How will this help you?

It will save you time

My programs are tried and tested. By me and the many people I've coached for the very same challenge you're about to undertake. It flat out works! I've kicked out the clutter over years of rowing and coaching to deliver you the most time efficient, bang-for-buck program possible. Your race is hard enough, save yourself the hassle of trying to coach yourself and save that energy for the actual work. 

It will keep you safe

The most important thing? It's not hitting a PB, it's not beating your mates, it's not even finishing the event. Because you can't do any of those things if you can't - get to the start line fit, healthy and motivated. My programs build you up slowly, allowing your body time to adapt to the training and time to recover from each workout. If you push too hard too early, or too hard too late you run the risk of burning out, getting injured or being over cooked come race time. 

You get fast (informed) answers to your training and racing questions

I'm on 24/7 email contact, plus I often send training tips and tricks, and my answers to frequently asked questions. It's much faster to ask me and get a real answer that considers your particular race and your stage of preparation. You can easily be led astray reading online articles that are general in nature or no necessarily applicable to where you're at in terms of ability and event. 

Give you a realistic goal based on ethical preparation 

During your preparation we'll gather the data to give you an informed opinion about what your race goals should and a strategy to get you there. The problem with technology these days is, people get an idea in their head and try to execute their race based on the athlete they think they are, not the athlete they actually are. Throughout your preparation I'll have deliberate check points that will indicate what you should be aiming for come the big day. 

It makes training more enjoyable 

Your training will be varied and incremental. So you're not doing the same thing all the time and you'll feel yourself progress as you work through each week. The reassurance of productivity helps motivation and will keep you on track. We don't 'sell out' for fun but the variation helps keep you engaged and displays the full breadth of rowing training.

Have you rowing fast

We use the perfect mix of speed and endurance to have to 'cherry ripe' for your event. My High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) sessions will help to improve your lactic threshold and my LSD (long slow distance) rows will give you the stamina to 'stay' into the latter stages of your race. 

What will happen if you DON'T get this program?

There's three common approaches to rowing training:

1) Go it alone. It seems simple enough, it's just rowing training. Right? That's what I thought, at first. You'd be surprised how many people with this mentality come to grief. Either through, misguided training efforts, too much or too little work in preparation, thinking their tenacity will mitigate the need for a proper preparation.

2) Google. Yes it's true. Everything I'm going to tell you would live somewhere on the internet. But the internet is a big place so if you do find what your looking for, there's a big possibility it won't be suited to your level of ability and stage of preparation. There's also the distraction of too much information when all you wanted is a training program. I can save you the head clutter so you can trust in my program and just row. 

3) Row with me. For all those reasons, it just makes sense. I promise you'll get more value out of the program than you would have ever thought. You're really making money!

Frequently asked questions...

Q. This is my first time, is this the right course for me?

A. Yes. We get a lot of first-timers and these programs suit them well. Whether you're just rowing for fun but want to get the most out of your training or you're intent on a certain time and need some closer coaching? There's something here for you.

Q. If I buy this now and, let's say, life get's in the way, can I use the training program again when I'm ready? 

A. Yes. We're understanding of life problems. Trust me, I've had my fair share of, "Yep, I'll run this race no sweat..." all of a sudden, injury, illness, work, travel arises. Sometimes you just can't get a run at it. Literally. Good news, these programs are yours for life. And once you have access  to the document, it's live, so you get of of my updates, improvements and value adds along the way. They're getting better all the time and we hope to benefit you.

Q. If my program says to run on a particular day, but I can't, will you change the program to suit me. 

A. Yeahhh and Nnno. Runners on Personalised and Marathon Mentor will get their program absolutely tailored to them and their schedule. However, runners on Basic are going to receive the generic programs with sessions on typical days e.g. Intervals on Tuesdays. Part of the skill of being a runner though is being able to take responsibility for your program and "move stuff around" to suit you. So long as you're getting the weekly work done, you can mis up the days. (Be sure to allow time to recover from each workout however.)

Q. If I buy a program and don't feel it's right for me can I get a refund? 

A. Yes. The 'Coaches Promise' 30 day money back guarantee is available on all the programs. I will refund you money without hesitation.  

Q. Do I get physical running sessions included in my purchase?

A. No and Yes. These programs are 100% online but if you live in the great city of Sydney, you're welcome to join our Tuesday Intervals squad for FREE for the duration of your program. It's much easier to get the hard work done in a group. So come on down. If you live elsewhere, you can check into our Facebook group and my Instagram page and leave a comment of your workout. This boosts the camaraderie and accountability.

About your coach...

I compete in and coach running at all distances from 800 metres to Marathon. But the Marathon is - in my mind - the Holy Grail. The oldest, most notable distance race of all. I want to help you realise the dream of finishing a marathon or perhaps even running your Personal Best. 

Over recent years, I've trialled these programs, had my athletes train and compete using them and each time I've improved the content and the delivery. Making the training worthwhile and suitable to the difficulty of your challenge. I think here you'll find something the works, in keeping you interested and engaged, gets your fit for the race, doesn't burn you out and delivers on race day. 

No doubt these are my best programs so far and the better is yet to come. 

See you running, Sean.
