“I have presented the options to our club & pushed heavily for the program. There are some very vocal people who feel like there are robust free training plans online Some suggest we reuse our plan from 6 years ago and that would suffice for our purposes. It’s more of an uphill battle than I expected. The next step is for people to submit their own recommendations for our committee to consider. Once that’s done, we will put it to a vote. People are just very largely against paying for a plan and think that we have enough talented, intelligent people on our team to put something together that’ll be good enough. We are a recreationally competitive club with no real desire to progress beyond that.”

Is this a situation that looks familiar to you?

02:00 Our challenges are often similar but local situations have nuance.

  • A committee that makes decisions
  • Vocal people in the group
  • Perceptions about what will “do the job” of a programme.

03:00 Any free rowing program MUST be written for masters.

If you’re athletic, and well-trained, aged 40 or less You will have no problem using free online programs written for 2k racing.

Men and women cannot do the same program because our physiology changes through the decades.

Your Guide to Purchasing Rowing Coaching

Good reasons to spend money on a specific program for 1k racing. This program takes you there quite quickly – it has one week of training (specific preparation with a taper week). You get 7 days of training which you repeat each week and then move into the taper week before the regatta.

As you get closer to the race, you need to practice distance in meters, not minutes of workout. This workout is focused on 500m, 750m and 250m workouts aligned with learning the race distance within one workout.

This is a GOOD Training program for one thousand meters, I found it hard to get my training right for this distance.

11:30 Feedback we gave to Rebecca Caroe – the price could be increased to include a consultation – or to buy a consult on its own to get individual coaching suited for yourself.

Burnt toast or death

Hello again Reader Disasters happen – do you feel that they happen often? I don’t need to define the scale of what happens – you are already thinking about the last thing that happened to you which felt disastrous. And yet…..

Meaning what was the scale of the crisis. And that allowed them to put some perspective around what…
