WINTER TURBO TRAINING STARTS THURSDAY 20TH OCTOBER
VENUE : OUNDLE SCHOOL SPORTS HALL
START : 7PM
COST: £5 per session
Following on from the success last year, we will be again running the turbo sessions over the winter.
These are coached sessions, shared between Pactrac and The Gorilla Firm riders. This year we will be running 25 sessions every Thursday starting on October 20th until April next year. The sessions are coached from the floor, not a bike so you will get good feedback and instruction.
The focus of these will be to improve bike power and pedal efficiency over the winter period. In conjunction with the weekly Saturday club ride these will improve your cycling fitness for next season.
We will be referring to everything in zones, so it doesn't matter if you are using perceived exertion (effort), heart rate or power it standardizes it all for everyone.
Equipment needed for the sessions:
Bike (with correct skewer for turbo)
Turbo trainer
Towels x2 (one for you, one for the floor!)
Drink
Computer with cadence sensor and heart rate sensor (HR is optional but strongly advised)
Power meter (optional)
