That's me. I have a habit of gut busting till I run out of juice and just stop. Good thing is a quick top up and I'm off again. Though I think I'd go for a soft length of cotton than wire nowadays.

I have never been good at training, for rowing I'd go out and row a couple of hours before and after school every day. Other than that I'd find some work that would get the fitness levels up so someone would effectively pay me to train. Things like courier, shelter belt planting, farm fencing, .... Never seen the point in forking out good money when not necessary.

I still go hard out like an 18 year old but usually recover in a couple of hours.
