The time has come!
Are you ready to row 5km? I’m hoping so!
These last 8 weeks, you have been true Dark Horses following a progressive plan (which seems like a lifetime ago right now), and you are now ready to sit down, strap in and get ready to see if all that hard work has paid off.
I’ve got a good feeling about this.
Huge legs and sculpted abs, this is a look many of us try to emulate.
The arms of Oli Zeidler, or the abs of Dark Horses’ own Shane Farmer, can be pretty awe-inspiring for anyone, not just in the rowing world, but how easy is it to get into that shape, and is it something we should even try to achieve?
In a sport where doing more is commonplace, and you are only a click away from mega rowalongs like this… (I need to practice more if I’m going to be keeping up Shane!!)
You don’t need to be an elite performer to see the benefits of adopting a growth mindset and deliberate practice (high-quality reps and focused effort on a specific task). The mere introduction of taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture can often yield untold results in both training and daily life.
Game day player or long-term planner?

Why you might ask? Well as many many hours of reading research and then many more hours trialling the sessions and theories has … Read more
It is impossible to describe the typical rower, so training is bound to differ from one athlete to the next. However, there are some key principles that all rowers will adhere to. Here at DH we always want to keep things simple so this week the name of the game is to give you the … Read more
Whether you are coming to the end of this months C2 Fall team challenge or looking to take your training from the occasional row along to more structured goal-specific training. Now is the time to start switching gears and thinking about your performance if your goal is to see structured training in full effect by … Read more
People who have just started rowing often expect to improve more quickly than is really feasible. This inevitably leads to frustration, particularly when you cannot row the same split times or strokes per min you were hoping for. This is extremely common with newcomers to any sport and can often lead to people giving up … Read more
Rowing is a unique physical activity. If you haven’t been on the erg in a few weeks/months or even longer, the key thing to remember is your body requires time to re-acclimate, even if you’ve been emulating rowing motions in your daily workouts. Let’s ease back into it, shall we? This week, regardless how excited … Read more
