The humble home trainer is a fanstastic tool for repelicating the demands required for cycle racing. In this article we discuss in detail examples of data from typical bike races and then discuss how to then translate them into the intensities required for indoor cycle training workouts.

This article discusses an indoor cycle training session that helps develops power by gradually increasing gear size whilst reducing interval time. It also develops the body's ability to effectively buffer lactic acid. This session is still aerobic, effort should now be above the Base training zone and heart rate should be 80%-85% MHR.

This article describes an indoor cycling workout sessions that will help you develop even more strength, as you'll be selecting the hardest gears you have.

Developing your ability to sprint in a lot of cases will mean the difference between you consistently placing 4th and 5th to consistently winning.

This article discusses another base session to help keep the heart rate below 80% MHR. This session is designed to make base training a little more interesting.

Is 90% of the training that you're doing right now on the bike a waste of time? The problem is that finding out what you are doing wrong and what you have to do to fix it could take you years of trial an error. Have you got that sort of time? Life is short and you want results now.

I've seen it time and time again in the historical data of...

This article is a strength endurance indoor cycle training workout to increase power through developing increased muscle-fibre recruitment.

This article is the training program for Time Trial efforts to build strength for improving average speed on longer rides. Ideal for building good aerobic capacity, improving plasma volume, increasing mitochondrial enzymes, increasing V02MAX and converting type IIb muscle fibres to type IIa.

This session is a very efficient use of your training...

Training with power has been around for several years now. With the introduction of the SRM cranks, Cyclops Power tap hubs and other power measuring devices cyclists now have access to train with power.

Power zones are similar to the heart rate zones discuss previously but with two additional zones. The reason that there are two additional...

This article describes a huge fat burning workout to help you develop an increased use of fat as your an energy source. Not for the faint hearted. This is quite a hard session.
