25 Min Row Along — Taking It Easy

May 26: Row along with me for 25 minutes — easy pace, plenty of technique coaching, and some good chat along the way.

This is a low intensity session where we dig into the details: how to sit on the seat, where to set your feet, what grip to use, how to engage your lats without wrecking your neck, and what "drag factor" actually means (spoiler: it's not about speed — it's about how heavy each stroke feels, and the "baby bear setting" is where you want to live).

I also talk about HYROX training, British Rowing Indoor Champs, why I'm filming in a vest at 7:30am, and why you should tell someone you love them today.

Whether you're here for the technique or just here for the company, this session works either way. Use it how you want to.
