Sports Massage

We aim to have sports massage available both before and after the events on each day across Long Course Weekend. This year we are delighted to introduce Triston from West Helath who will be providing this years’ service.

Triston is a fully qualified clinic director & specialist physiotherapist based in Pembrokeshire.

Triston and his team will be providing treatments at The Long Course Weekend Village at EXPO and recovery centres. We are offering a pre-pay booking system ahead of the event weekend. We recommend using our booking system as this will guarantee you a massage appointment.

Training the Swimming Energy systems Training the Swimming Energy systems

As triathletes were all familiar with the 5 training zones but in swimming, we like to make things more scientific and slightly more technical. This month I will be explaining the Swimming Energy systems with an easy-to-follow guide to help you put together your own swim session plan.

Top Tip - Start with a sprint tri early in the season. Swansea is a good one to get your confidence up as the swim is in SA1 Dock which is a great environment as you don’t have to battle the seas tide and currents.

‘Plan some regular swim sets’ ‘Plan some regular swim sets’

It’s important to keep your threshold swimming going over during the ‘off’ season. Below you find two swim sessions which will help you going into the winter months. Try these twice a week and record your times. You can adjust the rest times and distances according to your ability. Feel free to reach out to the coaches at Heathwood swimming in Cardiff for extra help or any questions you may have regarding swim sets or drills.
