Training Intensity for Masters Rowers with Dr Charlie Simpson

Excited to share my latest episode of the Faster Podcast, this
time with Dr Charlie Simpson.


Charlie is a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science at
Oxford Brookes University and well known for his publications.

In this episode, Charlie and I talk about how masters can train
with intensity to improve their 1k sprint and head distance
racing. Why strength training is important and how to go about
it. Supplements and nutrition, what works and what doesn't. And a
lot more... It's a long episode, and perfect for a long indoor
endurance session.
