The third handcycle training weekend of 2008 based
at Stoke Mandeville -
September 13th and 14th.
The training format for the day will be the same as previous ones ;
a 3 hour track session in the morning starting at 10am with lunch
at 1.00pm and a 2hr road session in the afternoon. Please
be ready to start at 10am prompt. Please remember to bring your
own isotonic drinks and energy bars/bananas for carbohydrate intake
during the training.
We will have a number of handcycles available for people
to try including a Varna, Top End, Draft and Quickie Shark. So
if you haven't got a bike yet and would like to try them
out, please come along but let me know!
The training is open to all handcyclists irrespective of level,
experience, condition and disability. For a newcomer
to handcycling, it's an excellent opportunity to benefit
from some structured coaching, and advice in terms of planning, preparation
and training logs etc. There will be a number of experienced
handcyclists present who will only be to happy to pass on advice and tips. The
session will start with a warm up, followed by a 1 lap time
trial for all. A variety of interval type
exercises will be then done including team sprints and
a short factored race. By the end of session,
you will have had a good work out and developed a team
spirit with those you are cycling.
