Ridestrong Training Program

What makes RIDESTRONG different?

The RideStrong Training Program is a 9-week cycling clinic designed to increase your cycling fitness and improve your technique so you are more prepared for the cycling season than ever before.

RideStrong is designed for anyone from a newbie to cycling who wants to improve endurance and comfort while riding to intermediate or more advanced recreational cyclists with big goals such as century rides, bike tours, or setting personal bests. Or anyone who simply just wants to keep up with their cycling buddies.

It is also appropriate for those who only ride inside but who are committed to a structured training program to elicit the greatest performance improvements.

What you can expect from this training:

FTP/lactate threshold testing at the beginning and end
Skills drills to improve efficiency and technique
A progressive program to gradually increase intensity over time
- Aerobic endurance development (the easier work)
- Muscular endurance training (the moderate work)
- Threshold improvement (the harder work)
- Anaerobic capacity work (the even harder work!)
Weekly educational and motivational emails
Handouts with more in-depth information about the work we are doing
Exclusive Facebook group where you can ask training and technique questions, share your improvement, cheer on other participants!
Weekly “homework” (tips for an endurance ride on your own)
Suggested cross-training to enhance you cycling training

Classes will be offered Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:00 pm and 5:30 pm MST (6:00 pm and 7:30 pm EST). New this year: there will be an on-demand option available but it is only available for 48 hours after the original live stream (to encourage riders to stay committed and follow the structure).

While this program is designed around improving your power output and a power meter is suggested, it is not mandatory. You can use a heart rate monitor as we will also estimate lactate threshold. A console with cadence is helpful.

You can ride on any indoor bike for this program, a stationary indoor bike or your road bike on a trainer. You can even do the classes on a stationary bike at your gym. For that, I recommend a handlebar attachment for your phone or iPad such as this one so you can watch the classes and connect your headphones.

Regardless of whether you have a power meter or not, you should have a heart rate monitor. I recommend this one, the Wahoo TICKR which will connect via Bluetooth to any app or console.

In this program, you will learn how to observe and monitor your heart rate response to your training, and what changes might be necessary when the heart rate doesn’t respond as it usually does. You’ll be able to take this knowledge out on the road with you wherever you ride.

If you rode with me last year, the RideStrong program is 1 week longer but at a lower price than it was last year so you know you will get incredible value!

Jennifer’s RideStrong cycling classes were excellent…they really helped me build my base so that I could ride further outside. I rode 2226 mi outside after the classes finished. I couldn't have done it without the skills that we practiced and the knowledge that I gained. Many times while I was riding, your tips and mantras were playing in my head keeping me going and making sure I was on track. I am looking forward to taking the RideStrong classes again.

Jennifer is perhaps one of the top indoor cycling instructors in the country. She was dedicated to helping each person set a baseline by conducting threshold testing (and) used those results to design her classes.(She is) a true fitness professional who knows how to teach and coach. …her playlists are always spot on, fun, worldly, and inspiring. (*see Laurie’s full testimonial below.)

I joined the Ride Strong program last year and have been excited to start again this year. Jennifer’s program starts my cycling fitness, teaches me to understand my physical data and encourages me to set higher goals. I enjoy the riding progression, great music, and learning new techniques. When outdoor Spring riding adventures begin here in Vail CO I’m ready to roll!

*Here is Laurie Geromini's full testimonial

Jennifer is perhaps one of the top indoor cycling instructors in the country. Her classes are carefully planned, methodical, and easy to follow. She focuses not only on the mechanics of pedal stroke, but also helps the rider to use and understand power and heartbeat to achieve their individual fitness goals. Her RideStrong program was a great way for me to build a base heading into the summer outdoor riding season. She was dedicated to helping each person set a baseline by conducting threshold testing. She then used those results to design her classes. She set up an exclusive group chat for us, and was available to answer our questions at any time. Jennifer's class is not for the the person who wants to lift weights on a bike and jump around to pop music. It is for the beginner and advanced who want to not only get a great and proper workout, but to learn the craft of indoor cycling. A true fitness professional who knows how to teach and coach. I would be remiss if I didn't mention her playlists are always spot on, fun, worldly, and inspiring.
