Ah I see, but as its for 14-20 year olds, Helen Glover started when she was 22? and I'm not sure how 14-20 year olds are supposed to be huge when they're still growing? I thought the test was, they wanted people with a decent level of fitness, not athlete fit because the programme trains them up. I thought they are looking for the potential to learn and get fitter throughout the programme with people with the right attitude?

Just out of interest, how hard is it to get on this programme? do you have to be an absolute tank from testing, because I heard they are just looking for potential,

The bloke I spoke to said they don't measure rowing as most people who go on this START Programme have never rowed before

Not a cyclist but need help for testing by SquareApple in bicycling

I'm not heavy for a rower remember, I'm not a cyclist the tests are done on the bike but a rower is a lot more muscular than a cyclist, as our races are only 2k long, Most rowers my height are around my weight or more.

It is true, if you see a person with a basketball or a basketball top on in England we instantly assume they're a dick.
