Club 2008

Club Wednesday evening extra training

NEW FOR SUMMER 2008

Wednesday / occasional Friday evening training sessions

  • additional training for aimed primarily at rollerski club members;
  • mixture of training and venue each week. Initial focus on classic, move on to do more fast rollerskiing, etc;
  • focus on building up technical skills initially. Moving on to focus on performance;
  • programme led by Yevgeniy Gorbenko, former Russian XC ski coach.

The aim of these sessions is to supplement Hyde Park training for anyone interested in improving classic technique, and performance, with extra training. Each week will have a different theme, but will collectively help improve skiing. The maximum benefit will be felt by those able to come most weeks, although all are welcome to come intermittently.

Anyone coming will need to have their own equipment, or arrange to borrow equipment the previous Saturday AM in Hyde Park - at the moment it may not be possible to bring a car for each session.

Initially each session will be £15 - but if numbers grow we will reduce the costs, or add additional coaches to the sessions. To be reviewed at the end of July.
