Practices – Winter term YOGA!
Description of practices:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday swims- There are five lanes at Dixon devoted to the club for our swim workouts and each lane has a different speed, so all levels of swimming can be suited. Monday is considered to be “drill day” as at least 600yards of the workout are dedicated toward performing drills. The M, W, F swims are meant for yardage and for an actual workout. Depending on which lane you swim in, the yardage can vary from 2,050 yards for those swimming in the 2:10/100 lane to 3,300 yards for those swimming in the 1:20/100 lane. 2:10/100 signifies which base you’ll be swimming at. This means that you have two minutes and ten seconds to swim one hundred yards and whatever time you have left is your rest
Tuesday, Thursday swims- These swims are for swim technique, not for an actual workout or for yardage. During these swim practices you can either learn how to swim or how to swim more efficiently. As with all swim practices, all levels of swimming are welcome.
Monday spin class- This spin class is supposed to be a “recovery” bike ride on a spin bike. The intervals are short and are similar to other spin classes in the sense that there is a lot of standing up and sitting back down on the saddle. This spin class is meant to build power. All levels are welcome as only the individual can control the level of resistance on the spin bike. A 1-2 mile transition run on the upstairs track or on the track outside Dixon is available for those who wish to do so after the spin workout. A core workout after the spin is another option available for those who wish to do it.
Tuesday track/intervals run- This run is designed to be high intensity and to build speed. All levels are welcome and no one can be left behind as we will be running on the Corvallis High School Track. Workouts can be adjusted for running fitness.
Wednesday run- This workout is meant to be a long “recovery” run. All levels of running are welcome and the run leader will always stay behind with whoever needs some company.
Wednesday yoga- There will be an hour long yoga session lead by an experienced yoga instructor. All levels of stretching capability are welcome.
Thursday spin intervals- This spin workout is much higher intensity where the intervals are longer and the rest periods are shorter. This spin workout is meant to build the power and endurance you will be holding during a race. There is a semi-mandatory 1-2 mile transition run after the spin workout for everyone. If you are injured or really do not want to run, you will not be forced. A core workout is available for those who wish to participate.
Saturday bike ride- The earlier bike group is faster and will not stay behind for others. The pace is usually +20mph. The later bike group is open for all levels of bike riding as long as you have skinny tires and a descent road bike. No one will be dropped in the later bike ride, but you can still get a good workout if you choose to ride ahead.
Sunday trail run- An email will be sent out with location and time the day before. All levels of running are welcome. The runs are most often done in Mac Forest through all kinds of trails.
