BioPower Hacks – Make Your Endurance Training Easier & More Effective


Listen Later


I have a confession to make.


This may surprise you to hear but the truth is that I am
kind of lazy. I mean, I’m not wanting to just sit on the couch watching
television and eating Oreos…at least not all day…but I really don’t like to work
hard for no reason.


But this also motivates me. Yes, I know that being “motivated
by my laziness” is an oxymoron but somehow it works out.


I think that this is because
even though I am kind of lazy I still don’t want to get my ass kicked. I
like to be good at the things I spend time doing – like mountain biking - and
to make up for my unwillingness to work like a dog all day long I try to think
my way to making the most out of the time I do spend working and training.


Enter the “hack”. Hacking is a popular term these days and
it basically represents a way of approaching things by working smarter instead
of harder. You do this by finding the right things to focus your time and
effort on so that you can get most of the results in much less time.


At its core my entire coaching career has been motivated by finding these hacks and applying them to my
own training and then to the training of my clients and customers.


I certainly don’t have a ton of time to train – not when you
factor in family, work, riding and some other hobbies on the side. And from the
feedback I get from other riders neither do they.


So to help myself and the riders I work with through my
prorgams get the most out of their training time I apply what I call BioPower
Hacks.


Now first, like I explained in
this previous blog post, Biological Power is a new and improved way to look
at Endurance Training. Instead of focusing almost exclusively on one factor –
cardio training – Biological Power takes into account all of the ways your body
both produces and uses energy to create
power.


Understanding how this concept applies to improving your
mountain bike fitness and skills is the key to making the most out of your
training time. Only by integrating all 4
systems that make up Biological Power can you hope to have the best program
possible.


Which is why knowing how to hack into your Biological Power –
or BioPower as I call it – is the key to having the best training program possible
to fit your lifestyle. The less time you have the more of these hacks we can
apply to squeeze the most out of the time we have.


And for the first
time ever I’m sharing these BioPower Hacks with you. I use these principles
to help guide the training programs I write for riders as varied as World Cup
XC Pros to weekend riders who just want to have more fun and stop being the
last one on group rides.


In this new webinar I tell you…


- Why riding a road bike
in the off season will actually slow your BioPower transfer to the trail



- Why your brain is
the most important thing to consider when creating your training program



- How to get the most
transfer from strength training to the trail



- How hard and how
often to ride to get the best results



- How to structure
your rides based on your discipline
