Do you struggle to remain motivated to ride the bike through the Winter? Are you seeking a significant jump in your cycling performance for 2021? Would you like to understand more about your own cycling limiters and participate in a structured cycling development program? Blast through the cold depths of winter cycling in a group environment, working together, suffering together, and being coached through your workouts and come into the season with a stronger base than ever before.
This popular indoor, Zwift based program is designed specifically for those seeking to improve their cycling power, mechanics, and endurance. Athletes will gain an understanding of their specific strengths and weaknesses and track their progress throughout the program through regular testing protocols. The principal focus will be to boost FTP, V02Max, & cycling stamina in preparation for race specific training that begins in the Spring.
Group workouts (3 per week) are interactive, no drop rides, with discussion of training concepts and goals from a professional cycling coach. Solo workouts are also prescribed each week. Athletes will be guided through a specific progression of bike workouts and individual testing. The program will establish a robust base that is relevant to cyclists competing in multiple cycling disciplines and triathletes competing in a variety of triathlon distances. Athletes will be streamed based upon their existing athletic capabilities so that athletes of varying levels of fitness are supported. The program culminates with a virtual race/group ride event as a way to test new skills & abilities.
Requirements: Athletes will require a Zwift subscription, Power Meter and/or Smart Trainer, Standard Trainer with speed/cadence sensors to enroll in this program. Should you have questions regarding your technology please contact Coach Peter prior to enrolling in the program.
