OUTINGS
Our outings take place at the University of London Boat Club (ULBC), in Chiswick, on the River Thames and, for the most part, are led by our coach. These will typically last 1.5-2 hours, including getting the boat out and putting it away.
ERGS
'Ergs' are our rowing machine sessions, which take place on LSE campus. We typically do these on weekday mornings, before classes start and often follow them with a fourth floor breakfast! Sessions take place within a 1 hour window.
Strength & conditioning
We have recently began to book out the new gym in the Marshall Building, on LSE campus. These sessions last 1 hour and consist of a series of strength-based exercises and core training.
club cARDIO
Every Monday morning at 8am, the whole club meets on campus for a run. There are several routes depending on fitness. This is a great way to bring everyone together at the start of the week and always ends a breakfast all together.
At LSERC, we understand our members have various commitments outside of rowing and, as a result, are very flexible with our training schedules! In the run up to races it will be important to stick to the training plan and attend regular outings but, for the most part, you are free to create a schedule that works for you. Below we will outline a typical week's training for each of our squads but please note that this is just a guideline.
