We use the same sessions in our very successful remote coaching program. Here are some of the comments and feedback that we are getting from our athletes:
"I have been keen to drop you a note after last Saturday's racing. Remember you encouraged me last week to say that I was getting better & stronger, well I think you were right. I went out the next day & did my V02 max rides better than before but found they were still hard work, it was just that I was more encouraged so I tried a bit harder. Then on Saturday, when it all counts, I rode in D grade and came in 2nd place. My HR didn't work for the race but I was noticing how I was feeling and I would say that I only got into V02 max in the last 5 minutes or so, at least that's how it felt as I was cruising most of the time, Then on the last lap the pace picked up and I was right there with the leaders and I had to hold back from sprinting too early so I sat on another wheel for the last half a lap then in the last 25 meters there was a mini sprint and I overtook 2 other people to come in 2nd place, and what was better is that I felt really strong at the end. The speed over the line was only 50 kph ( I have done better) but it was enough. The cold weather is not too bad here and even though I hate the cold, I love training in winter because I get a jump on all the soft riders while they are still at home in bed. Thanks for all your help so far." David Wilkins - QLD, Australia.
And another one from Stephen:
"G'day Dave,I'm fantastic now that I've been keenly following most of the tips you've sending me - now for the third month.
Regards, Stephen.

Yesterday I purchased your book on training.I have found out so much. Some I am doing wrong and some to do better. It is the best Christmas present I have bought and all the thanks go to you.

Just did my first "Bridge Interval" as per you Cyclinginform page 64.
We had the Individual Time Trial State Champs yesterday. I came third in Mas 5.
Daniel Vanechop (Northern Sydney CC) is the current National and State Champion. This time last year at the same event he put 3min 8 sec into me over 20km.
In the National TT in April this year he beat me over the same course by 2min 29 sec.
Yesterday, over the same course I got as close as 35 sec.

Excellent training guide. Gives me lots of ideas for training at home.

Hi David,
I have just digested the gist of the guide, and I must commend the effort you guy’s have put into it.
The comprehensive information broken down to easy applications is fantastic.
I have worked my final training ride up for 2Hrs on Sat morn (on the trainer) before the 360k ride from Townsville to Cairns.
I really welcome the structured program applying to the home trainer, as I have no distance to ride here on an Island (Magnetic Island) the trainer has been discovered as a great training tool. I look forward to jumping on the bike at 5.30am and watching for whales going past.
Keep up the encouragement to all who need it.
