2011 Christmas Party at Oxford 152 Announced: Save The Date!

The Drive Fitness Christmas Party has become the most popular event on our event calendar and we expect this year will be the biggest ever!

The details for the 2012 Drive Fitness Christmas Party have been confirmed. We would like to let everyone know well in advance that we will be holding this years Christmas Party in the private lounge area of the Oxford 152 on Oxford St, Bulimba. The date is November 18 starting from 7pm.

Every year for the last 4 years we have looked forward to a great opportunity to catch up with everyone outside of training and out of our sweaty gym gear. We hope to enjoy the company of as many people as possible this year so please save the date in your calendar.

We have watched the Christmas Party event grow from less then 40 people attending in 2008 at the Mt Gravatt Hotel, through to last year that saw us exceed the capacity of the private function space at Dicey Rileys, Mt Gravatt. We will continue to let people know about the 2011 Christmas Party as we creep closer.

Bridge to Brisbane 12 Week Training Program: Week 1 (20 June - 26 June)

Here is week 1 of 12 on the road to Bridge to Brisbane! If you cannot complete the set week 1 sessions or they are too easy for you, you may need to scale them to an appropriate intensity. Sessions will progress from week to week. Complete the sessions in order if possible. We will be doing session 3 together on Saturday morning 7am as part of the walk & run club. 

For more information about how to complete the different session types, the different paces and how to structure your training week please see our previous post introducing the 12 week programs: http://drivefitness.blogspot.com/2011/06/introducing-drive-fitness-bridge-to.html. 

Remember to keep your cross training (XT) sessions going  - two per week if possible. These sessions are important for your strength, power, flexibility and recovery - all of which are important for your 10km walk/run training. If you have any questions about the 12 week training program please chat to your trainer next session.
