After a well deserved break for the holidays, Megunticook Rowing kicks off again with a five-day-a-week series of rowing fitness sessions on January 6th in their training facility at MidCoast Recreation. Coaches Sam Abbott and Will Schaetzke have put together a comprehensive agenda that includes core work, strength training, and of course erg workouts – both steady state and speed work.
In addition, incoming board president Hugh Brock, to ensure the world dominance of Megunticook Rowing going forward, has donated a TR-H – https://last500com – to the club. The TR-H tunes your rowing stroke while building strength exactly where you will want it as in when you’re passing an 8 going under Eliot Bridge. It will be a key part of our strength training this winter season! Want to use it? Show up for winter training with Will and Sam!
All ages, levels and abilities welcome! All sessions are FREE to Megunticook Rowing adult members and current Varsity and Club rowers – please just add the sessions to your attendance plans in iCrew – see https://icrew.club/memberportalpanel?opentab=plans – so Sam and Will know you’re coming. Not a member, check out our various membership levels including Winter Training and join today! https://megunticookrowing.org/membership/ Once a member someone from the Club will contact you about iCrew.
Session times are as follows:
Monday 5:30-7 p.m.: Sam will lead a mixed strength training, core, and steady state erg session to kick off your week.
Tuesday 5:30-7 a.m.: Will starts your day off right with his trademark mix of yoga-inspired calisthenics and erg pieces.
Wednesday 5:30-7 p.m.: Sam is back with a steady-state erg workout including an emphasis on core fitness.
Thursday 5:30-7 a.m.: Will takes on strength training, including the TR-H, in case you weren’t already sore enough.
Friday 5:30-7 p.m.: Sam feels the Need for Speed. Check your erg times with this speed work session every week. 2k-day keeps the doctor away!
