Triathlon specific indoor cycling classes will be held on Tuesdays at 18:45 at the spin studio in Fitness First – no FF membership is required, and participants are free to use the changing facilities, lockers and showers at no additional cost from 18:30 until 21:00. The program consists of 10 weekly sessions. Each session lasts an hour and will be supervised by qualified Spinning® instructor Dan Garrido.  The first week is a familiarisation with the bikes and a test protocol, then 8 weeks of structured intervals alternating between 1 week aerobic/anaerobic intervals and 1 week of strength development, then testing again in the last week to gauge progression.  The first session is Tuesday 15 October and the final (tenth) session is Tuesday 17 December 2019.

The bikes are top of the range Technogym Group Cycle bikes with power meters and cadence sensors, and are compatible with Bluetooth/ANT+ heart rate monitors, and have full Garmin data connectivity. All participants need to bring is gym kit and adequate hydration (water filling stations are available in club) – bikes are fitted with SPD MTB pedals as well as cages for stiff soled trainers should you not have those cleats on your cycling shoes.
