Why sell clothing?

Rebecca explains

We wanted to create a “talking object” for our community. When you are out and about in the rowing world, you may not know that someone is also a Faster Masters Rowing community member and so by wearing clothing with our brand on it, you can easily spot others who might enjoy connecting with you. They will already know that you are a like-minded athlete who is on a journey of technical improvement and learning how to age well and still keep rowing.

Faster Masters Rowing are advocates for masters within the sport – we lobby federations to take their masters members more seriously, to provide the services which masters need, to bring the older athlete to the foreground in rowing. We are the backbone of the sport, we volunteer, we coach, we pay our dues and we deserve to be acknowledged and recognized as valued community members.

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.
