over 40s who love rowing
The best ways to work out as we age
Rowing for life

Elizabeth Sheldon

I must tell you your video critique was phenomenal and yesterday I went out and did the drills and my stroke length magically improved and my splits went down.

Rowing is already pretty expensive so I need to strongly consider costs. And I found the structure that I need to go it alone in terms of practices planning. Especially this year with the pandemic and no coach, I’ve relied heavily on Faster Masters to give a steady, progress-based approach to practices.

I hesitated for some months before buying a membership due to doubts about committing to a regular payment. I took the plunge when I compared it to the cost of a few bottles of wine and decided the programme would be better for me than the wine!

Filling a gap that I experience at my club

I trailed the 1 month membership and was sold.

The testing that was included gave me what I was missing.  The 20min erg trial to allocate splits is pretty much spot on with the heart rate work that I have been doing.

I have just signed up to the 12 month membership because of this.

[Faster Masters ] has filled a gap that I have experienced at my club.  They are all focused on 2k racing and testing is based around this.  It is simply a different race style to 1k and no real knowledge on training masters or peri/menopausal women.

If I try to get a program from the club it tends to be from extremely fit men in their 50s who don’t understand that I simply fatigue to the point that I cannot follow their program and still function through daily life.

The work load based on the testing that you have provided has turned that around.

78 years old gets surprising continuous improvement

I will state that the training plan most definitely works, and extremely well.  While following the plan as closely as possible during my 78th to 79th year I improved my performance continuously, and actually somewhat to my surprise. So I wish much continuing success to FMR.
