    Pleased with the rowing session, close to the max. pace I can hold given my lower back injury. I did it with no painkillers and had no discomfort which is positive. The gym session was more like rehab, I did a token weight for a few exercises and RDL was just to practice having a strong back position. Weakness most noticeable doing front planks and I couldn’t go beyond 30 secs. Not keen on the 2 x 18 minute rows tomorrow, the plan is to stop if it’s making my back worse.
