New 'experienced' group squad organisation

Following assessment of the group over the first 2 weeks of the term the squad is to be re-organised into two training groups, effctive as of this evening. These two groups will be:

Men: O'Keeffe, O'Sullivan, Coughlan, Cronin, Lingwood, O'Leary, Crowley, McGuckin, Kearney, Kerins, Whooley and Hagel

Women: Larkin, Beatty and O'Brien
Coxes: Wanigasekera and Crean

 

Novice:

Tuesday 6:30pm Squad gym (warm-up in main gym, into SG by 6:50pm)
Wednesday 6:30am Shandon BC
Thursday 7:30pm Squad gym (warm-up in main gym, into SG by 7:50pm)
Saturday and Sunday 7am-12pm Shandon BC

(Later in the term a 6pm session will be added on Wednesday, this will normally be a 10k run based out of the Mardyke arena)

This group has been selected based on an ability to make effective use of the programme. The focus of the programme is on quality mileage and drills (water), quality hard miles (ergo) and appropriate strength and conditioning (squad gym).

Novice: This group will train at the following times:
Tuesday 6:30am Cork BC
Tuesday 5pm Squad gym
Wednesday 6pm Mardyke Arena
Thursday 6pm: Squad gym
Saturday and Sunday 1pm-3pm Shandon BC
Athletes in this group will have a greater focus on establishing the basics of the rowing stroke and training. Water work will see mileage increase as appropriate, ergos will have a higher technical focus and strength and conditioning will also be at the appropriate level. This group will be mixed in with the new intake as suitable for the acceleration of the new intake's development with the objective of creating the strongest possible novice squad in the Summer.

The overall objective is that best use of time is made for both athletes and coaches.
