2024 marked my 15th year of teaching a winter training program, and I can confidently say it was the best one yet. Over the years, I’ve refined my classes, drawing on extensive research to design workouts that address the core needs of recreational cyclists. From improving aerobic fitness and muscular endurance to enhancing threshold, anaerobic capacity, cadence, and pedal stroke efficiency, each session is crafted to help you become a more complete cyclist.
FREE CLASS! Experience the Ride That Enhances Muscular Endurance
Not sure if this program is for you? I’d like to offer you a free ride from last year’s program: Session #6, a Sweet Spot Muscular Endurance Ride. This class is packed with tools and insights to elevate your cycling:
- Targeted Intervals: Four 8-minute efforts at sweet spot intensity (high Zone 3/low Zone 4) to build strength and stamina without overtaxing your system.
- Dynamic Playlist: Energizing rock and electronic beats for the intervals, with indie tunes for the warm-up and recoveries, and a powerful song to cool down.
- Precision Training: Clear guidance on intensity targets using power zones (FTP), heart rate zones, and perceived exertion, helping you tune into your body’s signals.
- Focused Riding: Early cueing ensures you understand the objective, followed by long stretches of silence so you can immerse yourself in the ride, visualizing your favorite outdoor route.
- Heart Rate Insights: Learn how to interpret your heart rate at different intensities, with practical anecdotes from my own experience to deepen your understanding.
- Breath Control: Techniques to regulate heart rate and stay centered during challenging efforts.
- Mental Strength Tools: Use “mile markers” to stay committed during tough intervals, preparing you for the program’s progression into mental resilience.
This ride is more than just a workout—it’s an opportunity to experience the intentionality and purpose behind each session of the RideStrong program.
Ride Stronger, Smarter, and More Confidently
Cycling isn’t just about physical fitness; it’s about resilience, strategy, and confidence. This class is just the beginning. The full RideStrong program will guide you through every aspect of training, from mastering technique to pushing your limits with mental strength. By the end of the 10 weeks, you’ll be a better, stronger, and more empowered cyclist, ready to tackle any challenge—on or off the bike.
