Our third time trials for the season kick off next week beginning Monday 6 August. Time trials are an important part of our training structure as they allow you (and us!) to monitor your progress over the winter to ensure you continue to develop and improve. It is important for you to attend each 6 week time trial during the year – without these measures, it is hard to know how your training is progressing.

Please read below to know which time trial sessions you are to attend next week (beginning Monday 6 August).

  • Beginners: 200/500m swim, 5/10km bike, 2/5km run,
