FUSION TRAINING SESSIONS ARE THE BACKBONE OF FUSION TRIATHLON - QUALITY COACHED SESSIONS YOU CAN DROP IN ON WHENEVER YOU WISH.  THESE SESSIONS ARE THE HEART OF THE NEW FUSION TRIATHLON CLUB.

 

THE THEORY -  

All sessions will be season specific to fit the fusion annual training plan - so expect comprehensive coaching covering technical and functional development alongside specific elements of fitness, fun and the occassional "fusion challenges". Generally any ability welcome - run sessions involve no more than 20 mins straight running at anyone time and routes will be such that nobody is left behind or "dragged along". Sunday runs will be sociable but will enevitably split into matched ability groups or own paced running that re-convene at various point on the route for drill work etc. Please note that the swimming is freesyle development so you need to be able to swim 100m of freestyle (front crawl)  - doesn't matter how slow though!!
