Yup, I think that interloper shows Nellers up for the slacker he is :-)

After struggling a little with motivation (prob due to trying to bounce back too quickly after the injury) I decided to go back to basics and the Beginners Pete Plan. So today was week 1 session 1 and 5,000 metres steady.

Had a motivationless weekend but kicked off the week with steady state 10k this morning.

As a sort-of follow up on the Sky Sports report on the GB Rowing team winter training camp, the following is a guy trying to eat the 9000 calories that the mens rowers say they get through. It's pretty ropey, I warn you.

Jeez! To put away that volume of food in 45 mins is bizarrely impressive!

There is a "sport" called speed eating. Occasionally shown on the outermost reaches of the Freeview spectrum. A truly bizarre and barf-inducing activity.

I think I'll give it a miss.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, I've done another 10km steady state this morning to calm my nerves before a job interview. Wish me luck.
