- Power Training Seminar Series
Join Blake for 3 evenings in January at the West Madison Trek Store to learn how to integrate power in your training and racing.
Jan 8 • 6:30-7:30pm: THE BASICS OF POWER - This is an overview of what power is and how it is measured. There will be an introduction to the terminology and the Power tap. Attendees will also learn why training with power is more effective than traditional methods of heart rate and perceived exertion. Q&A will end the session.
Jan 22 • 6:30-7:30pm: INTEGRATION OF POWER INTO TRAINING AND RACING - Learn how to use power effectively and get the most out of your training & racing. Learn about training zones, power tests and guidelines to follow while out on the bike.
Jan 29 • 6:30-7:30pm: ANALYZING AND INTERPRETING DATA - Learn how to be able to download your power file, what that file means and how to read the data. Then learn how to integrate the results into your future training and racing.
BLAKE'S TRAINING TIPS
- Training Your Bike In Colder Climates
- The winters in colder climates can be snowy, dark and get very long. This doesn't mean that your bike fitness has to suffer. Try using winter sports such as xc-skiing and snowshoeing for supplemental training to take care of the steady state component to your training. Ride the trainer a few times each week for about and hour where you focus on the strength/force component of your training. Then use winter cross training on the weekends and focus on steady state training.
