The GOG Triathlon Club currently has 40 trained coaches and activators. It offers the following sessions on most weeks. Any changes will be communicated via the members private Facebook page. Anyone is welcome to attend these sessions, but we do ask that you join the club if you take part more than once or twice.
The following training events are open to anyone.
Sunday Swimming – All abilities if you can swim 50m or more (sorry no non-swimmers). Llandudno swimming centre at 7:50 am. £6.00 for members and £8.00 for vistors – must be paid in advance – entries open at 8am on Monday. Enter at https://gogtriathlonclub.niftyentries.com/
Tuesday Running Interval session – 6pm-7pm from Llandudno Swim Centre (every second, fourth and fifth Tuesday in each month). All abilities are welcome to this session. We mainly run on the promenade in Llandudno and run in laps from one shelter to the next so that everyone keeps together. The intervals are aimed to improve your 5km, 10km and half marathon time. We also do hill reps and Kenyan hills to build strength and power and should not be missed!
Tuesday Track (GOG members only) – 6-7:30pm Eirias Park athletics Track (every first and third Tuesday in each month). All abilities are welcome to this session. Our experienced coaches take you through an interval session to improve your technique, speed or speed endurance and pacing. Aimed at improving your V02 Max, 5km and 10km times. Ideal for beginners and advanced athletes alike we typically split into 3-5 groups which means you will be running with people who are of similar ability to you.
Thursday running 6-7pm – first and third Thursday is a social run of approx 5km from outside the Rhos Fynach, with a drink in the pub after. Other Thursdays are intervals from Porth Eirias Car Park. All abilities welcome, which is the same as the Tuesda intervals but differentiated to encourage the beginner athlete. It is a nurturing environment for those who are more nervous about running in a group situation or want to try out a session for the first time.
All run sessions are free for our members however, we encourage our triathlete members to attend only ONE of the sessions per week. This is so that you don’t over train and risk injury or illness by over loading the body. Triathlete are encouraged to get their key sessions from a mix of running , cycling and swimming.
There will normally be an informal cycle ride on Sundays after swim training. Details will be shown on the private members GOG Facebook page.
