday evening archery, new beginners course starting this evening, I decided to shoot my recurve bow for…
Our last session OTW before heading over to Gloucester was in an 8+ on the Saturday morning, strong stream due to recent rain meant ‘Yellow boards increasing’, eventually went to ‘Red boards’ by the afternoon, this was the only way everyone was going out as we had some less experienced rowers in the crew. Loaded…
Monday morning rowing, low intensity recovery 10,000m piece for C2 Mud Season Madness: Tuesday morning rowing, another low intensity 10,000m, this time interrupted several times by a Tesco delivery. Tuesday evening archery, AGM this evening so no shooting. Wednesday morning rowing, 2,000m (9:41.8) warm up, then C2 International Women’s Day Challenge, Concept 2 will donate…
Monday morning rowing, I decided to take it easy with a recovery piece. 2,000m (10:00.1) warm up, then a 10,000m UT2 ‘fat burner’. I did not feel like doing a cool down as it would just have been more rowing at the same pace as the 10K, so just did some stretching. Tuesday rest day,…
Monday, rest day, I decided to take a day off after the weekend’s activities to give myself a chance to recover. Tuesday morning rowing, I had another bad night and was awake from around 04:00, so was not really feeling it for crushing another workout. I did a 2,000m (10:09.7) warm up, then did 2…
The Dark Horse rowing challenge for February is to row from Dana to Petra in Jordan a distance of 75,000m, your time for the journey starts with your first workout and finishes when you pass 75Km, warm up and cool down meters do not count towards the total. I decided to do this as 3…
