Three Olympic medals later, that sense of belonging is still what keeps me coming back. And there are few people who can create community among masters rowers like Rebecca can at Faster Masters Rowing. Even if all you do is subscribe to the newsletter, your life will be better for it. You belong here.
Our club has excellent support for masters rowers. Nevertheless, I find Faster Masters to be an excellent supplement to the training programs and coaching available at the club. I row a single and having the extra drills and in depth analysis of the rowing stroke provided by Faster Masters, in mind while I am alone on the water to be a great supplement. Rebecca Caroe and Marlene Royle have overcome my early skepticism about the format and content.
