Rowing The Length Of England

[[old] adammarsland]

Hello everyone, next month myself and my friend are trying to row the length of England on an indoor rowing machine which roughly translates to 16,500 metres daily. I can cope with the distance fine, however I was wondering if I could sustain this for a whole month. Basically I was wondering if anyone has done this sort of thing before and what advice can be given?<br /><br />Adam

There is a related thread on this board "<a href='http://concept2.ipbhost.com/index.php?s ... c=2769&hl=' target='_blank'>here</a>" as well.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Alissa
