Training Term
|
Off-Season: a time of suspended or reduced activity; especially the time during which an athlete is not training or competing. As the summer winds down, and the race season comes to a close, many athletes are looking forward to a well deserved break. As coaches, this is the time of year that we worry the most about our athletes. They have spent months racking up the miles, working hard and improving their fitness. While some time away from the bike can do the mind and the body good, too much time off can ruin a season's worth of training. As you have probably found from experience, it is a lot easier to lose fitness than it is to gain it. A couple of months of inactivity can easily wipe out a full summer of training. Planning a proper off-season with your coach is the first step to success next year!

Greetings!
With our recent anniversary the Optimize Endurance Services team met to celebrate, reminisce about our first five years and discuss our future. As a business, we're busier than ever; traveling to clients for testing, coaching athletes, partnering with exciting events, growing our mountain bike team all while our degreed and certified coaches work hard staying up to date on the latest training methods. All of these facets have helped to build our business and allow us to provide a high level of service to our clients. To maintain that level of service we continue to work hard at streamlining our processes, reducing our costs and looking for new opportunities. We also do a regular review of the marketplace to ensure that we are offering our services at a competitive cost to our clients. To continue to grow as a business and offer premium service to our clients we will be making some adjustments to our current pricing structure. These changes are outlined below.
As a thank you to our current clients and friends for their continued patronage of Optimize Endurance Services, we are extending a special offer: Purchase and schedule any testing service (Lactate Threshold or Resting Metabolic Rate) before October 15th and receive current pricing regardless of when your testing appointment has been scheduled for.
As always, our main focus is to continue helping our clients achieve their goals through optimized training.
Thank You for Your Patronage!
~The OES Team |

OES-Specialized Purist Bottle
It's hard to get excited about something as mundane as a water bottle. But, as any cyclist will tell you, a good bottle is worth its weight in gold. Enter the OES-Specialized Purist bottle. What makes this bottle so special? To start, the inside is coated with a layer of super smooth silicon dioxide. This shields the bottle from odor, staining and mold. It also makes cleaning a breeze. Simply shake with some soapy water, rinse and you're good to go. Another exciting feature lies in the cap. The Purist features a one-way flow valve which prevents spills even in the open position, eliminating the need to open and close the top when on the bike.
