Interval runs are an effective way to increase your speed and are an important component in a run program.  It is a hard effort so there is an increased chance of injury.  The workouts start with an easy warm-up, followed by a hard main set and then a cooldown.  There is an optional group stretch at the end.

The Bridgewater Triathlon Club held their annual spring tri-camp on Saturday April 16th at various locations around Lunenburg.

Under the careful guidance of Coach Colin, we swam, ran and biked followed by a most delicious supper at Scuttlebutt.  Many thanks to Jen for her support.

Congratulations to all the participants … by all measures you’re heading into a good season!
