Workout times and locations vary depending on the time of year, and are subject to change on a week-to-week basis. Club members can view the locations and workout details each week on the Member’s section of the RMTC website, under Weekly Workout.

RUN WORKOUTS

Tuesday “track” or interval-focused run workouts take place most of the year. Locations vary depending on the season, but usually we utilize a track at a Denver Public School in the Spring through the Fall, and run in one of the large Denver Parks through the Winter months (Washington Park, City Park, etc.) We occasionally meet at Ruby Hill Park or Mile High Stadium to run hills as well. 

Thursday run workouts also take place most of the year. In the Summer months, these are often trail runs that take place on the various trails in the foothills.

SWIM WORKOUTS

In the Summer many members enjoy swimming at the Gravel Pond at Chatfield State Park. We have several organized events there throughout the Summer months.

We also swim at an area pool once or twice per week throughout the year.

BIKE RIDES AND BRICKS

Saturday and/or Sunday morning bike rides and bricks take place year-round at various locations across the Front Range, from Sedalia to Boulder.

Monthly club meetings typically take place the 1^st Tuesday of each month (except Dec-Feb) immediately following the track workout. The location of the meetings changes from month to month.

We do encourage individuals to register as a member prior to joining the club for a workout. This is for liability reasons. However, if you want to check things out first, email the officer team at officers@rmtriclub.com as requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.

The track workouts start with a warm-up of approximately 800 meters, followed by group stretching and plyometric drills. The workout is designed to increase speed and endurance usually consists of repeats around the track in varying intensities and distances, depending on the members’ level of fitness. Members can view the specifics of each workout under the Weekly Workout section of the website each week.

The swims are approximately 60-75 minutes long and range in distance and intensity depending on the members’ level of fitness. There are three different levels of swim workout offered each week ranging from approximately 2000 meters to 3500 meters. The workouts typically consist of a warm-up, drills and combination of endurance sets and sprints, followed by a cool-down. There are typically 4 people sharing a lane.

The swim workouts are designed for people who already have a basic level of swim skill and fitness. Please contact info@rmtriclub.com for additional information and recommendations regarding individual swim instruction or lessons.

Bike workouts vary for location and distances. For larger group rides, we will try to assign group leaders based on ability. RidewithGPS links are always provided for each ride as well. It is your responsibility to bring your own water, nutrition, and tire repair kits (tubes and CO2 cartridges) for rides.

Members can join our private Google Group, which is great for this purpose. Simply post a message that you are planning a workout (ride/run/swim) and would like company, and usually at least a few people will join you!
