Triple Bypass Training Plans
Triple Bypass training plans for purchase are designed to guide anyone from a relatively new cyclist to the experienced Triple Bypass rider. 9 plans are available covering beginner and experienced cyclists, 26-week or 15-week designs, and mountain area riders to flat land riders. The plans are designed to work into everyday life and provide the structure to succeed. OES provides these plans via Training Peaks, an on-line interface for coach and client with download capabilities as well as journaling and nutrition tracking. Training Peaks service is free of charge for the entire length of the plan you purchase. If you currently have an account with Training Peaks, then you already know the benefit to it, if you haven’t used it before now is a great time to try it. With access to the plan anywhere you have an internet connection and the ability to track daily metrics, nutrition and uploaded data (many devices supported); this is a powerful journal to utilize for training. We feel this will allow for us to help you when you have a question about the plan or desire some form of modification to ensure success. So, once you sign up you will be able to use Training Peaks to its fullest. (Note: all Training Plan purchases will end on July 13th, 2008 and to continue Training Peaks service after that date, you will need to purchase the subscription, which is $19.95 a month.)
Added Bonuses
Organized practice rides, to complete the 3 major climbs, provided over several weekends prior to the event. Included with purchase is a coupon for a Lactate Threshold test with Optimize Endurance Services and a description on how to perform a field test.
If you would like a custom training plan or to work with a coach, or any other services, such as exercise physiology testing (to determine proper training zones) and metabolic testing, contact us (link)for special rates for Triple Bypass participants.
Training information
The training is designed around the use of a heart rate monitor and or rate of perceived exertion (RPE). Heart rate zone training based on lactate threshold of the rider is the suggested model to benefit most from these plans, but a field test to determine threshold will bring similar results. More information is provided on a downloadable document after plan purchase.
To help you decide which plan works for you please answer these questions:
Setting annual training hours is one of the most critical decisions you make about training and will help make a realistic choice on which training plan best fits your schedule. To help you determine annual training hours- Add up your hours you have trained in the previous twelve months. Now divide this number by 52 to get your average weekly hours. The number of hours you train in the coming season – including swimming, cycling, running, weights and cross-training – determines your training work load. This workload should be 10-15% higher if the Triple Bypass is your longest event to date.
