Speed Shop Updates

The Fall Session is coming to a close this week. It has been amazing!  We had so many hard working athletes honing their riding skills and techniques in addition to increasing fitness during this 6 week session.  It's time to take a short recovery break before the winter work begins.

The 10 week Winter Session begins on January 9, 2012.  This Session is a progressive program based on periodization training with each week building on the next.  It's a great way to get ready for the outdoor season. Registration for the Winter Session is open and going strong.  There are still spots left so scoot over to  BikeReg all the scoop.  You can even check the confirmed rider list to see what your friends are up to.


The Functional Threshold Power (FTP) classes will be offered the first week in January to get you ready for the Winter Session.  If you have been coming to the Fall Session it is important to get your information updated so you are current for the work ahead this winter.  If you do not own a power meter and are starting classes in the Winter Session the FTP Class is highly recommended.   Obtaining your current FTP will allow you to train most efficiently during the CT classes.  In addition to Power Zones, the classes will be providing percentages of FTP for maximum performance.   The class is 1hr and includes a good warm up, a 20 minute Time Trial effort to obtain an average power output and a cool down.  Each rider will receive a report explaining how to use the data. 
The new ErgVideos are all based on percentages of your FTP.  Please consider this class for optimal results for the 10 week Winter Session.
