Introduction to Training and Racing with Power, Wednesday, 4/18, 7-8pm
In only a few short years, power meters have become an essential training tool for amateur and pro cyclists and triathletes. Coach Doug Bush takes the mystery out of training with power. In this 60 minute introduction to power we will cover basic power terms and metrics, types of power meters, and analysis of power files using WKO+ software. If you train with power, or you are thinking about buying a power meter, this class is a great way to get familiar with power training. Free. RSVP to Trish 
 
VO2 Max/Lactate Threshold Testing, Thursday, 4/19, by appointment

Are you training with all the facts?

Take the guesswork out of your training by accurately determining your correct training intensity.  When using a heart rate monitor or a power meter it is crucial to establish training zones based around your functional threshold rather than using maximum heart rate equations or filed tests. Sports Science research has shown that using threshold to establish training zones is the most precise way to establish training zones. Until recently performance testing was only available for elite athletes or through University performance labs.  It is now available for all athletes!

Benefits of Testing

  • Establish exact training zones for maximum performance and weight loss. 
  • Detailed heart rate and power based zones.
  • Determine endurance sports genetic potential based on VO2 Max.
  • Identify possible weaknesses in metabolic energy systems.
  • Determine fitness level.

Cost: $120
