Additional run and cycle training sessions

Some of us doing our Level 2 coaching qualification are planning some additional training sessions as part of our qualification process. The sessions are being posted as events on the website, but we wanted to give you a bit more detail here as well.

You do not need to take part in all the sessions although the sessions will be progressively linked and will build on things covered in previous sessions. This is an ideal opportunity to cover base training in February and early March.

I also need 3 people to fill in some additional details so I can profile them as athletes (nothing scary at all, I just need some additional details). Please let me know below if you would be up for this.

Beginners Bike sessions in Richmond Park – Ideal for new members or those nervous of joining club rides

60 min session in Richmond Park (either meet at Richmond Park at 09.30 meeting point: car park at Roehampton Gate, or join an uncoached ride from Clapham Common tube station at 08.40).
Sunday 1^st Feb, 8^th Feb and 15^th Feb.
The sessions will cover braking, cornering, hill climbing, descending and transition plus building fitness.
Aimed at beginners but anyone is welcome to attend.

Run technique and fitness in Brockwell Park

60 min pre work session
7am on Wednesdays from 4 February - 11th March at Brockwell Park by the Lido
The sessions will include run technique as well as building base endurance and speed and should be an ideal preparation for the Fleet Half marathon.
Suitable for all levels.
We are keen to trial a pre work session, as some people have asked for more early sessions, please do sign up so we can check there is sufficient demand to make this work.

We will also be taking some swim sessions but these will be run within existing training sessions.

This is an ideal opportunity to cement those New Year resolutions and to help you achieve your goals for 2015 – we look forwards to seeing you at the sessions! Any questions, do shout!

The first 2 run sessions are now up in the events (you'll have to scroll through to the end to get to them!). These will both start at 7 because of the light, but if its getting lighter earlier then the following ones could move forwards a bit. Will confirm nearer the time,

Hi all, for anyone planning to come to the first in the beginners bike sessions, I've just posted this on the event, please do post up anything you'd be interested in covering on the event.

... it would be good to get an idea of what sort of things you would be interested in covering so that we can make sure you get as much as possible out of them (bear in mind we're not allowed to coach on the bikes, so we cant spend the whole time doing laps of the park, but we will certainly build in some group riding work, along with some more skills focussed and confidence building work). And this is a beginners focussed session, so no question is too silly, this is your chance to ask!
