ABOUT SPIN 90
The Spin 90 cycling training program by Coach John Hughes has been developed after years of racing, studying, and training with top level athletes. There are thousands of training programs, but the Spin 90 program goes beyond just a workout or ordinary training plan. John and his instructors break down the "how and why" of each exercise while simulating real life riding situations to make you smarter and stronger.

Anne has developed and managed numerous training programs, and is recognized for her commitment to and knowledge of the sport of triathlon.
TIPS FROM THE PROS
From John Hughes, Spin 90 Coach
Someone gave me a very wise prospective on triathlon training the other day: "A triathlete should swim with swimmers, ride with cyclists, and run with runners." As a triathlete, you should find training partners that have a single discipline, as they will push you harder and help you learn new techniques you may not pick up otherwise. As a cycling coach, time trialist, and racer, I work with and train hundreds of triathletes. The biggest area of improvement for most athletes is not in their overall training, but in bike handling (using the machine smarter) and reading the terrain. Train hard, but work on each discipline with athletes who know their sport better than you. This will help you become a jack of all trades!
From Anne Johnson, TriFitness Training Coach:
You will achieve the best results when your body has time to learn. Use the race off-season to improve on your technique. Triathlon is a lifestyle, not an obsession, and you should include your family and friends! They are the best form of support!
Incorporate a variety of strokes into swim training. Adding individual medley (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle) intervals into your warm-up and cool-downs will build strength and flexibility, which helps with your freestyle technique. |
