I want some training direction but allot of resources are vague in their direction and ultimately direct towards paying for a program. It's hard to find generalised info for training sessions and rough outlines for spending time on the water.
e.g.
A few mates and I want to do a BOP in couple of months and want to meet once a week and train for it, we'll never win or be overly competitive, but want to get a base level of fitness to prevent cardiac arrest and worse, no post race beer before arriving home to crash on the couch. Do we mock a course, interval or head further down the coast and surf
Any tips or places to find info would be great. The distance stuff is easier, just paddle, paddle, paddle.

He has written training programs for many of the best paddlers from around the world like Travis Grant, Annabelle Anderson, Jamie Mitchell, Kelly Margetts, Lincoln Dews, Georges Cronsteadt etc. as well as for many of us mere mortals who are in training groups in WA, Gold Coast, Sunny Coast etc.
