Our Training Plan
While preparing our training for the row, we realised that there was very limited resources and research about the specifics of training for such a long ocean row. The data we did find, was very hollistic and spoke mainly about the stratgy behind the programming but we couldn’t find a specific example. Even more, we couldn’t find any examples of 15-month training programs for any other endurance sport. Therefore, we decided to publicly release our training program and share it with the world! Anyone who is attempting a 15-month endurance expedition can get practical insight into a training plan (press on image)
As always, we want to learn so if anyone has feedback on our training or wants to get involved, send us a message via Instagram
