Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia is going to have two great international athletes leading workshops and training camps for anyone interested in Triathlon. Swimming Cycling and Running.
Hi Everyone
Below is you’ll find the weekly training structure for our group and others that are bound to join. It will help develop us all for our goals moving forward even if your goal is just to be a healthier happier person J
These sessions start TOMORROW and I just want to run you through some key points on the plan.
The track session is a key session for the week and will develop your run technique and leg speed, giving you tremendous pace awareness. The first session TOMORROW is an important session where I will test your aerobic capacity (or your run VO2 max), this can be done fairly accurately with a simple time trial and will provide paces which will really help each training phase. If you do own a pace watch PLEASE wear it to each session and I will provide you with your paces that we will be using after our simple test tomorrow. We meet at the polo ground run track (around the pond) at 7am sharp for a 1 hour session.
Swim sessions are less than I would like at just two 1 hour sessions per week, we should swim more than this and we eventually will, but please attend these two sessions if possible and use the techniques learnt in your own sessions. Just pay your public entry fee at 8am to access the outside MBI pool, PLEASE bring Fins, Paddles, Pull Buoy and kick board if you have them and if you do not PLEASE purchase them as you will not be able to participate in valuable drills without them! Head to the pool as quickly as possible so we can get in and secure a centre section of the pool in what is a public session.
Kelly’s Castle TT on Tuesday nights is both fun and a very valuable session we will meet at the Sri Maha Mariamman Hindu Temple next to Kellies Castle https://goo.gl/maps/8yAqnVkHmaE2 I have agreed parking here for all our participants, but please kindly make a donation at the box inside the temple to show our appreciation for accepting us! These sessions WILL build speed and develop your threshold power through the season, I can give you pointers on this, but the fun bit is that all results will be entered onto a league table to provide end of year results which will result in prizes and awards for the most improved and fasted riders as well as some fun awards as well! The league table will be updated and published after each Tuesday evening session.
All other sessions are group runs or bike rides where there is no specific coaching but we will work as a team and improve together sharing experience and advice.
You may notice there is a Junior bike skills session which Dave Spence has kindly agreed to run, this still needs final agreement but will be a great session for bike development and I have some good ideas I can share with Dave to make it both fun and beneficial which it’s bound to be!!
