Tailor made for multi-sport athletes
Will you be preparing for a grueling ironman this year? Perhaps you are only doing a half ironman, the Olympic distance, or even a duathlon? Whatever your event these mobile training camps will help you prepare for the cycling leg of your race. You will learn specific workouts in order to make your cycling training time more efficient. Topics such as bike handling skills, mechanics and proper bike fit will all be covered. This is a great opportunity to learn all you need to know about cycling and gain invaluable endurance and fitness. All training camps and tours are run by Canadian National team cyclist Anne Samplonius, whose specialty is the time trial, where she won the silver medal at the World Championships in 1994. Each camp or tour offers a specific workshop focusing on “the race of truth”. You will learn about specific workouts, the mental focus, as well as tips to save energy during the cycling portion, including a better aerodynamic position on the bike.
A Recent Study…
A. Mathew Luebbers III found in his study on the correlations between annual training patterns and race performance in male, non-elite, ironman-distance triathletes (January 2005) that the most notable difference was a positive relationship between higher bike training distances and race success, particularly during the final months leading up to an ironman-distance race. Luebbers found observed differences between group patterns, the most outstanding being the high success group showing greater distances of bike training, which is consistent with other study's findings (http://trisurvey.net).
For athletes competing in multi-sport studies like this are slowly leading to the notion that it is becoming more and more important to have sport specific coaching. Tour2train offers such specific coaching and training in cycling, which Luebbers points to as appearing to be very important in the lead-up to the ironman competition.
