Feedback needed on possible new strength and conditioning session and swim session

Hi all,

I’m looking into options for training sessions from Jan until the timetable change over in March/April and want to get your feedback. Please post your preferences below if you think you would regularly attend the sessions.

Firstly for a new strength and conditioning session (see more below) at the Castle Leisure centre (on Elephant and Castle ‘roundabout’,SE1 6FG).

Options are either

  1. Wed 7am-8am or
  2. Thursday 8am-9am

I am also looking into possible alternatives for the Wed eve swim session. Attendance has been good recently so it may well stay as it is but I want to ensure we are meeting the needs of as many members as possible so could you let me know your preferences between:

  1. Current session, Wed 8.30pm -9.30pm West Norwood Leisure Centre, 25 Devane Way, London SE27 0DF
  2. Castle Leisure centre, Thursday 7am-8am, Elephant & Castle ‘roundabout’, SE1 6FG
  3. Castle Leisure centre, Wednesday 7am-8am, Elephant & Castle ‘roundabout’, SE1 6FG

Obviously there is some overlap between timings for the S&C and swim sessions, so please let me know if you would plan to attend both/your preference so I can take this into account reviewing the voting.

More on S&C:

Strength and conditioning sessions will include a range of:

-          Mobility work

-          Weights and body weight exercises (a range of weights will be available)

-          Core and stabilising exercises

Regular strength and conditioning for triathletes can lead to increased performance through:

-          Overcoming the risk of injuries caused by muscular imbalances combined with repetitive overuse

-          Improved endurance through stronger muscles and ability to hold better form

-          Improved efficiency through increased mobility, coordination, agility, strength, power, stability and balance

All of which will hopefully make you a fitter and faster triathlete.

S&C on Wednesday is good. Not sure if I go for another swim, only change from the Tuesday am session. Thursday would be an alternative date for me

Thanks Lucy this is great.

S&C = Option 1. Although, as others have mentioned, any chance for it being closer to Brockwell, Herne Hill, West Norwood, Clapham or Brixton would be great...

Swim = Option 1 

Thanks :)

Hi Lucy, all these options look good to me as are either near my house or on my way to work. Thanks for organising. S

As I don't have to head for the office desk option 2 on S&C sounds good but I expect option 1 is more realistic for workers - poor things.

Swimming option 1 is still attractive, then I can justify not doing spinning which is so boring, although the coaching is fabulous.

Hi Lucy

I'd opt for option 1 for both the swim and S+C.

I've been attending the Wednesday night swim and its great fun and getting a good attendance.

Simon

Thanks! Swim: option 3 and then option 2 :-)

I've just noticed our normal Pilates Session isn't on The Events List ? I cant make this week, but normally I go. I find the Session really beneficial & good fun. Any reasons ? or is it The New IT Man Paul Connor again ;-) 

Sorted now, thanks for pointing it out Paul 

Thanks for sorting Lucy - like Paul W I find these sessions excellent - but am sadly currently having to miss them - good intentions of doing this sort of thing in your own time never really happens (and of course without someone to keep a beady eye out the temptation to cheat is ...)

Option 1 for both for me please Lucy.

S&C - option 1
Swimming - option 2&3

Later strength and conditioning class on Thursdays at 8-9am would suit me better, but realise that this might be too late for others.

Current Wednesday evening swim session at West Norwood better for me than E&C early morning sessions.
