Weekend schools to train triathletes

A WEEKEND school for would-be triathletes is to open in York.

St Peter’s School in the centre of York will be the venue for two triathlon training weekends on January 5-6 and February 23-24 in the run up to the triathlon season.

There will be two hours pool time each day, including underwater filming so that swim strokes and times can be analysed and improved, classes on nutrition, sports psychology, stretching and strength conditioning, bike set-up and maintenance, including roadside emergency repairs, and advice on how to achieve faster transition times – the point where competitors transfer between one activity and another.

People will take away a personal DVD with commentary of their performance, plus a six-week personal training programme.

The school has been set up by York-based triathlon organisers Freebird Events and is aimed at all levels of competitor. Details can be found at: http://www.freebirdevents.co.uk/tri-this-triathlon-training-weekend/event-home/
