WHO THIS CHALLENGE IS FOR: This 14-day intensive program is designed for paddlers of all levels who are ready to commit to daily improvement. Whether you're a recreational paddler looking to build proper fundamentals or an intermediate paddler aiming to break through performance plateaus, TEK PADDLE CHALLENGE will meet you where you are and elevate your performance.

WHAT TO EXPECT: You will begin and end the program with a 500m test. Each week features 4 focused ≈60 minute session combining power development and paddling-specific conditioning. You'll progressively build from aerobic systems into sprint work to capture the dual nature of dragon boat paddling. The gains will also transfer to outrigger disciplines.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
Access to water (ideal) OR a paddle ergometer
Your paddle
Resistance bands (light and medium)
A way to record your technique (smartphone or camera)
Heart rate monitor

COMMUNICATION: Participants receive the workout instructions on the Training Peaks App. Join our Paddle Skool online community where you can share progress, ask questions, and receive feedback from fellow paddlers. I'll re-share photos/videos posted with the #TekPaddleChallenge hashtag weekly.

TESTIMONIALS: "After completing Tek's power-focused program, my paddle erg scores improved by 12 seconds on my 500m test. The hip drive techniques completely transformed how I generate power through the stroke." - Michael, Dragon Boat Paddler

"I was always the 'technique' paddler on my team but lacked power. Tek's program helped me connect my upper and lower body, and now I can maintain power through the entire race without fading." - Sarah, OC6 Paddler

"As an older paddler, I thought my power days were behind me. The TEK PADDLE CHALLENGE program pushed me to use proper body mechanics instead of just arm strength. My coach moved me from the back of the boat to the engine room after just three weeks!" - James, Senior B Paddler
