Cycling Performance
Vo2 Building and Anaerobic Conditioning
12 Weeks, Winter/Spring
This training protocol starts off immediately hammering your Vo2 system, increasing efficiency and short- to medium-burst power. Then we actually take a step back and mix in some threshold efforts along with the Vo2max stuff, and finally, in March, we go straight in to Motorpacing and race simulations. Lots of anaerobic repeats, training your body to respond to the insane demands of road racing and short-course triathlon, as well as getting it to recover as quickly as possible, and prepare for the next heavy intervals.
TXBRA racers, this program is perfect for your early season training and race preparation. Hills will seem easier, and you'll be better able to crack the peloton or bridge to breaks in the races in and around the Hill Country in early 2009. For triathletes, this is the perfect system for gaining the intensity necessary for sprint and Olympic-distance bike legs. Rally riders will find that this will leave them well prepared for classics such as the Moritz Ride for Heroes in Fort Worth and the Lancaster Country Ride.
Threshold and Anaerobic Conditioning
12 Weeks, Spring/Early Summer
Fine tune the systems your body will be using as you enter your spring competition campaign. Just the right mix of hills and anaerobic repeats for those rolling courses, hard accelerations out of corners, and long breaks in strong crosswinds. Stamina and aggressiveness are the hallmarks of this 12-week campaign, so gain that crucial edge with our twice-weekly intervals. These are as hard as you choose to make them, but they provide a serious opportunity for increasing performance beyond any previous season.
Great for peaking at or near the time of Texas' traditional Crit and Age-Based State Road Race Championships! Rally riders will appreciate the form they show at the Mesquite Rodeo Ride, the Richardson Wild Ride, or the Collin Classic.
Prep for Hotter'n Hell 100
9-10 Weeks, Mid Summer
The most popular event for cyclists in North Texas lives up to its name with the physical heat of August and the heat from the speeds you'll hit as you steam across the prairie in and around Wichita Falls, TX.
Beat the stagnant, polluted air of summer and get ready to set new personal records as you join us inside for performance intervals that prime your threshold and tempo values. The HH100 is all about stamina, and you'll build on your early season form as you relax just enough to let the legs and lungs recover, then push ever-so-modestly toward new wattage highs in long-duration intervals.
