OUR TRAINING   OUR COACHES


Monday
– Swimming at Great Dunmow Gym, 8pm – 9pm

Icon - SwimPool swimming: a one hour training session at Dunmow Leisure Centre taken by a BTF (British Triathlon Federation) coach.  We have three lanes in the pool which helps coaches structure these sessions to cater for all abilities.  The emphasis of the training is a mixture of technique and speed/stamina work depending on where we are in the season.

 

Thursday – Track session at Braintree Track, 8.30pm

Icon - RunRunning: a one hour session held at the running track at Braintree Leisure Centre.  This is also structured to cater for all abilities and taken by a BTF coach.  Again, the sessions normally include a mixture of technique and speed/stamina work.

 

Weekend - Group bike rides

Icon - BikeCycling: normally a two hour session starting at either Dunmow Leisure Centre or Hatfield Forest.

During the summer we have open water swimming on Tues/Thurs evening and Saturday/Sunday mornings at Redricks Lake, Sawbridgeworth.

Open water swimming: during the open water season (April to September) there are swimming sessions at both High Wych and Gosfield Lake. 
Often members will follow sessions with a bike ride if you want to join this as well.

Members often train together outside of these sessions also.
