Re-Live Zoom Class of April 11, 2026

Today, we worked again on the connection at the catch. Neither slow nor fast – it has two important steps – one is quick an soft, the other one move a heavier mass than your own body.

Re-Live Zoom Saturday Class of April 4, 2026

Re-Live Online Rowing Classes

This is another one of these basic “row-like-a-pro” sessions, where I slowly started to prepare my athletes for a different approach. It worked well, though I will need to repeat it.

Video Analysis of the Mens Boat Race 2026

Rowing Racing

The 2026 Mens Boat Race was spectacular in many ways. Cambridge probably had one of their fastest crews in a very long time, and Oxford still closed the gap compared to last year. From the heroic push despite being behind to the rough conditions and their beautiful rowing style, this race had it all. In

Optimum handle height at the catch helps with lat extension into the finish – Sat Class of March 28, 2026

Re-Live Online Rowing Classes

If your handle height is optimised at the catch, then your lat extension during the drive is much easier. And usually, the handle height should be higher than you think. In this session we determine what the right height is and where exactly the energy of the resistance should enter your core.

How to keep your arms stretched and passive at the catch – Re Live Saturday Zoom, March 21, 2026

Re-Live Online Rowing Classes

A lot of rowers bend their arms at the catch, lift their shoulders, pivot their upper bodies, just to find connection. Rather than “forcing” that connection, you have to let it “occur”. This session focuses on that, and it will not be the last one.

Live training session – 3x4min at 80% lung capacity (Sat Zoom, March 14, 2026)

Re-Live Online Rowing Classes

In the most recent session, we worked on the very much individual level of 80-90% of your lung capacity. This is not heart rate, this is not stroke rate, not even Watts. The idea is to get a feeling for how far you can push it, before your breathing becomes hectic – and then stay

+20 Watts with looser upper torso – Re-Live Zoom Class Feb 28, 2026

Re-Live Online Rowing Classes

This time we worked on the looser upper torso again. It is so important that I will prioritise this topic for the next few sessions as well, each time in a bit of a different context and with different wordings. One of our athletes said after the session that he had gained 10 Watts during

3x 1000m at SR 24 – 27 (Zone 7)Today we did 3 times 1000m at Zone 7. If you are not part of team aramtraining, let me explain: Zone 7 equals a stroke rate of 24 – 27, if your typical mid race stroke rate for a 1k or 2K is between 30 and 32.
