With all the new training opportunities coming this year, we've added a Workout Calendar to the website. Note the new page addition on the left side of the screen.
Special thanks to Cycling Czars Jason Weinland & Patrick Marr and Running Czars Mike McHalffey & Daniel Anderson for organizing and putting together ride & run workouts.
Simply click on the workout tab and the workout information, ie. location, time, type of workout, will pop-up.
Be sure to check the back from time to time in case changes or updates have been made. We will try our best to inform you as these changes occur.
Sunrise,
Jason Weinland, our Cycling Czar (first ever for Sunrise I believe), has sent me the attached cycling regimen and the following information about the new cycling program. We already know that Jason has teamed up with Patrick Marr to put together a program for Sunrise and for both the Shreveport and Bossier sides of the river but when I opened the attachment and saw the names of the coaches they lined up, I was amazed. I saw club members Tony Bouso and Mike McHalffey on the schedule along with several of the members from Team LaS'port, all stellar athletes and all willing to teach! If you are new to this sport you owe it to yourself to jump on board this program. It WILL make you stronger.
Great stuff Jason & Patrick, thanks!
Attached is a cycling regimen designed to promote group training rides in Shreveport and Bossier City. This schedule is also posted on the Sunrise web site.
Please note the following:
1. The ride schedule is designed to promote time trialing, the essential cycling skill for triathlons. Those training for long-course events probably already know how to tailor their schedule to accommodate the demands of longer endurance events;
2. Currently, the course of the traditional Linwood Loop (or Tuesday and Thursday Worlds as Team LaS’port call the rides) is under construction. But while the course might change, the spirit of the ride will not. We will keep you posted as to the disposition of the course and any potential change to the venue;
3. This is an experiment and we realize that some of these rides may not be popular or the times may interfere with other Sunrise training events, i.e. the Monday / Wednesday runs. The ongoing schedule will be a work in progress until we get it right. Suggestions are welcomed;
4. As we stated in the announcement, the intention of the rides is to be inclusive. All skill levels are welcomed and all will be coached;
5. The first ride will be Sunday, March 14th . The schedule calls for intervals, but that ride is at the coach’s direction;
6. And now for the disclaimer: this is a competitive sport. There will be times when the group rides away from you. You will get dropped. It happens to everyone. Vow to come back ride harder. And when you do come back, you will get stronger. That’s a promise;
We look forward to seeing everyone on the road.

Sunrise Members:
We will be organizing weekly afternoon training runs twice a week on Mondays & Wednesdays. These will begin March 15 @ 6pm after the time changes. The runs will be usually 4-6 miles and take place on the Clyde Fant trail in Shreveport or Arthur Teague trail in Bossier City. We chose these locations because they are accessible for parking as well as safety, i.e. no vehicles. These being out & back courses solves the problem of memorizing a mapped route or getting lost. Plus it gives opportunity to interact & encourage each other.
The runs are for everyone, regardless of pace or experience; veteran or newbie. The runs will be at your own pace but will be designed to help everyone to improve their running skills.
After a bit of time we will implement some run workouts to fit different needs & paces. Typical workouts may include tempo runs, fartleks and negative split runs. If you are not sure of what these types of runs are no need to worry we will help and explain as they are added in.
The main goals of these weekly runs are to provide a quality work out and give club members to train & interact with fellow Sunrisers.
More information will come as we progress in the year.
See you soon,
