As endurance athletes, it's best to develop and work certain physiological systems in a specific way, carefully layering up an unassailable foundation--and then adding a super charged battery on top.
In the early 2000s, cyclist and coach Bill Black invented a workout called the "hour of power," which has become a mainstay of many cycling plans. Here, we break it down, offer some progression and ride strategies, and give a bit of its history in our sport!
Breathing correctly is crucial in the life of an athlete. You can watch cyclists in the peloton and see the many different ways that they breath. Ever notice those super-thin athletes blowing their bellies out? That's diaphragmic breathing. In this quick video, we'll break down the three fundamental ways to take your endurance sport to the next level.
Training Peaks Variability Index (VI) is a metric used in fitness and performance analysis for endurance athletes. It quantifies the intensity fluctuations within a training session, providing insights into the overall effort and strain on the athlete. This index helps athletes and coaches assess training stress and tailor future workouts for optimal performance improvements in endurance sports like cycling and running.
Cycling is an efficiency sport! As a coach, I can most directly influence three fundamental systems: metabolic, cardiovascular and the neuromuscular. We get faster on the bike by building efficiency in all three--and TrainingPeaks gives us some metrics to do this by.
Winning a race on event day comes down to one thing--performance. The athlete with the best performance wins the day. But performance has hundreds of components.
Acting is one of those components!
Yes! There are some basic physics behind pacing that we should all know for your next event. Whether it's a gran fondo, TT, road race or crit, the physics of pacing plays a key role in your overall performance for the day!
