What we train

Swim, bike, run.
Mix as required.

Join the disciplines that suit your goals. Nobody is taking attendance, and you do not have to train for a triathlon to train with us.

Multisport

Put the disciplines together, practise transitions and discover why running after cycling feels quite so peculiar.

The weekly rhythm

A plan, with room for real life.

Our programme has a solid weekly backbone, with pool swimming and run sessions carrying through the year. Winter adds Zwift, circuits, spin and yoga; from May, open-water swimming and outdoor rides take a bigger share of the fun.

Colder months

Winter base

Pool swimming, interval and track running, Zwift rides, circuits or spin, yoga and occasional long-course swimming.

Warmer months

Summer mode

Pool and run sessions continue, joined by open-water swimming and more outdoor cycling.

All year

Check before you set off

Coaches, venues and session types can change. Outdoor and open-water plans also depend on conditions and safety cover.

A typical week

How the week usually looks.

This is the usual pattern, not a promise that every Tuesday will behave itself. Exact sessions are confirmed with members, so newcomers should contact us before attending.

Mon

Open water in summer

The warmer months often begin with a club open-water session. The venue and safety cover are confirmed with members beforehand.

Tue

Run, swim, then extras

Interval running and pool swimming form the main evening sessions, with circuits or spin added on selected weeks.

Wed

Track and pool

Selected weeks include a track session, with another evening pool swim forming a regular part of the week.

Thu

Bike night

Winter usually means Zwift. In summer the bikes head outside for social rides, hills, short intervals or time-trial work, with an occasional DAAC track session.

Fri

Loch early, yoga later

Summer training can include an early open-water swim, while an evening online yoga session keeps some useful mobility in the week.

Sat

Longer sessions

Weekend group rides are arranged with the time and route confirmed nearer the day. Occasional long-course swims are also included.

Sun

A morning double

The first session alternates between interval running and swimming, followed by a regular pool swim.

New members: please contact the membership team before attending so we can point you to the right session and confirm any kit, access or safety requirements.
