2008 BIKE BOOTCAMP
New & Improved this Year!
Want to get in shape for summer? Have a goal to do better in the Test this year? Want to be able to ride longer, harder & faster? Want to make the most of your hours on the bike?
Starting the first Sunday in February, you will be provided with weekly fitness, nutrition, racing and cycling tips. These “one pagers” will hopefully optimize your training, improve your riding, and enhance your race experience. You will also attend some early season indoor training (ie. spin classes) to get your legs moving and heart pumping. Some outdoor rides will be included to allow you to work on specific training goals (ie. long slow, hill interval and race pace rides). We will also be spending some time on the Ore Crusher and Test of Metal race courses.
In order to ensure you get the most out of your time and training program, it is important that the fitness plan is based on your body’s specific fitness level and response to exercise. For this reason, you will be undergoing a fitness assessment which will provide the individual information necessary for proper exercise prescription (ie. heart rate zones).
You will undergo a graded exercise test on your bicycle where the intensity is gradually increased until failure. Lactate measurements will be taken at regular intervals and analyzed on a medical grade lactate analyzer to create a profile of how your body responds to that particular exercise.
The Exercise Physiologist will analyze your physiological profile and precisely indentify the intensities (ie. Watts and Heart Rate) corresponding to the 5 key training zones that are critical for you to improve your event-specific fitness. The testing will be done at Peak Centre.
Each participant in the course will receive a weekly e-mail outlining the training plan for the week, the group ride format & location and the fit tip. The course dates are:
