Training

Training is organised by the club every week during term time according to the timetable below. Many members stay up in Oxford during the vacations, and arrange to continue training via the mailing list. Come to as many or as few training sessions as you want!

Mondays: Resting hard is as important as training hard and Mondays are the club's official rest day. However, if anyone wants to get a little extra running in, come along to OUCCC's steady run and do a few miles. 5:15pm start, from the Radcliffe Camera.

Tuesday: The club's coached swimming session. These are held at the Rosenblatt pool from 21.00 until 22.30. We pride ourselves in providing the only coached swimming session for swimmers of ANY standard at Oxford University!

Wednesday: The club's track session. This is a running session, focusing on improving running speed as well as endurance, held at the legendary Iffley road track from 18.45 until 20.00.

Thursday: The club's turbo session, 20:00-21:15. A turbo is a machine which turns a bike into a static exercise bike and is excellent to build cycling strength and speed. Please note that you need SLICK (road bike) TYRES and a TURBO COMPATIBLE BIKE SKEWER (below). Due to the club having a limited number of turbos, a place at these sessions must be booked on the Events page. Please sign up to attend.

Friday: Another coached swim session, again for ALL abilities. On Fridays the club has four lanes of the Rosenblatt pool designated to it from 18.30 until 19.30. 

Saturday: The club's long cycle ride. We have close relationships with the university cycling club and encourage members to join both OUCC and take part in the their long cycle ride. These leave Trinity College gates on Broad street at 10am. There is a slower ride, medium ride and a faster ride. The faster ride is for more accomplished cyclists but cyclists of any ability are welcome on the slower ride.
There is an additional coached swimming session from 2:30-3:30pm, again for all abilities. This session focuses on technique and is a great recovery session for those out cycling in the morning.

Sunday: A longer run with OUCCC (details on their mailing list, normally 10am from Rad Cam)
There is an additional turbo session, 5:30-7pm. Please sign up to attend
