Day 20 – A sprint finish
The project: A month-long stint of pounding the fields and lanes of Sussex in my hapless and ill-advised attempt to complete a quintessentially English 5k race between two local pubs. Yes, a pint of beer awaits every finisher!
Dear Reader,
One thing I love about using the Water Rower for my daily exercise stint once in a while is that I can build up my stamina.
Yesterday’s run was great, but I’m becoming frustrated with my propensity to slow too often to a walk. I’m not yet up to running any more than about a kilometre at a time before I need either to pause or to walk for a moment or two, but I can keep going on the rowing machine for 25 minutes.
Well, towards the end of my 25 minutes today I’d noticed that I still had some way to go to hit 5,000 metres on the rower, and with just two minutes left in which to get there, I increased – and sustained – my 26.5 strokes per minute to 33.
5,003 metres in 25 minutes. Phew!
Thank you so much for following the Jog log 🏃🏻! I’ll see you tomorrow.
Love,
Rebecca

Should there ever be a water rowing competition, I think you'd be a cinch for it. :).
