PROGRAM:
Swim: Improve your open water swimming skills and gain confidence with specific techniques such as sighting, navigation, drafting, and stroke efficiency.
Bike: Social pace group ride to build endurance in a relaxed yet efficient manner. You'll also learn about group ride safety, bike pre-ride checks, and pace-line routines.
Run: Our first session focuses on introducing you to running technique drills that will improve efficiency, economy, and reduce the risk of injuries. The second session is an interval training that will challenge you and improve your running efficiency.
Brick Session: Triathlon is more than just the addition of three sports; it's a sport of its own. Running after biking is challenging, but we'll give you tips to make it second nature. You'll also practice efficient transition methods.
Training for Triathlon 101 Q&A: Join us for a discussion on how to get started with triathlon training, including topics such as volume, periodization, intensity, and achieving a work-life balance.
