Durham’s players completed an English channel row last Friday – from the confines of the Emirates Riverside gym!
Strength & Conditioning coach Sam Clark put the players through their paces in a 41,843 metre row, the equivalent distance from England to France, on two Concept rowing machines.
It was the final challenge set for the squad before a break over the Christmas period.
Since returning to the Club in early November, the players have been put through an intensive winter training programme.
Players were also put through their paces in spin classes at David Lloyd Newcastle & boxing as well as the dreaded yo-yo test.
Jon Lewis’ squad will now report back in the New Year as they step up their preparations ahead of the 2018 season.
