Top Tips for The Plus Fitness Currambine Oar-Inspiring Indoor Row
Who’s excited to take on the ultimate rowing challenge to help support childhood cancer research? Plus Fitness Currambine will be kindly hosting The Oar-Inspiring Indoor Row at their gym on Saturday 3 October, where participants will race a marathon on Concept 2 Rowers in teams of 4.
To help you get prepared for this thrilling event, Paul from Plus Fitness Currambine has put together “8 to be great” tips!
- Preparation is key
Make sure you have done your prep prior to the big day supplies, water, food, supplements, music, training etc. - Regular rowing
Try to row as often as possible with your training schedule prior to the big day. I once asked a 5-time world kick boxing champion at a seminar how I could improve my kicking. Waiting on a fancy, elaborate answer he simply replied – KICK! Whatever it is you want to get better at just do and do it regularly. - Hydration
It’s going to be a long workout so keeping hydrated is very important. Water, isotonic drinks and the like. - Nutrition
Don’t jump on the rower with a full stomach. Eat well before the start and make sure you snack throughout the session. NOT WITH BURGERS! - Support
Having good support from family, friends and loved ones is essential when undertaking a challenge like this. Bring people with you to cheer you and your team mates on. - Pace
Unless you are going for the win or a PB (Personal best) then pace the race. Don’t go too hard too soon otherwise it will become a very uncomfortable grind to the finish. - Training Schedule
Make sure you are adding in good quality training leading up to the challenge. Endurance is key here so ask for training programs to help. - Celebrate your achievement
What you have just completed needs to be recognised and celebrated so enjoy the moment, raise a glass and congratulate your teammates and especially yourself for a job well done.
