Training
Swimming
The club enjoys the benefit of the expert advice from Gary McCaffery and Diane Lee, who coaches athletes of all standards up to and including Commonwealth Games competitors. Our main swimming session is held on Wednesdays, 9-10 pm, in Buxton swimming pool in Pavilion Gardens. The cost per session is £5 or you can purchase a ten-session ticket for £45 if you are a member of the club. It is exceedingly good value at £5 a session, and even better at £4.50! I hope as many as possible will join in the sessions. The more the merrier! Gary and Diane has worked wonders with the club members in the past. Your swimming will improve significantly if you stick with it!
Alan runs two sessions at New Mills pool. Alan's sessions are geared more towards teaching and practising the Total Immersion technique, and there is no lane swimming during his sessions. Alan's sessions are held on Mondays (20:30-22:00) and Fridays (20:30-21:30).
Cycling
Mat and Krissie Ivings are running a turbo session in their garage on Thursday nights, starting on 1st December 2011. The format is that you bring your bike and turbo trainer, rig it up and follow the DVD session.
Quite a few of our athletes are also members of one of the local cycling clubs. These clubs regularly run longer rides on Sunday mornings. High Peak Triathlon Club also organises a ride on most Sundays throughout the winter. We try to change the starting point of the ride so that it is not always the same people having to make the journey into Buxton. It also adds greater variety to the ride. Please contact Mat Ivings for details of the next ride.
Running
A few of our members are also members of one of the local running clubs. We do not have our own organised training session. However we might try to organise a speed session if there is enough interest.
Triathletes based in or near Buxton are always welcome to join in with Buxton & District Athletic Club's sessions—Mondays and Wednesdays. The BDAC meet on Mondays at 6.30 pm in the car park near the swimming pool (Pavilion Gardens) and in the foyer of the swimming pool at 7 pm on Wednesdays. Please see the club Buxton & District Athletic Club website for more details about the individual sessions.
