Libby Costello and Sophia Walters met as teammates on the UCLA rowing team, but after graduation, they each struggled to reimagine what the sport would mean to them without the structure of Division 1 athletics. Years later, the two friends came back together with an audacious goal: to row self-supported across the Pacific Ocean. With the freedom of a month in the open ocean, the two friends reclaim their relationship to their shared passion.

Looking for a high quality rowing machine that provides a professional experience without the premium price tag? In this video, I share my honest review of the Merach NovaRow R50 after four months of daily use in my home gym. Discover why this air resistance rower is a fantastic alternative to more expensive models and how it can transform your fitness routine.The Merach R50 uses a sophisticated air blade system that delivers a smooth and consistent pull every time you row. Unlike water or magnetic systems, this fan based resistance mimics the feel of high end gym equipment like the Concept 2 but at about half the cost. Built with a durable chain and stout materials, this machine is designed for longevity and requires virtually no maintenance.One of the best parts about this rower is its versatility for the entire family. The footrests are fully adjustable to accommodate everyone from children to adults with large shoes. Plus, the seat is exceptionally cushioned for comfort during long sessions. If you are short on space, you will love how easily this machine comes apart to be stored in a closet or moved around using the built in wheels.I also dive into the tech features, including the computer and the mobile app that help you track your workouts and set new personal records. Whether you are a long distance trail runner like me or looking to support your kids in sports like volleyball and football, rowing offers a total body workout that hits your legs, core, and upper body all at once. I feel this is the best budget rower on the market.

Yesterday was national leave work early. Did you? Top 5 reasons why people give excuses to leave early. Raven has done them all. Rowing from California to Hawaii. Is that even possible? This woman is attempting to become the first American woman to ride solo across the biggest ocean in the world. Only done by 9 others before. Anna's daughter, Hayden, was surprised when she got to prom, and they sneakily breathalyzed her. Anna and Raven discuss the nutty ways people were kicked out of their proms! Spring is in full bloom- who better to discuss flowers, plants, and shrubbery than with Katie the garden lady! Check out her YouTube account at RiverBed Sedge! Anna is hitting the stage tonight! She will be presenting at an award ceremony but has run into a wardrobe issue. The size 2 dress she borrowed just zips. She can't zip it, other people can't zip it. So today, Raven attempted to do so. Speaking of the stage presence tonight, Anna's dad made her feel guilty about a tattoo she got when she was a teenager. Now she hates it and is trusting a sketchy $7 concealer to cover it up before she embarrasses herself even more tonight. If you know nothing about basketball and you WANT to know the top things to say in a crowded room to sound smart about the game, AJ Hoffmann joins Anna and Raven today to school Anna about how to not disappoint every basketball fan out there. A Florida teacher got arrested for her “senior quote” in the yearbook. Song lyrics she apparently didn't put there. Anna, Raven, Producer Justin, and Producer Sophia all share their quotes. Anna's may be worse- in theory. Grace and Jacob have been divorced for five years. They are both attending their daughter's middle school graduation, and he has planned to take his new girlfriend. She is 29 and their daughter hates her. She told him he can't bring her to the ceremony at the school, and he can't invite her to the lunch they have planned afterwards. Jacob says that he's in love and their daughter needs to learn to live with his decisions, including the girlfriend. He thinks that their daughter is 14, she's a child and he's an adult, he makes the decisions. Grace says he should respect his daughter and not make this event about him. TJ has a chance to win $1,800! All he has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!

World MS Day is marked globally on May 30, with this year's theme focusing on diagnosis. For many, receiving a multiple sclerosis diagnosis can be life-changing, bringing uncertainty and emotional challenges. Each person's experience of MS is different, and the condition is often invisible. Marty Fennell, who lives with MS, is leading “Looping the Loop” — a 50km open-water rowing challenge around Loop Head to raise funds for local MS support. Organised by Loop Head Rowing Club, crews will row from Kilkee around the Loop Head peninsula, past the lighthouse, and on to Carrigaholt along the Shannon Estuary. Marty joined Derrick Lynch to share his story and highlight the challenge. We were also joined by John McDonald, regional community worker with MS Ireland, to discuss plans for a new MS Ireland Resource Centre in Limerick. The centre, which will support people in Clare and North Tipperary, aims to provide a welcoming space focused on improving the well-being of those living with MS and other neurological conditions, and is expected to open later this year.
Three cheap and simple hacks to help your sculling. Small clever fixes to real problems that scullers deal with all the time. One for your head, your wrists and your blade depth. Timestamps 01:00 Sculling Hacks for self-coaching Sculling technique faults are very subtle and you can't always feel them from inside the boat. These three hacks move that feedback from external to the boat (from your coach) to inside (you can feel changes yourself and can act on them). 01:50 Hat brim position If you move your head during the stroke, this is the hack for you. Ideally you want your head to be in line with your spine during the stroke and to stay in line when you swing your body back/forwards. The head is heavy - 15 lbs or 7 kg. Wear a cap with a stiff brim so that you can see the horizon from under the cap brim. The horizon is always horizontal - pick a single point to watch (a tree, a house, the back of the head of the person in front). Keep an eye on the horizon point while you row - this will give you clues about how your head moves. 05:30 Wrist tape When feathering in sculling you want to use your fingers and not your wrist. Take a piece of tape from your forearm across your wrist towards your knuckles - masking tape / electrical tape / micropore are all suitable. If you move your wrist it will pull on your arm hairs and serve as a reminder. As a rule of thumb tape 20 minutes before you start rowing - this gives time for the adhesive to bond with your skin. 07:30 Shaft tape A hack for those whose oar spoons go too shallow, too deep or corrugate through the stroke. Tape the oar so that when the oar is sitting in the water at the correct depth, you can just see white tape on the oar shaft. How to position the tape - sit in the boat with it level and put the oar, squared, into the water carefully so you don't get the shaft wet. Let go of the handles and the blade will naturally sit at the correct depth. The blade will tend to sit 1 cm above the water surface (this gets covered up when you are rowing as you push a mound of water in front of the spoon). Track where the shaft gets wet and that's where you put the white tape. Measure the distance from the spoon insertion point and you can then put tape on other oars at the same place. As you row, the white tape is then above the water surface while you are rowing - adjust your handle height so that the tape stays visible.
When Megan Roark first learned to row at 12 years old, she couldn't have known the sport would one day shape not only her athletic identity, but her approach to medicine. Years later, through her training and practice as a naturopathic doctor, Megan has come to appreciate rowing not just for its physical demands, but for its meditative qualities, too. But rowers are famously stubborn: pushing through pain, skipping recovery work, showing up to early practices under-fueled and dehydrated. In this episode, Megan shares a holistic approach to caring for the athlete as a whole for long-term health and performance.

In January 2026, Taryn Smith became the third American woman to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean, completing a 46 day Atlantic Ocean crossing in open water conditions. With no rowing experience beforehand, she leaned on a foundation built through world travel, the New York City Marathon, and summers exploring Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains.

Three cheap and simple hacks to help your sweep rowing. Small clever fixes to real problems that sweep rowers deal with all the time. Timestamps 00:45 What is a rowing hack? Tricks and techniques for your own rowing - a low cost, improvised fix to a persistent problem. The best hacks give you physical feedback in the moment as a constant reminder so you don't have to keep something front of mind. Moving you into unconscious competence. Learn more about unconscious competence and the 4 stage adult learning model https://fastermastersrowing.com/rowing-technique-makes-my-brain-hurt/ 02:00 Elastic band on the oar handle If your inside hand moves up and down the handle - it drifts. This affects the amount of effort / load you can put onto the oar from square off to the finish. Take an elastic band and wrap it around the oar handle so it sits on the outside of your hand next to your little finger. If the band is tight, when your hand starts to move it won't roll the elastic band - you'll feel it and realise if your hand has moved off position. If your hand goes the other way, put the elastic band next to your forefinger instead. First check you have the correct spacing between your hands first. 04:00 The coxing plank When you have someone who is too large to fit into the coxswain's seat - use the coxing plank. A plank of wood sitting across the transom / sax board of your eight. We put a sculling seat on top so it's comfortable to sit on. Put your feet into the bottom of the boat. And add a lanyard to attach to the steering wires in case the plank moved or fell off and it remained attached to the boat. The cox can then see above the heads of the athletes giving greater line of sight for coaching the crew. If your crew has to take turns steering the eight - this is the hack for you. 06:30 Wrist tape If you feather with both hands and twist your wrist to turn the oar when squaring and feathering - this is for you. The correct sweep feather action is to allow the oar handle to turn inside your hand grip for the outside hand, while only your inside hand wrist rises or lowers to turn the handle. Take a piece of tape - sellotape/scotch tape or micropore or masking tape or electrical tape. Run it from your knuckle across your wrist and to your lower forearm. The idea is that it sticks to the hairs on the back of your hand so when you turn your wrist (and you shouldn't) it pulls on the hairs. This hurts.... you feel the tape tighten and serves as a reminder not to move your wrist.

Rowing has a way of getting into your system and shaping everything that comes after. For Ruben Rapi, that started when he was seven years old in Greece, and led him all the way to the U23 Swedish National Team. But it was stepping away from elite competition that gave Ruben a new perspective on rowing. Not just as a sport, but as a community that, in many places, is struggling to grow or adapt. Today, Ruben and his brother Ahmet – also a former Swedish National Team member – are working with clubs around the world to strengthen the foundations that help them thrive. This conversation goes beyond performance. It's about what rowing clubs actually need to succeed—and how small, intentional shifts can make a big difference.

Starting a company feels like eating glass for breakfast. Every morning. Olympic rowing hopeful turned five-time founder Patrick Sweeney sits down with Joe De Sena to break down exactly what it takes to cross the belief gap that kills most startups before they ever gain traction. Patrick went from setting rowing records at UNH to finishing second at the Olympic Trials in the single scull, then carried that same pain tolerance straight into building and exiting technology companies. He explains how the OODA loop, a military fighter pilot doctrine, can replace startup chaos with a weekly cadence. Patrick also unpacks why 95% of top CEOs admit to impostor syndrome and how shared belief maps prevent the illusion of alignment that tears founding teams apart. Things You Will Learn: Build a shared belief map that exposes hidden misalignment before it breaks your team. Run weekly OODA loop stand-ups that replace startup chaos with structured cadence. Apply the belief gap framework to test hypotheses, track market-product fit, and know when to hit the kill switch. Tools & Frameworks Covered: OODA Loop Stand-Up: A 30-minute weekly cadence to observe, orient, decide, and act so founders stop reacting and start executing. Shared Belief Map: A team alignment exercise that surfaces hidden disagreements between cofounders and forces clarity on core beliefs versus testable hypotheses. Belief Gap Framework: A model for tracking internal believers (employees, partners) and external believers (customers, investors) to measure whether your startup is crossing from conviction to traction. If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses. Patrick Sweeney built a life that looked successful on paper: serial entrepreneur, investor, multiple exits, but beneath it lived a quiet, persistent fear that kept him playing small. A rare leukemia diagnosis forced a confrontation with mortality and sparked a complete mindset rewiring: fear wasn't the enemy, it was fuel. Since beating cancer, Patrick has turned that philosophy into action, setting cycling world-firsts on Kilimanjaro and Elbrus, competing in extreme endurance races, authoring the Wall Street Journal bestselling book Fear Is Fuel, and teaching leaders how to convert anxiety into calculated risk, resilience, and bold execution.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Rowing exposes your weak links fast: sloppy wrists, rushed recovery, too much layback, and suddenly your “cardio day” turns into cranky elbows, tight hip flexors, or a low-back flare-up. We want trainers and everyday lifters to use the rower as a real conditioning tool, not a pain generator, so we walk through the exact cues we coach for a clean, powerful stroke and how to fix the most common errors.We start with a simple form breakdown you can apply immediately: hands on the outside of the handle, wrists flat, elbows out and back, and a consistent finish with the handle coming in just below the chest. Then we dial in the layback target (think 11 o'clock or 1 o'clock) so you stay braced and efficient without overleaning. The recovery gets special attention too, because sequencing is everything: push the handle down and away with straight arms, lean forward, and keep the handle traveling over your knees before your legs bend.From there, we zoom out into a trainer-friendly needs analysis: the muscles and joints doing the work, the planes of motion involved, and the overuse injuries that show up when tissue capacity can't match volume. You'll also hear practical accessory work ideas, including isometric elbow strengthening, hip flexor work with dorsiflexion, and frontal plane stability drills to keep your hips resilient. We wrap with rowing bioenergetics and nutrition coaching basics, including carb guidance and when glucose gels make sense for longer efforts, plus details on our monthly rowing challenge, leaderboard, and the $500 prize.Subscribe, share this with a trainer friend, and leave a review so more coaches can stop guessing and start coaching better.

Rowing is loosely defined as the act, or the art, of moving a boat through water with two oars, powered by a human. As a professional river guide, Kelsey Pfendler rows boats down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. In early May of 2026, she will embark on a 2,500 mile row across the Pacific Ocean from south of San Francisco, California, to the islands of Hawaii. Kelsey will make this journey solo, taking about 80 days. Her vessel, Lily, is built for the task. She has a small cabin for sleeping and reading charts and weather and communicating with her land crew. Why is she rowing solo across the ocean? There are many answers. One answer is to bring attention to the Whale Foundation, a guide support organization focused on Grand Canyon guide health. The other reasons? She tells us why. This is her second Mid Pacific crossing, but the first solo. What she learned on the first crossing brings more depth to the power of the solo crossing. yourowkelsey.com Whale Foundation @yourowkelsey TikTok: @yourowkelseyTracking Kelsey's first row Lily, Kelsey's boat THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree
Bob was experiencing an acute health decline - coronary stent; stroke, Heavy Leg and Crowned Dens Syndromes. He took Toby Keith's song to Clint Eastwood to heart and hasn't let the old man in. Bob has been athletic most of his life and these conditions were new, so he decided to find out if they could be reversed, and they all have. Bob grew up in a rough neighborhood and learned how to handle himself - Golden Gloves LH title at 17, wrestling, crew, running, power lifting, etc., up through his 70's. In his own research, he jumped into exercise and a carnivore diet all at once after retirement from a 65 year run in his holistic dental practice.

Greg Anderson is a former Army Ranger and deputy U.S. Marshal with two decades in law enforcement and combat, a 3rd-degree black belt, and the owner of one of the most thriving Jiu-Jitsu academies in the Pacific Northwest. His first book, Courage Through Adversity, just dropped. He's also about to row to Hawaii. The Row West Pacific expedition is a four-man team rowing a Ronic 45 from the U.S. coastline to Hawaii — no motor, no support vessel, roughly 60 days at sea. Greg explains why he bought the boat, what 3-on/3-off looks like when there's nowhere to stop, and what the trip is actually about. It's not the craziest thing he's signed up for, but it might be the hardest. We also cover what happens when local government decides your Jiu-Jitsu gym is an illegal operation. The answer involves a $40,000 parking assessment, federally protected buttercups, and a mandatory ratio of rhododendrons to parking spaces. Greg pushed back. It worked. He talks about the book — why he wrote it, what he was actually willing to admit in it, and why authenticity isn't a marketing word. Then we get into cops and Jiu-Jitsu, lying about military service, wealth building, and where he thinks the country is headed.
