Still got this cold, will do nothing today, may paddle a very gentle HM tomorrow (2:00 pace). Meant to be racing next weekend (Surrey IRC) have done no speed work for months, so will row it as a training piece. Sir Pirate

Just a question! How can I get unstuck from base mode. I have been rowing at 22-24 spm for 3-4 mounts now. And just 3 weeks ago my coach started to make me do sprints. I have been hating it so much because on a 2k I cant get more than a 28-9 SPM. That drives me nuts because by the 750 to go mark its heavy on me and its also hard. I run out of gass . I have had parcial succses last week when i did a 1500 at a 34-6 . But today I had an indoor race and i was doing 28-29SPM and died at 600 to go. Finished last in my heat with time of 7:16.7 . Lame.... I was shooting for 7:10! Any way I have been pushing my self prety hard. I started rowing only about 1.5 years ago and I was so out of shape I could not have done 500m w/o stoping even if my life depended on it. Last jan. my time for a 2k was 7:34? Is that a good improvment? I am 16 HW at 78-80kg and bout 5 feet 7' inches.

Stick with it mate, just get plenty of base metres under your belt. maybe look at the drag you are using. At 16 you are making excellent progress. Today for me;- 5am, 15,000m 06.30 ;- to gym, 30 mins stepper, 45 mins bike, 20 mins stepper.
