Test Team Event »

ActiveTrainingWorld are delighted to announce our second Train'athlon. The first Train'athlon in January 2013 was a huge success and this time we have extended our coaching team to include Gold Medal Olympian Rebecca Romero, and a fantatstic line up of talented and elite level coaches including Olympic Talent squad member Sky Draper and International Yoga expert Charli Sales. This training day is open to triathletes of all abilities. Groups will be split into beginners, intermediate and advanced on the day so that the coaches can tailor the sessions to meet your needs and others of the same experience and skill level. Individuals who have not yet completed a triathlon, but want to learn how to, are also welcome.

Please note this day is about focussing on good technique and you will not need to worry about your fitness levels.

The triathletes will rotate around the sessions, grouped by triathlon experience!
This will be a full Triathlon Training day covering everything needed to improve your performance.

Improve your front crawl swimming technique and shave minutes off your time. Whether you are new to triathlon racing, have competed in a few races, or fully hooked, improvements can always be made to your swim stroke.

The day will help you get faster in the swim section, but initially you will improve your efficiency so you come out of the water less exhausted ready to attack the bike and run sections.

Each group will work on the same technique drills. The session will work on a streamline body position, head position, moving on to balance and leg kick drills. Once the body and head are in the correct position you will work through various arm drills to gain the most out of your pull phase for maximum momentum and speed.
