Day 27 - Real Progress.....

4 lots of 15' tonight, 4R - 7' 2:15, 8' 2:25 for Anita, 7' 1:52, 8' 2:01 for me.

Very good showing tonight - The 1st interval is rapidly feeling the hardest as we've not really warmed up too much before-hand, but Anita said she is really feeling the difference with regards to her recovery time, with steady breathing even though her heart rate is elevated during the fast 7 minutes. She now has the strength in her arms to the fast 7' at low stroke rates  (22) as well, so she is quickly becoming a rowing monster.

I feel able to do 4 lots of 4k in 15 minutes now - 4k always used to be the benchmark and I've only been over 4k about 4 times before - It all bodes well for the 6344m challenge series piece for November, where I'll be looking for sub-23 minutes, Anita sub-28.

Anita: 13012m
Andy: 15599m

Cumulative: 800624m (497.6 miles)

The Journey:
Start - Topnotch Gym, Colchester CO4 9ES
Finish - Saint-Apollinaire, Cote-d'Or, France http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Apollinaire,_C%C3%B4te-d%27Or
