Winter Race Training

2012-2013 Winter Training

For the winter of 2012-2013 we hope to have a number of race training groups starting from Santry every Saturday at 9:30am.

1. Race Training Group : Race training will take place on Saturdays and Sundays. These spins will alternate between Nth County Dublin/East Meath and Wicklow. The racing group will be training for the 2013 racing season. This will be a strenuous workout aimed specifically at the racing riders in the club. These spins will be reasonably fast and will cover undulating courses. Distance 80-100km up to year end. Distance will increase to 100-130km after Christmas. Intervals will form part of the training post Christmas. Group will be split if numbers dictate. These spins will run from October 13th through to the weekend before our Training Race in February 2013. As Saturday is club spin day all groups have a tea stop at some stage. Nobody will be forced to stop. To avoid annoying the group please train to heartrate limits and wattage outputs during the week.

2. The Racing Development Group will train on each weekend throughout the winter months. This will continue to be a coached group. Spin distances and session goals will vary as the programme dictates.

No tea stop on Sunday race training spins. Bring adequate food/drink and €5 bonk money.
