CLUB SESSIONS
Monday EVENING SWIMM
Taking place from 8 pm at Beechwood School in Slough. Monday is a 1hr session with a coach on hand to set the agenda. Lanes are responsible for their own timing, and attendees would be expected to be able to swim with some level of competence, but all speeds are catered for with a tailored program.
Please Note: It is a condition of attending the coached swim sessions that attendees must be able to swim a distance of 100 meters continuously. Those that are unsure or think they might need swim tuition to be able to do so, should contact the club to arrange a review. We can offer private swimming lessons if required.
TUESDAY EVENING RUN
TUESDAY EVENING YOGA
Held each week in Windsor and led by our own qualified instructor, Louise. This session is great for focusing on your flexibility and core strength which is beneficial in all areas of the Triathlon. This session starts at 7.30 pm and usually lasts 60mins. It deliberately takes place after the run session (in the same vicinity) to help promote post-exercise stretching and the session is aimed with athletes in mind. Contact the club for more details.
Wednesday evening spinning
Using our club owned spinning bikes and homegrown instructors we have up to two Wednesday night Spin sessions. These are booked in advance through the club distribution email. These sessions are based around intervals of high and low intensity and set to music. When the evenings become light enough we run brick (bike-run interval training) session instead in preparation for the Wednesday night cycle rides. Sign-up is based on a weekly poll and sessions may be added or removed as demand changes
WEDNESDAY EVENING CHAIN GANG RIDE
Each week the rides are confirmed using the club email distribution or a WhatsApp group. Similar to the Saturday ride you are expected to be of a reasonable fitness level/cycle skill level before riding with one of the groups. If in doubt, please check with the chairman or one of the coaches.
Thursday evening swim
training program is designed to be phrased throughout the year.
Please Note: It is a condition of attending the coached swim sessions that attendees must be able to swim a distance of 100 meters continuously. Those that are unsure or think they might need swim tuition to be able to do so, should contact the club to arrange a review. We can offer private swimming lessons if required.
Saturday morning ride
You are expected to be of a reasonable fitness level/cycle skill level before riding with one of the groups. Please ensure you are self-sufficient with spare tube, tyre levers and pump as a minimum, and your bike is capable of holding together!
If you are new to cycling in a group or are unsure of which ride is most suitable, please feel free to contact us and/or to book onto one of our “Introduction to cycling” session which are run on request by members. It is delivered by one of our accomplished riders on an informal Q&A basis.
SUNDAY LONG RUN
Each week, a club member will usually offer to lead and host a long run on a Sunday morning. Great motivation for getting out and going that little bit further than ’20mins around the block’. Start locations vary from week to week to try and keep things interesting. Most runs will be between 60-90mins, with loops designed to allow people to pick the point at which they drop out. Each week the host and route is communicated by email. This is a great free way to come and meet a few team members, if you are considering joining BTS.
