We have been discussing with our brothers in Canada (Hasnain Kara) about doing some structured training to improve ourselves, get fitter, and become better riders. With a plethora of available options online (Zwift, Training Peaks, etc), where does one start, what does one do? Well how about a coach? With that in mind, We have reached out to a well known coach offering a group/guided training program with the following details:
8 Weeks of Training (3-4 hours per week minimum).
Price:
10 to 14 riders $90per rider.
15 to 19 riders $85per rider.
20 to 24 riders $80per rider.
Requirements:
- Smart Trainer, cadence with Wahoo, Garmin, Zwift. Or
- Power Meter, cadence with Zone Cards. Or
- Dumb Trainer, virtual power with Speed sensor and cadence
This would include set up of Training Peaks basic account with B1 for everyone. With a free short term Trial of Training Peaks Premium for all B1 Coached riders. Premium is not required for the program.
Without a doubt the best way to train is with a smart trainer based on your FTP test and external cadence sensor.
As you can see above there are other options that do work. Riders can also train with a dumb trainer based on heart rate or rating of preserved effort. ?
Together Fit, Stronger, Faster!!!
Please see the Q&A for a bit more details above.
