Do your programs suit Australia?

Rebecca September 12, 2019

We got this question from a customer

Hi there, I noticed your programs are geared on a monthly basis to a particular rowing season. I’m based in NSW, Australia so can I access the appropriate programs to correspond to my rowing season? Currently we are just starting our regatta season having done some slow long rows during the winter months and then we finish up with our state and National championships around the end of May 2020.

Really enjoying your podcasts, thanks.

And our answer: YES!

We provide BOTH a southern hemisphere and a northern hemisphere training programme.  Your peak is probably May when the Australian Masters Nationals are.  And so in that month, we offer a programme for people peaking in May and a separate (different) programme for people peaking in September.

During the months October to December – both hemispheres are on the same track.  We think you may be doing the Head of the Yarra, and in the North they are doing Head of the Charles and the London Fours Head.

If you can tell us when your personal big races are, we will endeavour to build them into our programmes.

Just so you know, Rebecca (who is one of the owners) lives in New Zealand.

Want a better rowing group? Here’s how

Hello again Reader
Things that contribute to a robust rowing group over time can be encapsulated in Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Belonging and esteem are part of the list he identified in 1943.
Masters should have a range of ways to contribute to the overall club goals. Another word for esteem is ‘status’ and the way your club group assigns status is a core underpinning of its success. We masters are not all racing demons – young people gain rowing status by winning races; masters…

The masters rowing pathway

Hello again Reader
You’ve probably heard of the concept of an “athlete pathway”. It’s the process by which federations organise talent identification and coaching to develop athletes towards high performance and the Olympic Games.
Much of national sport is organised around this pathway. Funding is allocated to different layers of achievement, coaching education is structured to advance athletes to the next stage, erg score targets and national speed order trials are organised.
There is no…

Guidance on adjusting training to align with your race dates

Hello again Reader
Across the world there are events at different times of year. When Marlene and I started this business we researched the major events for masters rowers in English-speaking countries. We designed the training programmes to cater for the majority using our standard training plans. Sometimes, these don’t exactly align with races you want to do.
We got this question from Michael
Do you by any chance have a training program for a single sculler taking part in a 16km head race?…
