Faster Podcast Interview with Dr Tony Rice, Rowing Australia
Dr Tony Rice is a legend in sports science and has been involved in sports science with Rowing Australia for more than two decades. Tony is the Head of Performance Support at Rowing Australia. Tony and I cover many topics, yet I was really curious to understand more about the Endurance Training Score (ETS) system that he developed, to quantify the specific training loads in rowing.
Tony covers in detail his thinking on how to breath in rowing for optimal performance. His experiments with the best race week taper, dynamic warm-ups and how to best activate the body to be ready to race.
Some fantastic insights into how the world’s very best prepare to race, and what we can learn and adapt from these insights.

Workout of the week
Endurance Builder
This weeks workout is aimed at those that want to improve their aerobic base. Improving your aerobic base, requires spending time exercising at or just below your aerobic threshold. For most rowers, this will be at 75% of peak heart rate.
90 minute endurance session
- 15 minutes on the erg bike
- 30 minutes on the ergo. Alternate between 5 min at SR 18 & 5 min at SR 20
- 15 minutes on the erg bike
- 30 minutes on the ergo. Alternate between 5 min at SR 18 & 5 min at SR 20
Focus on generating as much power and acceleration whilst getting enough recovery at the low rate to keep the heart rate at 75%. Alternate on the bike erg to break up the session. Maintain the heart rate on the bike. No bike? Do something else like a short jog outside.
Strength & Conditioning
This week’s workout from James Goodwin, is the kneeling overhead press with a resistance band. This will strengthen your shoulders, back and core. Can be done easily at home with a rubber band.
James is the head of performance sport for Swiss Rowing.
