Lactate Threshold and Aerobic Threshold testing along with the creation of individually specific heart rate zones and recommendations on how to best train. This testing process informs the periodization model needed. For cyclists who have a power meter we can also do a Power Profile to identify strengths and weaknesses.
*Note: This testing and analysis is included in the 1 to 1 coaching service(s).

What Makes My Approach Different?
"Massive emphasis on muscular endurance at 2 key aerobic intensities and sport specific strength training. Couple that with monitoring of HRV for maximum adaptations via ideal timing of recovery."
In a nutshell... the "fluff" is gone. I’ve had a long time to observe what works and what doesn’t. Our time is precious - let’s use it wisely- doing what works. Read More.

The "Junction"
The junction is training at a specific intensity while simultaneously having high muscle tension. Think hiking or running up a steep incline, or biking uphill. When done at the right intensity and done consistently (and balanced with mobility work) the result is superior muscular endurance. The kind of fitness that lets you float uphill with ease.
We will spend a great deal of time training at the “Junction” - making adaptations that get to the heart of what creates successful endurance athletes.
