    Anyone here do the 10 weeks before christmas wish to comment on them?
    Maybe one positive one negative element?

    Other than it being a Friday night when I good be having after work beers I've nothing negative to say about the sessions. I drive in from Blanch direction and it takes me about 20mins to get there so I can't even criticise location. Although if I had to criticise one thing it would be that he's mixed up March and April in relation to the Portlaois race...

    On a positive note I think I get the most feedback in the group with my swimming regularly held up as an example (of what not to do :) ). Interested is good coach, he explains things well and he runs the sessions really well making sure everyone is pushing themselves. I will be back Friday.

    I done the ten weeks up to christmas and even though I missed a few weeks I found it very good. Seen a drop in my 400m and 100m TT times and felt I came on a lot in the water. Only downside would have been that for a few weeks there was no pool side clock but this was sorted and the suffering resumed.

    To be fair you did come out wearing probably the loudest pair of goggles I've ever seen, was always going to be hard to blend into the crowd with them on!

    Hey Folk

    a fyi - we're bringing this forward a week ... Oct 4th .. so a week from this evening. All welcome. Still at the same price - we'll probably run for 11 weeks but will see as we go since that pool closed early for Christmas last year.

    Hey Folks, resurrecting this old thread - the plan is to run this again over the course of the winter
    Details are within the thread but in summary:

    When: Fri nights, 10 weeks til Christmas and 10 weeks in new year, 7-8pm Belvedere College pool, Denmark Street, Dublin 1 (I think ;))

    For who:
    • Anyone with a current TI membership card welcome
    • Based on last year, a split between beginners, intermediates and advanced will be catered for across the 5 lanes.
    • Initial weeks will be about stroke work for some or all that might need it, followed by building some volume over the course of the 10 weeks.

    Any questions ? feel free to ping me a pm here.

    Thanks
    Mark

    Some additional information about the plans associated with this splash can be found here

    Hey Folks,
    Re-resurrecting this old thread - the plan is to run this again over the course of the winter (4th year now) - details are within the thread but in summary:
    • For who: All swimmers who have Triathlon Ireland membership are welcome. To get the most from the sessions realistically you would need to be able to swim 100 meters in approx 2 mins 15sec.max - and be able to do this 4 times in a row with minimal rest.
    • When: Starting Friday 9th October (please be on pool deck at 6.55 that night) ending Friday 11th December
    • Where: 7-8pm Belvedere Pool (6 Great Denmark Street, Dublin 1, Ireland)
    • How Much: 10 week block for €70
    • How to register and pay: Click here and ensure you select Friday swimming and process the PayPal Transaction completely. Alternatively PM me here, stating your name, swim level and if you've a swim split time for a previous race include that too - and come a little early on Friday and pay then.

    Lanes are graded during the first week or two and standards vary (and thats perfectly ok ;))

    More details ?
    a) 2 sessions 'homework' via email that are in line with what your lane is doing each Friday.

    b) Help individuals with low hanging fruit for some on their strokes - small, simple changes that they can practice and adopt in racing easily without reinventing wheel. Ad-hoc video analysis done.

    c) Over the course of this block and into 2016, ensure volume increases to ensure endurance work in the pool each week is being done ( whether for 750 / 1500 / 1.9 / 3.8 this is important).

    d) For each person dialing in the pace to swim at so that they can maintain efficient stroke is a key objective for triathlon .... sets like 40*50 holding X on y .... holding stroke/form when tiring means you will swim fast and efficiently and put you in good standing for the bike and run come spring and summer 2016.


    Anything else, PM here and Ill try to answer !
    Many thanks
    Mark

    Good luck Mark, I looked up ways and means to make this session last year but alas it was too far. Anyone Dublin-based should jump on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 595 ✭✭✭rooneyjm


    Sure everyone come up and stay in Marks every Friday, all part of the service
