5-week Cycling Intensive: 2 new start dates!
Posted by The Training Room on February 7, 2011
Suzanne Schwartz, local cycling instructor and avid triathlete, is teaching two more 5-week cycling intensives at The Training Room in Somerville! The classes, 105 minutes each (90 minutes on the bike), are geared toward outside riders and triathletes. Participants work on cycling fitness, progressing though workouts each week to improve strength, endurance and power on the bike.
Week one focuses on form and technique on the bike, with an eye toward understanding different tempos/cadences. Participants also establish a base level of fitness by the end of the first class, checking perceived or actual exertion with both a set of intervals and an endurance climb. (So, if you’re a returning participant, you can compare your new base level of fitness to your previous one.) All classes have a combination of endurance, speed and interval training. As the classes progress, the strength exercises increase in intensity and Suzanne lengthens endurance efforts. The classes build toward longer intervals at higher exertion with less recovery. The final class returns to the same set of baseline intervals and endurance drills as the first class in order to evaluate the improvement in perceived exertion and fitness. Heart rate monitors are highly recommended.
