Where The Bloody Hell Are Ya?

Alright team, listen up because this is a wake-up call with a side of lols. It’s time to stop making excuses and start showing up for our Tuesday night wind trainer session. Head Coach Ollie is not impressed, so let’s break it down:

Why You Should Be at Wind Trainer Sessions:

1. Technique Mastery: Remember when you tried to assemble that IKEA furniture without reading the instructions? Yeah, that’s you on a bike without proper technique. Wind trainer sessions are your step-by-step guide. Miss these, and you might as well ride with square wheels.

2. Base Training: This is the off-season, folks. This is when champions are made, not on the couch binge-watching Netflix. Base training now means you’ll thank yourself later when you’re cruising past competitors like they’re standing still.

3. Exclusive Focus: This is the only session of the week dedicated solely to cycling technique. It’s like having a VIP pass to the most exclusive club in town, and you’re choosing to stay at home in your pyjamas. Don’t waste this golden opportunity.

What You’re Missing Out On:

- Improved Efficiency: The better your technique, the less energy you waste. Imagine finishing a race and not feeling like you’ve been hit by a bus. Sounds nice, right?

- Injury Prevention: Poor technique is a one-way ticket to injury-ville. No one wants to be sidelined because they didn’t bother to show up to the one session that could have saved them.

- Coach Ollie’s Approval: Let’s be real, you want to be on Ollie’s good side. He’s the one who’s going to push you to your potential, but he can’t do that if you’re MIA.

So, to sum it up: Get your butts in gear and show up for the wind trainer session. This is your chance to improve, to shine, and to show Coach Ollie that you’re serious about being your best. Don’t let laziness be the reason you fall behind.

Remember, champions are made in the off-season. Be there or be square. Literally.

Don't Forget Your Bands at Swim Sessions!

Coach Ollie wants to see everyone using resistance bands at every swim session. These bands are perfect for warming up and adding functional strength training at the end of your workout. Incorporating these exercises will help you build strength, improve performance, and prevent injuries. Make sure to bring your bands and use them every time you hit the pool.
There are prescribed exercises to follow in your program, and if you took advantage of our online session at the start of the month, you know exactly what to do.

Building the Ultimate Triathlete

Ollie has integrated functional strength training exercises into everyone's programs for the off-season and to align with the current training phase. If you haven't already, check your training plan and start incorporating these vital exercises.

Building real strength now will not only enhance your performance but also help prevent injuries.
Remember, stronger bodies = faster bodies.
