Training Tips
Setting Effective Race Goals
Trevor Connor
When going into a race, it is critical to set goals. One of the biggest mistakes an athlete can make is to start a race with no clear idea of what they want to achieve or how they are going to race the event. Without a clear direction, a cyclist too often ends up at the mercy of the field, allowing the race to dictate their performance instead of the other way around.
Altitude Training
Houshang Amiri
Altitude training is a proven effective tool for cyclists. I have used it with many athletes that I have coached and seen the benefits. As a Centre that is committed to drug-free sport, we are always seeking legal alternatives to improve our athletes’ performance and to get the vital edge over the competition. Coaching is an art, and in our experience with Elite performance, it requires application of the most current science and research in order to improve an athlete’s performance. Altitude training is one of these scientific tools.
