Weekly Training Schedule
Training schedule varies season by season. Check Spond for the latest training sessions. The below gives an idea of what to expect.
Monday
Run Training Session
Time: 7pm to 8pm
Over the winter we are hiring 3 lanes of the Julie Rose Stadium every fortnight for structured running training.
On the other alternate Mondays a run leader or coach creates a bespoke session for club members, out on the streets of Ashford.
This is also the slot for our much loved ‘Blue Bell Runs’, held for 6 weeks in Spring at Kings Wood
Wednesday
Bike Day!
Summer: Outdoor evening bike ride.
Winter: Indoor turbo trainer sessions, on video call, platform of your choice.
We are currently doing alternate weeks at the Ride Laps event at the CycloPark
Thursday
Coached Swim Training
Time: 7:45pm – 8:45pm
Location: Ashford School
For most of the year, the club book out the entire pool, with 4 swim lanes. The club endeavour to have a coach for each swim lane, with a wide range of abilities catered for. The starting requirement is the ability to swim 100m front-crawl.
£6.88 for members, £7.88 for non-members. Check out the next session on Spond, and book in early to avoid disappointment!
During the summer the structured swim training is put on hiatus, in favour of informal meets at our local lakes (Leybourne and Lydd) to work on open water confidence and experience.
Sunday
Club Ride
Long Run
Most Sundays there will be a club ride or a long social run (often both).
All riders must wear a cycle helmet. Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring a drink, equipment to mend a puncture and a pump.
Disclaimer: Only sessions marked as Coached are covered under the club’s insurance. Anything else, which includes the Sunday Ride and any social runs organised by members of Ashford Tri Club, are not covered, even if a club coach is present as a participant. Members therefore take part in any un-coached sessions at their own risk
