Without an established 'foundation' of aerobic training, most athletes can never realize their true potential over the long term. Steady state aerobic training offers many benefits including building mitochondria, improving capillary density and improving fatty acid utilization.

For many athletes, the season is now over and their focus should shift away from hard interval work back to the fundamentals of 'laying down base' after a short period of rest and recovery. This is where the Spinervals Aero Base Builders come into play as part of a smart training program.

Aero Base Builders, which are based on the concept of 'aerobic intervals' are workouts designed specifically to focus on pedaling skill development and aerobic foundation building. Ranging from 1 hour to 2 hours, these workouts in the Spinervals series (5 of them) should be performed in almost any order from 2-5 days a week, depending on the athlete's focus and experience, for most of the 'base building' cycle of one's annual periodized training schedule.

This winter, take a training vacation to sunny Tucson Arizona and our 6th Annual Training Camp.

Choose from either a 4-day or 7-day program that is designed to help you gain momentum and build your fitness as you move towards the new season.  Enjoy incredible riding scenery through the high desert and a town that most athletes consider to be one of the premier winter training destinations in the world.

In our 6th consecutive year, our camps are attended by people of all ability levels and from all walks of life from throughout the country. A great mix of people always means a camp experience full of solid training and lots of fun too!

We do anticipate a full camp again this year so CLICK HERE for more details and to sign up or visit www.spinervals.com today!
