We have taken Marlene’s coaching input on board and have been working hard on the ergs to ‘fix it’, videoing each other as well. We are definitely more together and sequencing better.
Early days as two of the crew are away but we actually get to go on the water today as the incessant rain has finally subsided.
We are enjoying working through this as a crew/group.

I’m looking forward to implementing your training over the next year.
It can be a struggle trying to figure out how to handle masters training with bits and pieces of advice here and there.
But with your structure that I see just in the first month, it’s going to help out greatly. It’s hard enough rowing let along making stuff up as I go along!

Marlene takes serious masters rowers seriously, and knows about striving and excellence in masters rowing, and helps us achieve our goals through smart training and hard work.

As a masters newcomer, I’m most interested in technique, then exercises to supplement rowing performance & injury prevention.

On the way to the erg sprints Friday night, in the car we listened to the Faster Masters February podcast. Thank you for that. My teammates loved it and we had great conversation afterward.

Faster Masters is definitely helping me – it is extremely hard to coach yourself sensibly.

Amazing thing – is that the Program is relevant – by which I mean it works to a plan and is very logical. And it actually has a lot of days each week on the program, not just two or three.

Hi Rebecca, As a relative newcomer to rowing (18 months regular club rowing after a few corporate rowing/learn to row programs at my son’s school boatshed, at age 55), I am finding your podcasts and the other Faster Masters resources absolutely invaluable. They always seem to answer any questions that I have when I don’t have our coach to hand. And I’m forever sending links of info to my crew mates.
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience and adding to the fabulous community of masters rowers worldwide.
Many thanks

I would give the training plans a five as they were exactly what I was looking for. I don’t see any obvious areas for improvement.

I rate it a 5 – wished I had this kind of direction 30 years ago! The strength program has been particularly helpful with the core and hips and I’ve learned a lot about how to engage the entire body with relatively small weights in what appears to be a muscle specific exercise (1/2 kneel OHP is a good example). In terms of suggestions, it would be helpful if we can get some guidance on cross training – for example, sometimes I use the spin bike for the long Cat 6 workouts but I am not sure where my pulse should be relative to my max for the workout (I try to keep it at 65 to 70% of max but it never quite feels like a workout at that level).
