Trainsharp Cycle Coaching
Fitness Testing
Knowing where and how your physiology reacts as you ride will enable you and your coach to help you train efficiently and ride or race optimally.
The single best predictor of performance for today’s cyclists is the power you can produce at threshold, also known as critical power.
Training exactly at your threshold power is great, but slightly below or above threshold power is just as important. Cyclist’s wanting to ride as fast as the PRO’s need to incorporate training sessions that allows them to work close to their VO2 max, which in turn helps them to further the progress of both VO2 max and their threshold power.
TrainSharp knows the importance and has the experience in effectively being able to improve performance in endurance disciplines.
A Fitness test will allow each individual rider to know where strengths and weaknesses are at maximal and sub-maximal powers. Plus, from this you will know at what power to set your intervals and in which areas you will be best spending time to develop.
All this information can be a strong tool for evaluating and monitoring training progress.
