Cycling Performance Class

What are Cycling Performance Classes?

Cycling Performance Classes at the Cycling Center of Dallas are all about results.

Goal of the Program - To put cyclists of all abilities through a classic progressive, periodized program over 12 weeks that will significantly improve a rider's Power Output at Threshold (the most common method of determining a cyclist's fitness).

Power Output at Threshold - the average power output that a cyclist can manage over 60 minutes.

The workouts and program spend time below, at, and above threshold, in different ways and over different periods of time and levels of intensity, to help a cyclist adequately strain their body, but then adapt so that they can pedal stronger, harder, and further than in the past.

The Cycling Center of Dallas provides an environment that is consistent in location, temperature and time, is a safe place to really push oneself to the limits, and offers a workout protocol that is incredibly effective, with cyclists routinely improving their "Power-to-Weight" ratios at threshold by 10% or more. The results are quantifiable, and workouts are a blast in this unique, 18-rider setting.

Class protocols are now just six weeks each, and are designed with North Texas' bike race, bike rally, and triathlon seasons in mind. Coach Wharton also exclusively uses the ErgVideo™ training system for CompuTrainer, which increases the realism of these workouts as cyclists follow riders on a screen through their intervals or racing simulations.
