Training for the week beginning 22nd of February

Posted on 22/02/2016 by Travis Bentley

It’s looking like a pretty moderate sort of week, weather-wise, so there are no excuses not to get outdoors and train the house down. Most of you have at least a few weeks break before your next race so it’s time to lay the foundations for a great end to the season. If you’re planning a few weeks ahead go to our training calendar page for sessions beyond the end of the week.

Tuesday 23rd: Run interval training

Riversid Park, Woodbridge. Be ready to start by 6pm for a warm-up, some solid intervals to be finished by 7. As always the session will be modified based on your individual requirements and fitness level so don’t be intimidated, just come down to see what it’s all about.

Thursday 25th: Indoor cycle training

BYO turbo trainer and bike. 6:45pm for a 7pm start. 37 Brunswick Bend, Jane Brook. Total session time around 1hr finishing with a 5-10min transition run to cool down. Limited additional trainers are available, please contact us to reserve one for you.

Sunday 28th: Group ride

Meet at Yahava Coffee car park in the Swan Valley for 25km flat loops around the valley. As always the rule is that nobody will be left behind so bring your TT, road or mountain bike and complete as many or as few laps as you feel inclined. The group ride is meant to be an easy session, it is not a race. Bring cash for coffee and/or breakfast afterwards if you wish.

Training for the week beginning 15th of February

Interval run training

It’s looking pretty warm for the first half of the week so again please take care out there. We’ll do what we can to ease the effects for you at our sessions but remember to slip, slop, slap and sip while modifying your session if needed. Here are some tips on training in hot weather from Matt Fitzgerald of Triathlete Magazine.

Tuesday 16th: Run interval training

Ray Owen Reserve at 6pm for a warm-up, some solid intervals to be finished by 7. There is no minimum fitness level required as the session will be modified based on your individual requirements.

Thursday 18th: Indoor cycle training

Friday 19th: Fremantle Tri Club “Splash and Dash”

Fremantle Triathlon Club have invited all members and associates of Perth Hills Tri Club to join them in their “Splash and Dash” (swim/run) race at Coogee. Registration starts at 5:30 with the kids and juniors race kicking off at 6pm. Entry is free to all Perth Hills members and $1.50 for non-TWA members to cover insurance costs.

The tent will be up so come along and join the fun by supporting if you’re not racing. Post race bragging and excuse making is actively encouraged!

To plan your coming weeks sessions head over to our training calendar.
