Start Your Endurance Training Today ? CSU REC

?

Are you the type of person who likes to run marathons? Are you hoping to improve your swimming technique? Looking to join a cycling club? Finding a successful training program is often the key to success. The Cleveland Series at the Cleveland State Recreation Center focuses on the different aspects of endurance sports to meet the needs of all fitness enthusiasts.

?

The Cleveland Series is divided into three focus areas: Cleveland Runs, Cleveland Rides and Cleveland Swims. Each program centers on the skills needed to excel in each of the three endurance sports. Participants can sign up for one program or all three. All experience levels are encouraged to register ? from beginners to seasoned veterans.

?

Each program connects the participants with a group of fellow athletes to train with. Sabrina Ryan, the Fitness and Wellness Coordinator, believes this group dynamic is essential to training.

?

?It helps them to get other perspectives and increase pace,? Ryan said.

?

Program sessions meet two times a week, but the trainers create workouts for off days to keep the training regimen going. Training sessions increase in intensity as the weeks go on.

?

?We push people to really simulate what?s going to happen in a race,? Ryan said.

?

Besides training, the series also offers free clinics that focus on specific skill areas. Planned clinics include open water swimming, running mechanics and functional strength training, among others.

?

The clinics help individuals improve on specific skill sets, according to Aquatics Coordinator Cindi Bartko.

?

Bartko said swimming, in particular, is very technique-driven, and the clinics provide insight on how to master challenging skills.

?

The Cleveland Series offers so much more than just a typical training club. The cost effective programs provide specialized, focused training. With highly experienced and qualified trainers, the Cleveland Series is helping athletes train for any distance.
