162: You are breaking my mind
Well I may be breaking the minds of the clients I work with, but I’m also doing a really good job of rebuilding as we go.
-
161: Intention - Process - Results
I believe these 3 steps are held together by world-class basics. Here’s today’s podcast Episode Home: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/161-intention-process-results
-
160: Invisible super-powered movements
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...
-
159: World class consistency
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...
-
158: Hydrow rowing machine made me simile
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…

157: Float like a butterfly..... world-class basics
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...
-
156: My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow
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...
-
155: Power, and hand speed
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...
-
154: Push, pull, hinge and drive
It’s the welcome back weights session, make sure you’re up to speed with your technique. There are 4 key exercises to focus on, each builds towards maximising power. Here’s today’s podcast: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/154-push-pull-hinge-and-drive What about your fitness…

153: Welcome back session
I simply love low rating, it requires a good deal of personal coaching, meaning you, yes you have to think about what you're doing. Here’s today’s podcast: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/153-welcome-back-session What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?
-
152: Train in blocks
Sounds simple, build blocks and your progress faster. Here’s today’s podcast: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/152-train-in-blocks What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?
-
151: The playbook
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.…

150: Catch 22
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...

149: Looking down the race track of 2021
So the race is done. 2021 is done. How did we do? Here’s today’s podcast: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/149-looking-down-the-race-track-of-2021 What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?
-
148: Get Fit in 2022
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”…
more -
147: Weak but focused
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...
-
146: Heart rate, mental health and wellness
I’ve learned by studying myself very closely that my daily training habit keeps my mental health strong. Here’s today’s podcast: https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/146-heart-rate-mental-health-and-wellness What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?
-
145: Complete rowing
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…

144: Preparing for a 2k test (audio)
Ok, let’s be honest I haven’t yet met anyone who likes carrying out the 2000m test. But, I’ve also learnt that people don’t put enough focus into the mental prep and planning around the test. So, I’ve given it some thought and have done a podcast around doing a 2k test. How to think before…

143: A visit to the pyramids
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...
-
142: One last dance
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...
-
141: World class basics
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...
-
140: Get fit, simple
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...
-
139: Fast hand moves! Feet up thinking day 3
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...
-
138: Can I meet Steve Redgrave? Feet up thinking day 2
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...
-
137: When will I learn! Feet up thinking day 1
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…
more -
136: Ahead takes time
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…
more -
135: Jumping out of the boat
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...
-
134: Staying in the game
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. Here’s the link to the podcast with Dan Carter I talk about in the podcast:...
-
133: Chimp Paradox
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...
-
132: Why we row
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...
-
131: I’m focused throughout
I haven’t told you yet but I have a day job and Get Fit To Row is my passion and side hustle, we all need one right? Today the day job took me to an investors meeting and wasn’t that fun, it went as well as can be expected. I needed to be able to clearly communicate “the plan”. I needed to be…
more -
130: L3, L4, L5 and that blister
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…

129: 50 minutes to the moon
Have you taken the time to listen to a podcast by the BBC called 13 minutes to the moon? The podcast goes through the last 13 minutes before the first man on the moon. It’s extraordinary to listen to, to listen to the level of detail that went into making this event happen. It’s also fascinating...
-
128: 8 x 500m, there is no hiding
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…
more -
127: People like us, do things like this
Ok, I’ll admit from time to time I get things wrong, but that’s normal right? Last week I did something that’s taken me a week to recover from, at first I had no idea what had caused it. You see I felt really weak. I couldn’t do my normal training, and I seemed to find it hard to have the...
-
126: UT1 and UT2, It’s life, but not as you know it
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...
-
125: Resting heart rate
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…

124: Prepare to get fit
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:...
-
123: Creating magic
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...
-
122: Tunnel vision
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...
-
121: Hello, nice to see you
I can’t understate how important it is to meet me. I’ve had a few phone calls from people interested in Get Fit To Row, they have all been quite lengthy phone calls, 30mins to 1hour long. And at the end of the calls, I’ve never been quite sure whether the person on the call has got what they...
-
120: Happy breathing, happy performance
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...
-
119: Back to school
I never found school easy, I can honestly say I don’t even remember most of it, what I can remember is the train to school, the places I used to hide to get out of lessons, and Mr Hicky. But today I’ve set myself the challenge of completing the Level 2/3 Diploma in Personal Training, it’s not…

117: My pee has gone orange!
I know, I know, I should know better, but I simply forgot! Don't do what I do, do what I say, and in this podcast, I explain why I felt so weak after a leg session in the gym. Let's say it all comes down to water. Podcast Home:...

116: Rowing Sounds For Sleep
It’s a lovely day on the water, flat and windless, perfect for a scull. This is a 30 min sculling session videoed by Cameron Buchan, here you can listen to 30 mins whilst you drop off to sleep, you can grab all his videos over on youtube, including his 5.53 2k test, the guy is huge. I have now…

It’s perhaps not as obvious as you’d think, the speed of movements that is. Here’s today’s podcast https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/114-movements-fast-and-slow

113: The Fitness Loop: The #1 Reason Why We Row, and Get Fit.
This is an idea I have to try and explain why Get Fit To Row and getting fit are so well matched for those that want to get fit. The article I talk about is a work in progress and will take some days to write and edit, maybe even longer.
