Running is also now really starting to develop some quality sets and the introduction of a weekly core strength session has really increased everyone's strength. Building the k's each week and making a nice strong solid base for the up coming season. The exciting part is watching everyone run so well already, with only 6 weeks under our belts everyone is producing the form that they had during the Triathlon season, which shows we are on the way to a big strong Summer.
Cycling has just begun and although the distances aren't huge, we are building a nice base and throwing in a good variety of little strength based drills, who would've thought a 30k bike session could still leave the quads burning and feeling like several hours on the bike. Beautiful crisp mornings always make the ride enjoyable, so long as we a wearing enough layers.
We have also been fortunate enough to expand our support base and network over the off season. 32GI and Food Risk Management are continuing on with their support of the squad and we are very happy to have Next Move Physio come on board and support our athletes with rehab, recovery and prevention of injuries. Next Move is based at Whitfords City in the Endeavour Business Centre and provide Physio and Exercise classes to help everyone.
Our athletes have also been very busy during the off season with some gaining new sponsors and many performing exceptionally at School Sport WA Cross Country Championships and the ACC Cross Country Championships.
We now move into a solid block of training with some real quality work coming up and some minor racing including The Western Australian Marathon Club Cross Country Season and Midland Cycling Club Pickering Brook Race Series.
Exciting times are ahead!
