Coached
A coach who knows your training, every week.
Your programme only tells you what to do. Coaching helps when it doesn't go to plan. On Coached you get your own Yamsquad coach who reads your sessions, gives you feedback and changes the plan when your recovery, results or life say it should.
A few quick questions. I'll reply within 2 days.

CB (me)
New PB after six years
Six years stuck on the same personal best. Consistent, targeted training finally broke it.
RK
Sub-7:30 goal → 6:28
Wanted to break 7:30 and laughed when I said we'd look at sub-7. Medalled at the British Indoors with a 6:28.
EG
2k: 7:01 → 6:42
Came over from running and chased rowing-machine world records. Set several in the 40+ category.
EH
Sub-7 and off to Princeton
Worked together to get under 7:30 for university recruiting, then kept going to sub-7.
JH
Zero to rowing at 55
Wanted to start safely. Now on the water and erging several times a week. His doctor asked how he's so fit.

Splits, rate, heart rate and how it felt all show how you are responding.
Reviewed and adjusted weekly
Feedback on your logs and changes when they are needed, not when a calendar says so.

What I coach
Getting faster takes more than a programme.
Fitness is one bit. Turning it into boat speed, fitting it round your life and getting it out on race day are the rest.
Your fitness
We test where you are, then train what actually needs improving. Not what everyone else is doing.
Your technique
Video reviews pick out the one or two changes that make the biggest difference, so fitness shows up as speed.
Your structure
Erg, water, weights and rest planned together around the time you've actually got.
Your race day
Pacing, prep and what to think when it hurts. So the work turns into a result.

A typical week
What being Coached actually looks like.
Monday
Your week is already in the app. You know what each session is for and how hard it should feel.
After each session
Log it. Splits, heart rate, how it felt. Your coach sees it and comes back to you if something stands out.
Midweek
Rubbish night's sleep or work blew up? Send a quick message and the plan moves round it.
Whenever
Questions about a workout, a stroke video, or a call if something needs proper talking through. As often as you need.
End of the week
Your coach looks at the whole week and sets up the next one from what actually happened.
Your first month
Week 1: getting to know you
Your history, your goals, what your week looks like and what has or hasn't worked before.
Week 1–2: testing
A couple of test pieces so the training starts from where you actually are.
Weeks 2–4: settling in
The plan gets tuned as your coach learns how you respond. This is where most people notice easy days finally feel easy.
End of month one
A look back at what changed and what we focus on next.
