Autumn and winter months are the perfect time to take a step back and analyse how far you've come this season. It's also the ideal opportunity to assess your technique in the pool, on the bike and run as well as thinking about how you can better fuel your training and optimise recovery with smart nutrition planning.

At TCUK we offer a wide range of additional services all with the same objectives: to help you to improve and enhance your performance and achieve that PB next year!

As we head into the winter months, here in the northern hemisphere at least (zip it you lot south of the equator!), it's time to treat yourself to some training miles in the sun with a week-long training camp at Sands Beach on the island of Lanzarote.

For the last two summers #TeamTCUK athletes have descended on the beautiful town of Morzine in the French Alps for a training camp to remember with Buzz Performance. Co-owner of Buzz Performance, Amelia Person explains what you can expect if you fancy joining us next year for some unforgettable swim, bike and run (and socialising!) triathlon training experience!

The 'Kick on Side' swim drill witll help you to develop good alignment and prepare you for the catch set up.

Using fins kick on your side at 90 degrees. Pay attention to drawing your shoulder blades back and maintaining the lead arm pointing down the pool. Fingertips should be below the wrist and wrist below the elbow - try and feel for water running across the top of the hand.

At TCUK our swim programmes focus on 3 important areas. Firstly we want to help you to improve technique.

While we appreciate every athlete is unique we do also see at our swim squads and when performing video analysis of swimming technique that many athletes make the same mistakes commonly. With this in mind we plan sessions each week with a focus on improving technique.
