Training Overview

As we are a small club with modest fees we have formed alliances with the specialist clubs in the area to offer the breadth of training needed for triathlon. The most important is the Monday night swimming training at Tring pool, and almost all our members have joined there also. The Monday evening session is coached and programmed. (NB. Swimming fees are not included in our membership fee.)

For cycling we often participate with Hemel Hempstead Cycling club, and running with Watford Harriers and Tring Running Club. Our most popular sessions are:


Mondays 19:00-20:00 Swim Tring (CLUB NIGHT)
Blue Lagoon swimmers in wet suits
Open water swim sessions at the Blue Lagoon start in May (if the ice has melted). They are free to club members but membership cards will be required before entering the water.
Tuesdays 18:45-20:00 Run Watford Harriers
Wednesday 19:30 Tring Running Club
Thursdays 18:30-19:30 10 mile TT with Hemel (Summer only)
Fridays 19:00-20:00 Swim Berkhamsted (not coached)
Saturdays 09:00-10:00 Run Ashridge (Autumn to Spring)

There are many variations available depending on the time of year and how individual training plans fit together. We have attended weekend triathlon and running camps, and specialist swim training weekends.
