About this listen
Episode 1: Training for the Challenge — Building Your Crew for HOTY
The Head of the Yarra isn’t just another regatta — it’s 8 kilometres of rhythm, teamwork, and endurance. In this episode, we break down how to prepare your crew for the challenge of Australia’s biggest head race.
Join me and Jennifer Pollock from Toowong Rowing Club, where we cover:
Why HOTY demands a different training approach
Crew selection and the importance of technical compatibility over raw power
Key training sessions: steady-state, rate control, and long race pieces
The coxswain’s role in building rhythm, trust, and confidence
Balancing different experience levels within a crew
Whether you’re a rower, coach, or coxswain, this episode will give you practical strategies to get the most out of your HOY preparation.
