Swim
The swim sessions are held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Wednesday evenings (check timetable for exact times). All swim sessions are held at the Goldfields Oasis.
The Tuesday and Thursday sessions are lead by a coach and are focused on improving the technique (and subsequently the speed) of participants. These sessions focus on freestyle and the improvement of that stroke. Swimmers are grouped into 4 lanes based on ability and speed. Sessions usually include warm ups, technique based drills, main sets containing a variety of distances and speed requirements, depending on the focus for the session and cool downs.
Sessions are timed, so participants are encouraged to be ready and in the water at the start time.
​Bike
Bike sessions are held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings (check timetable for exact times and starting locations).
These sessions are focused on improving riding technique, confidence, speed and endurance.
Wednesday sessions are interval based and focus on speed and endurance. The group meets at the designated area, then heads up Hannan Street and out towards Bulong Road. Once we reach Bulong road and are away from most of the traffic, the intervals start. After each hard interval, the participants circle around and regroup before the next interval, to make sure everyone stays together and nobody is left behind. The distance of this ride varies, however as it is an out-and-back, participants can turn around whenever they need to. Distances range from 25km to 50km, depending on the session.
Saturday sessions are long tempo rides with 3 different ability groups (depending on numbers). The group meets at the corner of Hannan and Porter Street, then rides up Hannan Street, onto the Highway, then out towards Bulong Road.
Common group average speeds are +31km/hr, 28-30km/hr, -28km/hr. Distances covered vary from 25km to 60km followed by coffee.
​​Run
Running sessions are held on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings (check timetable for exact times and locations).
These sessions are lead by a nominated member and are focused on improving speed and endurance. Participants are encouraged to run with others of similar speed/ability or those just a little faster if you want that extra push.
Tuesday sessions are usually lead by Dave Roberts.
Both sessions include a 10-15 minute warm up, then 30-40 minute main set, with a 10 minute cool down. These sessions are great for increasing your speed.
