On this page you can find information about the different ways to train for each of the disciplines of triathlon. N.B. Page under construction - more to follow soon.
NOVICE TRIATHLETES START HERE!
If you are just starting out in the world of triathlon, a good starting point to give you a flavour about what the sport is about is the 220 magazines 'Beginners Guide', which can be downloaded in pdf format HERE
Novice Coached Sessions to start Feb/March
SWIMMING ....
Get some swim coaching during the off season to really improve your speed for the tri season. ATC coached sessions start in January - see calendar for all dates.
In the mean time - try doing 10mins of drills at the start of your swim session (after warming up) - use a pull bouy or float to give you the extra boyancy so you can concentrate on technique.
CYCLING ....
Group cycle rides are a great way to get out with other cyclists and get the miles in. ATC Sunday morning rides are for club members who can comfortably cycle for 2hrs on hills & flatter terrain. Shorter/Novice rides are also held - around 1hr duration - for those with less miles in their legs or anyone who wants a slower paced ride.
In May - the Wednesday night time trials start on the A28 at Great Chart or the A20 at Harrietsham - start in May 2009 - great way to improve your speed over 10miles. Look out for others at the weekend 10, 25, 50, even 100 mile TTs - usually on a Sunday morning - see the CTT website for more details.
Easy - just put one foot in front of the other right???? Maybe, but if you want to improve your run times, there are lots of different sessions you can do:
Speed sessions, Reps, Fartlek, Endurance runs, Plyometrics, Tempo Runs etc etc. These type of sessions are much easier when done in a group to help motivate you and push you to next level.
ATC Run Sessions to start - Thursday 7th May 2009.
TRANSITION ....
Do you know your T1 from your T2?
How do you mount your bike without looking like a Plonker?
Socks or No-Socks?
These and many other 'burning questions' will be answered in the Transition Coaching Session - Wednesday 29th April 2009.
