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 – the club is currently closed due to the lockdown. We look forward to re-opening as soon as we are allowed, and will endeavour to run as many groups as we can during the week so people can get out as much as possible.

In more normal times, below is 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

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

Off the Water

Usually 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.

During the lockdown, we are continuing to run these online twice a week, pilates once a week and additional classes for the juniors

We are continuing with our winter lectures during lockdown – they’re just on Zoom. This year’s series include:

GB paracanoeist, Jonny Young; sea kayakers Natalia Maderova and Mihal Maderov; food and nutrition from Dan Golder; white water paddling with Will Austin.
