Build Period in Full Swing

Ali Winslow - Wednesday, January 06, 2010
Well last night everyone's new years resolutions were firing on all pistons!  30+ people in our first winter cycling class.  They were packed in tight, trainer to trainer, heart rate monitors on, cycling computers working, heads in the game.  The BPC cycling class last night-and this morning were filled with determined athletes and great energy.
It's always fun to see old faces and new faces in these classes and from my perspective, the best part of last night was the new workout formats.  I love to change things up on clients and athletes-keep them on their toes and keep them focused on learning new things.  I will tell you, we did get some resistance at first, but I truly believe with this new program athletes will learn to be more proactive in their own cycling workouts which will eventually translate to better overall fitness and most importantly, awareness of what they can do.

Last nights and todays workouts were a test of endurance, determination and current fitness with the vVO2 test.  This test comes from the work of Billat and helps the athletes to learn their velocity at VO2 max or their wattage at VO2 max.  Now with this data, the athlete can do specific intervals at a percentage of their vVO2, giving them clear feedback on performance.  

I am looking forward to the next 10 weeks to see the progress and development of these cyclists and triathletes.  This is going to be a tough 10 weeks of training, but it will all pay off in March.

See ya there.
