Breathing: it's not as straight-forward as you might think

The Try-a-Tri programme has now reached its half-way mark and the athletes are starting to feel a change in the intensity of the sessions. As well as just drills, they are now building in some speed work, guaranteed to get their heart rates pumping.

Results from last nights BaRTT session are now available from the Results section under the BAR Series Menu Tab on the left. Any queries, please mail me.

Week 2: A scenic ride along Marston Ferry road

The bike stage of a triathlon is always the longest, and many training guides recommend you spend as much time in the saddle as you can, on account of this.

The date and venue for this years Oxford Tri Awards Dinner has now been decided so please add it to your diary now;

Friday 22nd October 2010 at the Conference Centre Oxford, Park End Street.
