Objectives
Improve fitness, strength and technique in a friendly atmosphere out of the weather
Format
Evenings are led by one or two experienced tarbabies (Shane, Westie, Ric or Malcolm)
from the stage, calling the shots with the aid of a PA kit.
They start with a warm-up for about 10 min followed by some stretching. The main event consists of one or more circuits of a notional circuit with a mixture of cadence, gearing and load to simulate hills and wind conditions. After more stretches to ease the lactate, its time to wipe up the sweat, pack up and stumble out.
On the first Wednesday of each month, evenings start with a Body In Line stretching session led by Vanessa Green, adding 20min to the total session.
October and November evenings are 30min longer as part of the build up for Taupo
Total "distance" travelled averages 40km
