The Peak Multi Sport Club has been launched with the help of Jeanette Cooper from the Hawke’s Bay Multi Sport Club.
The winter training schedule has been set – sessions are free and exclusive to all Peak Fitness Members. There is a cost for the entry for the swimming.
Most Club Training begins (except for swimming begins 11th May due to pool closure) on Monday May 5th – the first week back of the school term.
Swimming:
Tuesday 11.30 am
Wednesday 6.15 pm
Friday 12.00 pm
Sunday 9am (all at John Beaumonts), and;
Saturday afternoons at Ocean Spa (time to be confirmed).
Mark Foote will be there at those times to work with who ever turns up re: technique and training for any level swimmer. Mark’s contact details: 0276556816.
Cycling (begins Tuesday 6th May):
For winter we go indoors (and from there people may buddy up for a weekend ride).
We will have our own ‘club’ time slot Tuesday 6.30 pm in the RPM room – we can look at cross training in this time slot i.e. practicing transitions, some core and flexibility work and also have some fun
Running (beginning Saturday May 10th at 7am):
Much safer as Jeanette said to run in winter in the dark with a group. Jeanette has lots of ideas to keep us going with the running!!!
Jeanette’s Super Tips:
Swimming in summer time on a Wednesday night there is a swimming class that offers advice on open water swimming, wetsuits etc. The first 2 ladies triathlons the swim is based in the pool, for the men it is straight to open water.
