Rowing is fun, so is a rowing vacation even more fun? There are amazing places in the world where water is near tourist landmarks. Rowing past the Eiffel Tower in Paris, or through Venice or Saint Petersburg are all possible. We talk with an expert rowing tour guide.
00:52 Ruth Marr of Rowing the World joins the show and tells us the story of how she started Rowing the World, her combined passion for rowing with her combined passion for travel. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Rowing the World
05:13 Ruth tells about her first tour experience with the FISA World Tour in 2012 in Sudbury Ontario.
07:32 Ruth spent 6 months in Switzerland and Northern Italy researching clubs to see if she could organize groups. Then did her first tour in that area.
10:03 The second trip was in 2013 on the Shannon River in Ireland, after the FISA World Rowing Tour on coxed quads. Tells about the events of that infamous FISA tour that made news and then her tour which had some adventurous moments too, i.e. boats in the cow field.
19:15 Ruth tells us about a typical day on a rowing tour. What happens from the time you get up in the morning until dinner in the evening. Every trip is tailored to the location and the focus is rowing; scenery, enjoying each other, and an enjoyable row. Ruth tells about visiting other boathouses, equipment, schedule, changing seats in the boat, coaxing, low rate steady rowing mostly in touring quads. Each day depends on the distance to be covered, where we need to land, the weather, can be point to point or central base trip out of one place like the Croatia tour or BC.
33:30 Description of the BC wilderness tour and base camp on the west coast of Vancouver Island and this year’s wellness tours in Italy are center based.
34:55 Another style of trip is a point to point trip is the Thames Oxford to Weybridge, around Lago Maggiore (Italy), or Turkey which is combined Bodrum point to point then to Istanbul to the Golden Horn. Coming up will be a Sweden tour point to point.
37:39 The physical preparation for a tour from the training point of view. Rowers need to have two years experience sculling. They need fitness but also to have good technique especially for some of the coastal trip. Need to be able to row for an extended period but also to do it several days in a row. Long steady workouts at low rates.
42:30 Marlene talks about preparation. A tour can fit into your racing schedule for base training. For the tour prepare the durability to go from day to day. Prepare tendons and muscles for durability and to develop your recovery ability. Cross training can help preparation too.
46:15 Ruth describes about rowing on different types of water river, open water, or lakes that may be different than from the water a sculler rows on at home.
48:38 Go to the page Rowing-the-World there is information about Ruth’s tours and there is a preparation program for touring. 50:00 Ruth summarizes the variety of the people and places where Rowing the World tours visit.
Head racing rowing stories for you to learn the best tactics for overtaking, starting, fending off another crew, maintaining form, race plans, and sprinting for the line.
5 Tips for head racing
01:50 Head Racing is fun - we are going to share one tip each for five critical parts of your race. Firstly, the key rule is to practice everything beforehand. DON'T do it in the race for the first time.
03:30 Clarifying your understanding of every call - what it means and how to do it. It's essential everyone in the crew has identical comprehension of the cox's calls.
04:00 Starting the race
- Be at race speed as you cross the line - do a moving start (half, half, three quarter, full full slide).
- Start close to the crew in front - try one and a half lengths. Position the boat hull to avoid wake from the boat in front's puddles as they come under your riggers.
06:30 Overtaking
- Pay attention to your blades if you are on the side closest to the other crew. Avoid clashing blades - adjust your timing so you place yours into the water in between their oars. Watch your oar and try to put it in behind theirs. Don't look at the other crew if you aren't on that side of the boat - your job is to keep the boat level while overtaking. Use a little lateral pressure on the gate.
- Get close behind the crew before starting to overtake and then steer late. Try to hold your line as long as possible and hope the other crew steers away first. It's like a game of "rowing chicken".
09.20 Fending off another crew from overtaking you.
- As you watch them coming take long strokes. Try to increase stroke length by one inch a stroke.
- Steer late and hope they steer around you first.
2:30 Maintaining form
- Have several "one word mantras" which are your key to row wall. This could be "legs" or "swing". Simple commands because the athlete's brain is oxygen-starved and not good at comprehending when tired.
- The coxswain should take control of the technique and tell the crew how to do the change they want e.g. "lift your hands to the catch" or "Length in the water".
15:45 Sprinting for the line
- Agree one landmark you will use for the finishing sprint
- Go for home early by gradually upping the rate.
Learn to row programmes for masters. Masters rowing has two types of member - returning rowers who learned in their youth and adult beginners. Should club boards consider adding more learn to row programs? We discuss the advantages and disadvantages.
01:30 Learn to row - who wants to do it?
02:30 Clubs need a strategy and goals first. Does LTR fit into this? Marlene coached in 1982 Boston, MA and it was the only learn to row in town.
04:30 What is the funnel pathway to membership of the club? This is important to figure out. A community club needs presence with townsfolk.
06:00 when someone tries rowing it is either a yes or a no. Do they like it?
08:30 Pathways - some run LTR over 6-8 weeks and that isn't effective. it's better to do a weekend to get them hooked. A 48 hour camp where you - row Sat/Sun and learn a lot.
12:30 For a small club after LTR integrating a whole group is challenging.
Large clubs with coaches can have 3 groups - beginner /intermediate / advanced
13:30 Give the Learn to Row course members the best coach you can - It's their first impression.
So they feel understood. Many clubs host introductions to rowing throughout the year. We recommend you add an entry level class - with a skills checklist to confirm skills before you can join the intermediate group.
17:15 LTR courses are a great fundraiser. The goal of the program is an adventure camp. Learn something new and fun.
20:00 Are masters receptive to coaching? Or is it a lack of coach communication skills?
Masters attend camps because of coaching. When you ask what's important to them you find a focus for your coaching.
You can't coach masters like juniors. Give people time to explore rowing.
Masters Rowing - the book by Volker Nolte and Wolfgang Fritsch has a chapter on running a masters learn to row course. It's exactly the way Rebecca teaches her novices. Buy the book.

So you're going to do CRASH-B or another erg race. We share our checklist of things you should (and should not) do before the big event.
02:00 Erg races coming up.
04:00 The week before your event. You have started the taper recovery week on your programme.
06:30 Practice your warm up every day. Know if it works. When you do your high rate workouts, are you warm and perform well?
Routine and focus avoids distractions. It will calm you down.
09:00 Have a routine for your workout. - Layout clothes the night before. - Pack your bag the same all the time. e.g. water bottle in the same pocket. - Be mindful as you pack your clothes.
17:45 Once on your competition erg adjust foot stretchers and drag factor.
Then the referee sets the race screen. [You may not be allowed to do this.] Choose a drag factor that works for you - do you like to feel more powerful or do you prefer to get more of a high rating/freewheeling feel on the pickup?
20:00 Balance the stoke rate with drag factor to give you the best score.
Rob Waddell [Former world Indoor rowing Champion] chose his drag factor so the drive time in the boat and on the erg were the same,
When our rowing friends or coaches die, what can we do? We discuss ways to memorialise rowers. And what we can do to support and celebrate with rowers facing end of life.
02:00 Rowing and death. Iconic coaches are passing away. Makes you think about who influenced you and who you worked with.
03:30 Ways to Memorialise people.
07:30 Frank Cunningham from Lake Washington RC published a book comprising all his newsletter articles.
14:00 Rowers facing end of Life
Supporting sick rowers - we did a weekly quad outing which was gentle. Marlene's friend wanted to enjoy time on the water after a cancer diagnosis.
Keep line of sight in singles for safety. And wait for each other during the row. People enjoy having something to look forward to each week.
18.30 Keep active as rowing makes you stronger, physically. Psychological benefits - you are with friends, out in nature, on the water. Adapt your boat to suit their needs.
20 00 Cyclical sports are healing sports - calming effect on the nervous system. Pay attention to the small things as time becomes more precious.
There are many different types of masters training programs - for elite racers, for club racers, for fitness rowers, for return-to rowing.
In this episode understand the benefits of 'cross fit' versus the more traditional 'miles make champions' approach.
01:00 Types of training though year
01:30 The new "Spacer Placer" rowing Tool for pushing out spacer washers.
04:45 Types of training what is your goal? In a weekly cycle use a mix (polarised) low, high, medium pace intensity & strength training.
Different types of session you can choose.
Aerobic system stresses
HIIT is a very broad definition - it could be oxygen utilisation 4×5' or a power 30" on 90" off.
07:30 Plan your training through the year.
Your 2 key days a week training and insert your low intensity a strength in between.
High performance racers - you can insert Cross fit only if the workout is inserted in the right place & right way for your goal.
09:00 Cross fit workouts are intense. Prepare to do it.
As a master how careful do you need to be? To do intervals and explosive work and not get injured, you need to be strong and ready to do the workout. The faster you do things the larger the injury risk.
Does this type of workout fit your needs and goals? Also remember to check out your instructors - are they experienced and qualified?
Testing - speed of repetition amount in a given time.
12:30 make the right choices of training type to fit into your overall training.
Sport science reviews how to train your body. A word of warning - if you do 2x HlIT sessions you can't spend that time in the boat too.
16.20 Racers' training needs.
Train three times per week. Aerobic work for one session and two endurance sessions with one at a higher intensity. How high that is depends on time of year.
Use AT tempo endurance closer to the racing season. Oxygen utilisation or 1K / 4- 5min pieces. Speed and power workouts are shorter and quicker.
What stroke rate you want to race at?
18.00 Fitness rowers don't need extremely high intensity intervals. How skillful are you in the boat?
30 stroke pieces if you want to. Aerobic work is for fitness - combined with strength work in the gym.
19:45 Strength stimulates muscle metabolism. At the end of the session do 6x 30" on / 90" off or 20" on / 40" off.
Power works at the end of a strength session. Combination workouts.
21:00 Return to rowing rule of thumb is to approach it gradually to build tolerance.
Take it easy. Focus on technique and efficiency. Ensure your posture and body positions are correct. Hinge through the hips not the back.
22:50 Keep it fun and interesting focus on drills and steady rowing Pick a theme for the da to keep the interest and focus aligned.
Balance is lost as we age. How can rowers learn balance - in the boat, in life and physical balance? How to balance a quad scull.
03:00 Balance as you age.
Typically it changes around age 50. There is a loss of muscle mass - it affects co-ordination like walking and neuro-muscular aspects like hearing and vision as well.
04:45 Balance can be trained and maintained. Keep your muscles in good condition. Notice changes in your balance.
05:30 standing balance - it's more challenging.
08:30 Sitting balance. Use a swiss ball /physio ball.
Sit with hips and knees at 90 degrees. Arms to side in a T position. Lift one leg and extend it.
Does it challenge your balance?
Get comfortable doing this. Then raise both legs off the floor.
11:14 Try a V-sit, sit on the floor raise legs as well as torso. Balance on sit-bones. Can you balance?
13:00 How to balance a quad scull.
17.00 'Transitioning land to boat - getting into the boat. One leg squats help train strength.
Also concentric & eccentric motion. Lowering your weight to sitting is a good progressive exercise.
21:00 Why a 2x is easier to balance than a single scull.
The boat is wider - it sits in the water with more surface area of the hull under the water. A narrow beam is more sensitive.
23:00 Tension kills boat speed
What are the limits to masters rowing? Can we challenge ourselves more? Is comfort more important than skill? Rebecca and Marlene discuss technical skill challenges and physical challenges as you age. Risk versus rewards.
02:00 are limits being challenged now? Pay attention to how our bodies are changing. A class of masters who are high performance athletes exists. along with newcomers to the sport. Masters handicaps are less accurate for older athletes showing that masters are getting faster.
04:00 Head of the Charles results the top 50 year olds times were faster than 30 year olds and comparable to 40 year olds in recent years. They likely have more experience and more time to train.
07:00 I see people rowing in a comfort zone of technique, fitness and watermanship. Without coaching, people settle into habits. A good coach develops your skill to meet the challenge to get better. Marlene experiments every session.
11:00 The childlike approach to play and experimentation. Comfort in the boat is the goal. Doing tricks in the boat proves you are comfortable.
13:00 The pathway of learning technique. Coaches need this to keep athletes interested. Starting with the core skills. Grading in achievable small steps. Be an advanced waterman ship rower or sculler. Get in touch to see our technique pathway.
18:00 Buy the best equipment you can afford. Responsive equipment helps you row better.
