138: Can I meet Steve Redgrave? Feet up thinking day 2

Get Fit To Row….. Join The Crew

The good news is the leg is on the mend.

If the 9,611 steps I’ve taken today are anything to go by I’m hoping to be back in action, be it careful early next week, at the latest.

So, whilst I’ve been taking time off from training, the Get Fit To Coaching is still carrying on unaffected.

Now, I’ve been giving some thought to “who” if “anyone” would I have on the podcast when I reach 200 episodes.

200 episodes are around 30 hours of me talking about get fit to row, getting fit, rowing, training and anything else that comes to mind is quite a lot.

But we’re just getting started.

Now, here’s the thought, I think my rowing hero is Steve Redgrave, I’ve met him a few times at Henley Royal Regatta, just to say hello, don’t think he would ever remember me, but I remember him, the guy is huge, modest and friendly.

I’ve always wanted to ask, “what {did} you think about whilst you trained”, I’ve always wanted to know what he would have been thinking “at {key} moments” in his gold medal Olympic races, and I’ve always wanted to ask “what made you {never} give up”.

Now I don’t know how to get in touch with Steve and I’m not going to try to directly contact him, I don’t want to do things like that.

I think Steve is in China now as Director of Performance, he was recently named as someone who would not be selected for GBR Director of Performance, I wonder if that was simply a political decision or the powers knew he’s not the man for the job, who knows.

So if I’m not going to try and contact Steve directly, how can I ever expect to get to talk to him on podcast 200?

Well, I thought perhaps I’d leave it to you, one of my super fans who might know Steve or know someone who knows him to perhaps suggest to Steve to listen to my podcast, and If he fancied a chat, about stuff, perhaps he’ll reach out?

You see I’m trying to build Get Fit To Row as something anyone can try, but to find me you have to spend some time discovering me and learning about the Get Fit To Row idea, and if it’s right for you you might get in touch if it’s right for you it’s right

I’d love to talk to Steve Redgrave, he’s a hero of mine, I don’t know what I’d ask first, but I’d love to learn what journey he’ll have taken to find me.

Because I believe the best fitness endeavours are journeys, if you go on a journey what you find at the end is more valuable, then and for life.
