Whilst we are getting excited and looking forward to more sunshine, warmer days and better times, we also have new programs to look forward to! Our strength block ends and our next phase of training kicks off in mid-September with our pre-race phase so mark your diaries and start dreaming of those ROTB (Runs Off The Bike)! 

For now however, we are in build week one, for the last time in our strength phase! We hope your virtual training continues to keep you happy, healthy, motivated and that you are using, not abusing, your 1 hour of outside time. Don't forget that currently, we are permitted to exercise outside our home with only one other person for no more than one hour and within a 5km radius of your home. 

This means that athletes are required to use their discretion in following the program and to be creative in how you get your session done (indoors, split days or give yourself a break!).

Our Go Virtual timetable is as below and all sessions can be accessed via the Go Virtual link in your program. 

Overview:
Monday – 6pm Dryland Swim + 7.30pm Flex 
Tuesday – 6am Run Intervals + 6pm Wind Trainer + 7.30pm Flex
Wednesday – 7am Strength + 6pm Dryland swim + 7pm Flex
Thursday – 6am Hot Laps (Zwift) + 5pm Run Intervals + Flex (Independent)
Friday – 7am Strength + 6pm Flex 
Saturday – 7am Ride (Go Virtual & Zwift) + Flex (Independent)

Everyone loves a quick and easy recipe and no one knows these quite like a new mum! This week's recipe comes from one of our newest mums in the TA family, Donna. Forget soaking dates, blenders and baking...full of peanut butter, chocolate and oats (all the best things) you can nearly make these with your eyes shut!

ICYMI: If you haven't met them yet, Olive and Mabel are possibly the most famous dogs of 2020. Andrew Cotter's voice is synonymous with the Olympics and Wimbledon, but in the absence of sport, Andrew found another way to keep his sport commentary going! 

Nothing beats a bit of retail therapy and whether you need to spoil your dad, yourself or someone else special in your life, Garmin is here to help you do just that! 
The Garmin Instinct, Forerunner 935, and Forerunner 245 are particularly good offers as well as some of the Fenix 6 range.  

All orders must be placed no later than close of business Friday 4th of September 2020. Check out all the details below! 

If being in the midst of stage 4 restrictions has you feeling a little deflated, demotivated or just unsure how to refocus your training, take the opportunity to reach out to a coach to discuss your goals and training purpose. Head Coach Ollie is available for 20 minute Zoom catch ups, these can be booked using the link below. 

It’s important to keep routines going and stay connected, so Saturday mornings we ride… VIRTUALLY!

We will have 2 options for all our programmed athletes:

1. Join our private Zwift group ride – Tri-Alliance Social Saturday!

OR

2. Join us for an online coached session to see all your buddies and ride with the coach!
