              You’ve selected your training plan, created your ATP, optimized your loads and now you’re likely full-on into 2022 base training! With several weeks of training in your legs, it’s a good time to review your data to make sure you’re on track. What good is a plan if you don’t check and see if you’re following it as intended?!

              As we’ve been reviewing our WE Development riders’ data and checking their progress against their plans, we figured it might be helpful to share with our listeners how we perform the review process to make sure our athletes are on track with their training. We share how we use the Training Peaks Calendar, ATP and Ramp Rates to review progress, as well as physiological data (from WHOOP) for insights into the adaptation process.

              Lastly, we discuss how we do Vo2 Max training in our upcoming 8:00-16:00 Power training block. We share when to do more work intervals or reduce the recovery interval to maximize your Vo2 progression within our base building plans.

              Our latest 4.0 training plans utilize ‘readiness scores’ to maximize training progressions.

                  We’re back from a recovery week and gearing up for a tough training block. Fueling the workouts will be crucial to success. In this episode we share our whys and hows to fuel your workouts for optimal training and recovery.

                  Intensity relates directly to fuel metabolism. As endurance athletes we strive for increasing power at aerobic, fat-burning, intensities in order to spare glycogen. As intensity goes up so must the carbohydrate consumption to also spare glycogen. Is glycogen storage and consumption the key to success? Lastly, learn out straggles to fuel your training pre, mid and post workout to improve performance.

                  We finishes the episode with a look into how prescribe our 32:00 power intervals and the progressions we follow in order hit the power targets while minimizing the physiological stress in the pre-season. Let’s get ready to tackle our toughest training block within our v4.0 Base Builder plan !

                      We’re closing out our first block of training in our 2022 Base Builder Program this week. Heading into a recovery week and looking to ‘absorb’ the work we’ve done, adapt to the strain applied and increase our fitness!

                      Recovery weeks are much needed to bring our bodies back to ‘homeostasis’ after disrupting them with some quality training loads. Getting our readiness status back to “Green” and ready for more work in our second block of Base Builder training is the goal. “Green” is referring to our readiness score provided by Whoop (or other fitness wearable/HRV data measurements) that indicate your body is primed for more training stress.

                      Sleep is one of the best ways to assist your body in the recovery process and get back in the “Green”. In this week’s podcast, we’re going back to 2020’s episode #42 where we took a deep dive into sleep: why we need it, and how to do it better! Get better sleep and make bigger gains! Hope you enjoy.

                          As we turn the page into a new year, aerobic fitness is the name of the game in cycling and building an aerobic base is essential for creating endurance, power and speed. In this episode, we share our three essential base building rides that fit into our weekly programming, along with progressively higher intensity workouts, for our WE athletes and training plans:

                          • the ‘zone 2’ Aerobic Endurance Ride
                          • our ‘zone 3’ Aerobic Threshold Intervals
                          • and our ‘zone 3/4’ Aerobic Strength Intervals
                          • These rides/workouts require most riders to SLOW DOWN in order to get faster! We share our reasons for training by heart rate in order to govern your effort and simply observing where your power is on the day. This strategy allows us to recognize positive trends of improved fitness as well as provide ‘red flags’ of potential issues that may be limiting your improvements.

                             

                            This Episode’s Featured Structured Workout: Anaerobic Threshold Intervals (at 64:00 power)

                            We’re headed into week three of our 2022 Base Builder program (and v4 Base Builder Plan: Traditional Low-to-High Intensity Progression) and upping the ante a bit to the lower-end of the Anaerobic Threshold energy system by targeting your 64:00 power. Learn how we break these (normally) long intervals into smaller ‘broken intervals’ to make adjusting to the higher intensity work more achievable and effective early in the base season.

                             

                            Are you ready to get your base training on track for the new season?

                            We’re excited to launch our new v4.0 Base Builder training plans and 2022 Base Builder Program. After unveiling these new projects in the episode 67, we hope you consider joining us in training for 2022!

                                It’s that time of year again… time to test your current fitness in order to set accurate training zones for your base building season.

                                In this episode we share how we break down the basic metabolic energy systems into ‘sub-systems’ that relate to the training zones that we target in our training programs:

                                • Active Recovery
                                • Aerobic Endurance
                                • Aerobic Threshold
                                • Anaerobic Threshold
                                • Vo2 Max
                                • Anaerobic Power
                                • Peak Power
                                • Then we explain our testing method that identifies three key power levels:

                                  • Aerobic Power
                                  • Max Aerobic Power
                                  • Anaerobic Power
                                  • With these three data points we can identify a power profile that sets your training zones based on your rate of fatigue that determines your power levels across each zone. Once armed with accurate data you’re able to kick off your 2022 training and know you’re on track for a peak performance!

                                     

                                    Are you ready to get your base training on track for the new season?

                                      • Episode 68: Optimizing Your 2022 Season

                                        With the new year in sight as we reach the end of the ‘off-season’, it is now ‘planning season’.

                                        It’s time to begin registering for your target events, laying out your training progressions, dialing in your anticipated training loads and above all… getting the timing right!

                                        In this episode, we share our insights on how to best plan and optimize your season ahead using Training Peaks to ensure you set yourself up for the best chance of success in 2022. As the quote goes: “Fail to Plan, then Plan to Fail”.

                                        We unwrap three important planning steps that many athletes and often coaches fail to address with their athletes:

                                        1. Setting up your Annual Training Plan (macro-level planning)
                                        2. Identifying your optimal weekly training loads/progressions (meso-level)
                                        3. Adjusting daily workouts to meet your meso & macro level targets and ATP (micro-level)
                                        4. This exact process is what we do for our coached athletes within our WE Development MTB Team and offer to our adult athletes. We hope we share useful insights that can help you plan and optimize your season so as to lead to a peak performance on event day!

                                                  A crazy busy summer didn’t keep Coach Cody from exceeding his Leadville 100 goals. In this episode Cody & Kathy break down the training progressions, what went well, what was learned and key takeaways from the build and execution this summer in the Colorado mountains.

                                                  If you’re into the Leadville 100 (or any ultra-distance cycling events) you won’t want to miss this. Enjoy!
