Timetable Takeover

Yes, this week’s edition is late. I’d love to blame IT gremlins, but truth be told, I’ve only just recovered from Collingwood’s prelim loss. VIC has a public holiday tomorrow for Grand Final preparations, but let’s be honest, I’m still salty the Pies won’t be there. Anyway… enough about heartbreak, let’s talk about sessions.

🔨 Build Week 2: No Skipping Allowed 

On Monday, we’re moving into Build Week #2, so this is your chance to stack another solid block before you earn the following week’s recovery. Every session matters. If it’s on your program, tick it off. Consistency is the name of the game right now.

🚧 MSAC Out of Action: What It Means 

The 2025 Australian Short Course Championships are taking over MSAC next week. It’s an exciting event for the sport, but it does mean we’re locked out of our usual sessions.
Affected sessions (all uncoached, complete independently):

• Monday night swim

• Tuesday night wind trainer

• Wednesday morning swim

• Friday morning swim

So...don’t just cancel them, adapt. Stick to your program, find your lane/wt spot, and get it done.

Coached sessions still happening as usual:

• Tuesday morning run

• Thursday morning Hot Laps
  

• Thursday night run session
  

• Sunday morning run session

☀️ Daylight Savings = Summer Timetable 

Not long now until the clocks spring forward and we shift gears into the Summer Timetable. From Monday 6th October, here’s what changes:

• Thursday nights: Move from The Tan to Elwood Beach for combo sessions
  

• Sunday mornings: Move from Fairfield to Elwood Beach for long swim/run combo sessions

👉 That means last Tan session is Thursday 2nd Oct and last Fairfield session is Sunday 5th Oct.

Time to dust off the wetsuit, dig out the elastic laces and get your transition gear ready... because it’s brick session season.

👀 Looking Ahead

Between Build Week momentum, timetable shifts and the countdown to race season, there’s plenty to keep you sharp. This is where showing up counts most. No medals are handed out in September, but these are the sessions that decide how you’ll race from November onwards.

✅ Wrap Up

So yes, the newsletter is late, my team is out of the finals, and your timetable is about to change. But the good news? You’re fit, you’re building, and the summer season is right around the corner. Stick to your program, adjust where you need and roll into next week ready to go.

Keep showing up, keep ticking the boxes, and maybe don’t ask me who I’m barracking for this weekend.
