Default Stacked columns width too thin - how can I alter?

Hi!

I've created a bar chart with stacked columns, but the bars have come
through no wider than a 1pt line - I've managed to increase them to the width
of a 2pt line by reducing the 'gap' to zero in 'Format data series-
options', but this is still not wide enough to see the bar colour and not
consistent with the legend. How can I get the bars to be a standard width so
I can see the data? I've also tried transposing the data to see if this made
a difference, but no luck.

The data is as follows:
Column 1 = date (1/1/08; 8/1/08, etc)
Column 2-4 = time values for different training type times, eg run, cycle,
swim (format = 00:29:34)
Columns 5 = number value between 120 - 200 (for average heart rate)

Column 1 = chart x axis.
Total of columns 2-4 = primary y axis plotted as stacked column
Column 5 = secondary y axis plotted as line.

Any suggestions?! Thanks
