Resource of the Month: Podrunner |
 |
Each month, the Wenzel Coaching newsletter brings
you a free or economical resource to help you
enhance your training. This month, we bring you
Podrunner, a podcast with lots of great music for
indoor workouts.
Since we are on the subject of indoor training this
month, the
Podrunner Podcast is a great resource to
highlight at a time when much of the country is
battling frigid temperatures. Podrunner is the
creation of dj steveboy, and every week he brings
you a new podcast featuring 1 hour long music
selections to keep you cranking it over for those
trainer workouts.
The websites found in the "Resource of the Month"
are in no way associated with Wenzel Coaching and

Power-training Tip of the Month |
 |
Use your power-meter's memory function to it's best
effect: Don't just upload the data and walk away.
Review the ride. Did you do what you were supposed
to do? Did you hold the suggested cadence? The
suggested power or heart rate? It is possible for a
skilled rider to maintain power within just a few
watts and heart rate within a few beats for many
minutes at a time? How do you do at this?
