Training Guidance

Having listened to your feedback, and keeping with the coaching goal of 'delivering professional level coaching in a friendly club based environment, accessible and suitable to all members', we have developed some guidelines and etiquette advice for members, as well as some cycling group definitions.

If I could ask all members to take a look at the newly created Training Guidance page on the website http://pactrac.co.uk/page/281/ and read through the documents in your own time.

Many thanks from your head coach.

Pactrac Group Rides.
It has been mentioned that some pactracers may be put off joining the group rides as they feel they are too slow, or too fast for them. Recently, i created some guidance around this by creating groups so that members of similar ability can get together and all join in on the samme published route.
We have defined 3 groups (Devils, Inters, Alphas), and set out some advice so that you can all determine which group you would ride in normally. Please note: this may change depending on the time of year, level of training, taper, recovery etc, so it it is a guide, not a rule.
It seems as though some of you may have missed this communication, so i'll post it again here, and on the forum:
The link below is posted on the pactrac website under About>Training Guidance.

The intention is that when a ride is suggested or posted, come forward and indicate which group you would like to ride in - i advise doing that even if you are only a 'maybe' for the ride. That will encourage others of similar ability to come forward also - this gets more people turning up, and bigger grous are more social, more efficient, and will make you a better rider.

If anyone needs any further information or advice on this, please reach out to me, or another member of the coaching team.
