melbourne-running-2

Hey y’all!  Another week has come and gone, quickly really despite being in lockdown.  Great to see so many people diligently following their programs and maintaining the momentum.  We are nearing the end of Build Week 2, with Recovery Week right around the corner.  So, if you are feeling tired, good!  Means you followed the program, and you are ready for the rest. 


Speaking of which…do you truly understand the mechanisms of a periodised program?  And why Ollie carefully designs your programs in such a way?  There was a good article recently put out by Training Peaks, helping readers to recognise that understanding periodisation is the key to optimising training.  Worth a read while you’ve got the time.


I’ve outlined the online timetable for the week ahead.  It should be fairly familiar, and I’m impressed with how confidently athletes and coaches transition across the platforms now.  Almost so seamlessly that I nearly forgot to update you, as I felt you were already across it all before I was!  Nevertheless, always feel free to yell out if you have a question about a session, particularly if you are on a social membership or have sessions passes and need us to forward you the links.  The ride details for Saturday are below, but the biggest note is that the ZWIFT session will begin at 6am from now on and the WT session at 7am.  Both coaches have the courses ready to go and are looking forward to building your strength and keeping you in tip-top shape!


So, as you start getting the trainers sorted for another week of indoor riding, we were excited to hear that TACX have recently had stock arrive and it’s available for you right now.  Even better, all members can get a very handy deal of just $800 for the Flux S direct drive, which will get you up to speed in no time.


We look forward to receiving good news during the week but as always, will wait for further advice.  Stay strong, we are pushing through this lockdown and won’t miss a beat.  There’s plenty going on on the timetable.  Keep up to date with things here or via our FB page.

Keep well, keep training, keep connected.

The All-New Upgraded CloudFlow

We sat down with some of our athletes to make their favorite shoe even better. The result: a new generation of Cloudflow that’s faster than ever. Equipped with improved technology, it also maintains that classic Cloudflow comfort.

Equipped with next-level grip
Put your heart and soul into each step. The new and improved grip rubber and traction pattern will keep you stable at any speed – so keep up the pace.

Never slow down
But speed doesn’t just live on straights: with the new heel shaping, even sharp corners won’t be able to slow you down.

Streamlined silhouette
We have come up with a new upper to make even the toughest runs feel like a walk in the park. And the new look is made from 70% recycled Polyester.

Speed to spare
Running fast has never been easier. Our Cloudtec® outsole made from Helion™ superfoam provides supreme cushioning, while delivering a responsive feel.

ATHLETE'S CORNER
 
 
 
Tri-Alliance-Triathlon-Training
Understanding Training Periodisation

"Adaptation is key to improving fitness. When you train hard, you actually tear your muscle fibers; when you rest and recover, those fibers heal, rebuilding the muscle so it can handle similar stress in the future. In other words, training itself does not produce adaptation; it is the rest that follows training that allows your body to get stronger."
