Long Distance Home

This area forms a mini-website within RAF Tri and is specifically for all long distance athletes. Hopefully over time we can build up a number of resources here related specifically to going long. If you have any information in the following areas please let us know:

 

Racing - venues and reports

Training - advice, programmes etc

Other useful information

 

Don't forget to check the forum to exchange ideas, post information etc. After our recent problems with the website it might be an idea for you save the forum address in order that you can access it directly if the main website should be down for any reason. Important announcements and news will always be posted on the website as a priority, with the forum as a backup.

 

A summary of performances are available in the racing section, plus details of coming events.

This long distance area of the website now has a News page and a Training area together with a racing section.

 

I'm now looking after this area for the Webmaster. Please feel free to email me suggestions for inclusion. Thanks,

 

IMPORTANT - Without your contributions there will be nothing new to read!


Many of us completed our first IM distance event last season (06) and it's interesting to note just how many are finding it hard to get motivated again. I've done a little surfing and found a few articles which might help. See here for post IM blues and staying motivated. There's also an interesting article on stress and the immune system, maybe a good one to read as we head into coughs and colds season!
