Club training sessions

These sessions are subsidised by the club, a small charge may be applicable in some cases as outlined below. Please note that club membership is required to participate in all training sessions. Taster sessions can be arranged for people considering membership.

Running

We are very happy to be able to run these coached track sessions every Wednesday at Copeland Athletic track 6:00-7:00pm

These sessions follow training plans to develop and improve your running, whatever your pace. Although subsidised by the club, there is a small attendance charge.

Every level of runner, from complete beginners, can benefit from these sessions. Continuing all year round, these sessions are run (pun intended) whatever the weather!

All members are welcome, please use Spond to book attendance and for payment.

Pool Swimming

The club has use of four (of eight) lanes of Workington Swimming Pool, for swim sessions on Monday evenings, 7:30 - 8:30pm, from October to the end of April.

These are not coached sessions, but training sets for each session are provided and so all abilities (of reasonably competent swimmers) are catered for.

There is a nominal charge and places must be booked in advance via Spond. All members welcome!

Open water Swimming!

With four great swimming lakes on our doorstep we couldn't be in a better place!

The club has private access to the lake from Bassenthwaite Sailing Club for open water swimming sessions. This is on Monday evenings, from May to the end of September. Arrive in time to get changed and be ready to swim at 6:00pm. These are not coached sessions, but a good mix of abilities and changing facilities (hot showers!) are available.

There is a small charge for these sessions and all members are welcome, please confirm attendance and payment via Spond!

Cycling

We have bike and run (brick) sessions from Cockermouth School car park at 6:00pm on Tuesday evenings from May until the end of September. Usually, these uncoached sessions consist of around 30-40 minutes riding, followed by a run of around 20-30 minutes.

There is no charge for these sessions and all abilities are catered for and all members are welcome.

Club rides

Club ridesare held monthly during the warmer months. There is a longer and shorter ride and every level of rider is catered for. Coffee and cake stop is always included!

Normally starting at 8:30am from Cockermouth School, but see Facebook, Whatsapp and Spond for details of each ride.

Zwifting!

During the winter months we have a club Zwift rides on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Generally, it will be a club social ride on Tuesday at 6:00pm. One hour with the "keep everyone together" function so anyone can join and ride as hard or as easy as they like! Then, on a Friday at 6:00pm, a fun ride with varied formats. Group training rides or easy rides with sprints. Planned so that anyone can take part, but sometimes with a competitive element!

Absolutely all abilities can take part, thanks to Zwift functionality, and we chat as we ride using Discord.

Occasionally we will substitute the ride for a Zwift event, but we can still chat.

All members are welcome, but Zwift membership is also required. Details are posted, prior to each session, on Whatsapp and Facebook.

Gym sessions

We run an hour session at Lake District Barbell on Thursday evening at 6:30pm. If demand dictates, we run two sessions, at 6:00pm and 7:00pm.

These are HIIT style coached sessions, using cardio machines, free weights, etc. and are for all abilities.

There is a small charge for these sessions and all members are welcome, but places are limited and so attendance and payment needs to be confirmed via Spond.

New to triathlon?

Access for all and inclusivity are core values of the club. Making the first step can be the most difficult part of a journey.
