Training

 

Training is based around preparing for sprint and marathon races.  We usually run a number of different training groups based on age and/or ability.

PLEASE NOTE – we are not currently working to our usual timetable due to Covid-19.  We are aiming to run as many small groups as possible during the week so people can get out as much as possible, but we do not have the full club sessions as outlined below.

 

An example of summer training week:

Monday
Morning	Ladies That Launch – a touring paddle of 4-6 miles
Evening	Marathon Divs 7/8 training and technique session
	Marathon Divs 4/5/6 training
	Junior  Strength and Conditioning
Tuesday
Morning	Div 6 and above early morning session
Evening	U12/Lightning Session Div 9 and above race training
Wednesday
Afternoon	Junior Training/S&C
Thursday
Morning	Div 6 and above early morning session
Evening	Club session – something for everyone over 12
Saturday
	Club Session – something for everyone
Sunday
	Long Training Paddle/Race day

 

 

 

In addition there are regular extended training days working on technique.

 

 

 

Off the Water

 

During the winter, when it is not possible to train on the water in the evenings, the club runs circuit training classes at Cropredy Village Hall. These replace the Tuesday and Thursday club sessions and run from 7 to 8pm.

 

We also have occasional lectures during the year, covering various aspects of competitive paddling and being an athlete.
