Sub 7min Problems

[cooldude_crew]

I am currently in Wrestling So I haven't been able to work out very much on the rowing machine.

My Question is this:

I am working to get a sub 7min(PB 7:11.7-Done almost a year ago)
So I joined a cardio class in school(Run,Swim,Lift Weights)
I also have required practice that lasts for 1 and a half
Then in order to better my self I am doing a Erging Plan from RowPro
*******All of these Last all Season***********

This would be normal Except During the Wrestling I had a Awful Flu that lasted almost a week, I haven't felt 100% since

*****************************************
Now for the REAL QUESTION:

Is This Too Much?
How Long should I break?
How much is it possible to improve my time in 6 weeks?

Are thier any good Supplements like Protein Shakes and Bars?

Thanks for the Support

I would stay away from the protein shakes really. If you have enough calories going in you don't need to supplement your diet with extra protein. If you want to be breaking sub-7 you'll need to cut down on your protein and get more carbs IMO. The GB rowing team of yesteryear (pinsent, redgrave etc) used to have a diet of at least 70% carbs so aim for something like that.
You will be able to break the 7 in six weeks with a proper training plan i should think, try doing interval sessions like 8x500m with 3 min rest or 4x1k. This should help a lot with your power/endurance and supplement it with a few hard 10ks to build your stamina.
Stick at it

Thank you for the response

I Didn't know that carbs were what you wanted during training, I thought just the day before the race.

Your Input changed my mind though.

I will try to eat more carbs (which should not be too hard, These are my favorite foods-GO PASTA)

THANKS FOR THE GREAT ADVICE
