Hopefully the lockdown will end as schedule after the weekend, but in the interim, Rowing Australia and Rowing Victoria have some initiatives to help people train.

It’s the third leg now, when we follow the coast of Africa from Mogadishu to Port Elizabeth and back up to Dakar. There’s been a heap of effort so far, well done! Thanks to everyone that’s logged some activities. Hopefully we will be back on the water soon.

If you’ve got a smart watch and logging your training data, have you thought about joining Barwon on Strava?

Now that we’ve made it to Broome, we’ve got to Singapore and now working our way across Asia.

Get involved with Virtual Erg sessions to stay connected during the shut down. There’s ways to share your live erg data online to keep you motivated.

We’re attempting to get from Geelong across to Perth and Broome, log your erg, bike and runs/jogs/walks to get us there.

Barwon is distributing a Club and Masters training program on Training Peaks. There is a mixture of activities and might be helpful for members who need a bit of guidance and inspiration to get their training on track.

If you want to kick start your Open and Underage season in 20-21, now is the time to start laying down the base. Sign up to Training Peaks and add Barwon as a coach to get training plans.

Practice social isolation together and join in with one of our Zoom Sessions! Get involved and train your core and on the erg, followed by some ZoomDrinks.

Sunday 5th April marks the first Virtual Regatta in what we hope to be a series of races whilst we can’t race and get on the water.

Running can be hard sport to get into if you haven’t done much running before. This program should help you get started.

It can be pretty hard to train by yourself some times. Share your successes by letting us know.

Geoff has put together a couple of workouts that anyone can do because they are based on your current 2000m split. Have a try and let us know how you go!

Join the Barwon Rowing Club on the Concept2 Logbook and subscribe to the workout of the day.
