Instagram: @tom_milli https://www.instagram.com/tom_milli/ Have you ever considered rowing? Or wondered what goes in to a student rowers schedule? The answer is usually early mornings, hard work + a full schedule but a ultimately its a rewarding lifestyle. If you are a student rower like me and you're going on break for a few weeks, hopefully this video gives you some ideas for how to stay in shape and fit training into your routine. This vlog takes place in the first week of Spring or Easter Break from University, I have one month off before going back to studying and sitting my final exams along with beginning my final company based dissertation project. Oh and I'll be competing at BUCS Regatta a couple of weeks into term, so this is also on my mind. I've shown a typical week of training, with three ergs, 4-5 weights sessions and plenty of cross training through cycling and other cardio methods. I also have to fit in visiting family, seeing home friends, revising and getting some much needed down time from University life. With only a month to go until BUCS, I will be increasing the intensity of training, moving into high rate, high effort pieces in order to prepare for the 2km distance. I'm also planning to attempt a 2km test PB in the coming weeks, which will give an objective review of my fitness. Overall, I'm happy with training, a couple of niggling injuries (namely my lower back) which have been with me for a couple of years now, but I should be coming in - in decent shape for regatta season. Hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching.
