This morning I had a private session with a rowing coach. We went through how to row effectively on the 'Erg'. I found the session very beneficial. One of the main themes of this morning session was learning how to slow down and with his become a lot more efficient in the stroke. I am quite good at the 500m sprint but if I ever want to become good at the standard 2000m I will really have take this on board. The other main theme for the morning was breaking the stroke down into its individual movements and isolating each component.

In the next two months I would like to take my 2000m time down to 7.20 minuets. This means that I would need to shave off 10sec off each 500m split. Sound easy but I know that it will take some hard work.
