Bootcamp and Outdoors Adventure

Bootcamp and Outdoors Adventure

My two key objectives for 2011 are taking part in the Etape du Tour (a stage of the Tour de France) on 11 July and the Round the Rock Ultra Marathon on 6 August.

Not sure what I will do after that, but I might consider setting up an Bootcamp and Outdoors Adventure session, making use of John Fox's new Adventure Training Facility in St Martin.

I would be interested in feedback, suggestions, ideas etc., if anyone is keen to take part. Otherwise my options will be to continue the high-volume training and think about Ironman either this Autumn (in the Southern Hemisphere) or next year.

An alternative would be to go back to power/strength training and return to rowing.

Happy to be persuaded according to other people's interests.

About me and this site

Tim Rogers is a Triathlete, Rower, Personal Trainer and Spinning Instructor.

Routine training sessions Dec2013 to Mar2014, you are welcome to come along!

Swim 6:30am at AquaSplash Tues, Wed, Thu, Fri. The Wed and Fri sessions are with the Tri Club and are good sessions. The Tue and Thurs are me working on technique.

Bike Sat 8am from FitnessFirst with Tri Club for 30miles. Normally a short but hard session working on quality rather than volume. The Tri Club guys are very fit (getting ready for Commonwealth Games) so I struggle to keep up. Plan B is 8:30am with Tony Wiliams at Gunsite for 50miles+. I do my speed work in spinn classes.

Spinn Mon 5:30pm and 6:30pm at FitnessFirst and Wed 5:45pm at BodyRox (both gyms offer pay-as-you-go options)

Run Tues, Thurs , Sat and Sun. Sessions vary from 4-6 x 1mile repeats, 4-10 x hills or a circuit of Queens Valley Reservoir (Speed/Strength on Tues and Thurs) or longer sessions like 8.5miles St Catherines and back 1/2 marathon, or 12miles+ off-road paths (Stamina/Endurance Sat or Sun)

Gym I need to work on strength. Currently I do some weights for 15-20mins before my Wed Spinn Class and after my Mon Spinn Class. I also do 2 sessions in the Gym. My favorite stuff includes the "Body for Life Programme", Cosgove Evil8 and Crossfit type stuff with emphasis on reps and speed rather than weight.
