MAY – Start of Technique & Base Training

The start of May signals the start of our Winter Training Season and is the first phase of our 5 training phases in our Yearly Planner. Technique at the start of a training season is extremely important and will have a direct impact on your training and more importantly – racing, over the coming season. Technique training involves working on your skills in all forms of triathlon. Breaking down the components of your swim stroke, riding technique, run technique and developing these, either through positional work or a strength component. These are conducted at varying levels of intensity to assist you to build correct technique under differing training loads. Those who commence their Winter training in May will ensure they build a sound technique and base fitness to build on in our further training phases throughout the year.

One of the best things to do over Winter is to get strong!  And one of the best ways to do it, is with an intensive hit-out at one of our camps!  You get to surround yourself with like-minded people, live and train like a pro and forget about all the other worries of the world while you eat, sleep, train, repeat!  We've got 2 camps coming up - Lorne Camp on the Queen's Birthday long weekend and Thanyapura Thailand Camp at the end of July.  More information to come, but time to start thinking about how you'll make gains this winter and #GainTheEdge
