Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
Albert Einstein
Year after year, person after person we see many athletes do the exact same thing. They log their base miles, begin their steady intensity, join in on the exact same group rides and then slowly build up to an event. Some athletes participate in the exact same event which may be a century, a bike race or some thing as grandiose as an Ironman triathlon. With the thought of the same course or same type of intensity we know of some athletes who even utilize the exact same training plan year, after year, after year, after… well, you get the point!
In 2016 we want you to challenge your status quo, we want you to test your limits and we want you to reach new goals. Over the years we have found a rhythm with our coaching and that rhythm is much like our athletes physical abilities, our approaches to increasing performance and fitness must change. The workouts might be similar in philosophy and name but the timing, frequency and quantity are always modified to help each athlete reach their peak performance when best possible.
So, have you just come off of your base training? Are you looking at an early season event where you hope to perform well? What are you doing now to guarantee the best results for that event? We hope it isn’t the same thing that you did last year!
