Still can;t quite believe it myself! I have moved away from the relentless quest for PB's they stil...

ojmit again - got on this morning and just managed 7007 for a 30 minute row - I just feel very very tired when I climb aboard! I look forward to it and then after about five minutes I just feel shattered.....I take on board all the advice...but worry if I just row slowly I 'm not doing myself much g...

ojmit again - I am now thoroughly demoralised - I am rowing so slowly at the moment - I have not been able to get near my PBs for about a month now - my 2k remains 7:33 and 5k 19:53. Have I reached my peak?? I am continuing to row 5 times a week - doing various timed rows - usually 30, 40 or 50 minu...

I felt fine apart from the pain in the rear end - I just could not get comfortable - switching from one side of the seat to the other constantly for the last 10 / 15 minutes! lungs and legs actually felt fine...

thanks for the advice - just can't seem to qiut the smokes just yet - BUT - I finally managed the 60 mins this morning!! only 13422 m's but I feel a massive sense of relief at finally getting the hour under my belt! The last ten minutes were pure agony!!

Right, I have now been rowing on the machine for six weeks....I started off at 9:20 for 2k. My new pb is 7:38. I also do 5k in about 21:30. I have done this every day for six weeks with about six rest days in total. I feel pretty good and it has helped my squash game enormously. I have huge blisters...

i did 2000m in 7:38 today - probably not a world record! but it took 12 seconds off my PB - over the moon....!!!

Thanks for the advice! I am rwoing every day at the moment - scared if I don;t I will lose whatever fitness I have gained - still on the ciggies - but coping - what do you suggest for 'rest' days - one a week or two....cheers
