Canoeing Ireland Coaches Workshop

Thanks to Benny Cullan, Neil Flemming and Canoeing Ireland for the coach update workshop on Saturday. During the day long session we looked at the coaching structure of CI and the LTAD plan. Later we looked at periodisation and how & where this fits within the LTADP depending on the age group being coached.

The afternoon session was based around the results from our lactate tests. How these tests determine how we should adapt our training for better results. Really useful info and something that we will incorporate into the Irish Kayak and Waveski riders programmes.














Typical results of an almost all  anaerobic training programme. More aerobic base needed I think! That line will be flat in a few months!

Here is some footage from the recent Ocean Addicts waveski & surf kayak coaching camp. Really good group of people on the course so made it a very enjoyable week. The footage is from sessions where students were working on various skills such as getting air, cut backs and re-entries. Plenty of spills so we know they were trying! Thank you again to everyone involved for making it a great week. Look out for the upcoming feature on kayaksurf.net from their roving reporter Pete Copp who has some quality pictures too!
