With the Northern hemisphere triathlon season pretty much concluding with the ITU San Francisco and 70.3 in Clearwater this month, so now is a time to review what went right and what can be improved for next season.
Di & I did some technical performance analysis with some athletes in October to see how the season has affected their technique, power, energy systems, strength and flexibility. Having put the athletes through their paces we conducted a number of field based tests with them earlier this month. From what we have done with the athletes we are able to provide information on training zones, VO2 and developmental areas.
Equally you can tell that we are in the close season with such activities as the British Triathlon Coaches & Events Organisers kicking in. I have also managed to maintain some professional development, which will invariably assist in my coaching, by attending three British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences workshops: "Putting theory into applied practice; supporting athletes and coaches", "The process of performance analysis for assessing athletic performance and coaching intervention" and "The application of biomechanics and performance analysis in strength and conditioning".
So it's an exciting time for the Training Bible coaches helping athletes get the most out of their winter training keeping their coaching skills up to date and preparing for the TCR show in February - should make for a great season.
