New Zealand rowing teammates Eric Murray and Hamish Bond—often known simply as the Kiwi Pair—won two Olympic gold medals, eight world championships, and a streak of 69 races over eight years that only ended with Murray’s retirement in 2017.
Murray also broke four world records for indoor rowing. Though he logged countless hours on ergs—in rowing terminology, an indoor rowing machine is known as an “erg”—he said was never given any technique instruction on them, just the coaching mandate to log certain distances and times. But now, with the help of Asensei, an artificial intelligence-powered connected coaching platform, Murray has released a free six-week training program for the erg that’s catered to users of all abilities, helping them learn to row properly and avoid injury.
