This is the final Clinic of the Cycling Academy Training Clinic series that puts the "icing on the fitness cake". After weeks of long climbs and roller riding in the Torture Clinic, the program changes to high-power output, short work bouts, and rest periods. The focus is on higher-than-normal effort, elevated heart rates and short speed and sprint bouts, interspersed with numerous rest intervals--all done on the Monark ergometer and wind trainer.
30 - 35 Minute Ride on the Monark Stationary Ergometer
Improves aerobic capacity, lung function, leg strength, climbing power, flat speed, and recovery. **Due to classes currently being online, if you do not have an erg and would like to utilize one during the clinic, we are offering an option to rent an erg at home. Due to the delicate nature of the ergs, we are asking for a maintenance fee. All trainings can be done on the trainer or other stationary bike if this is not an option for you. Please let us know so we can arrange drop-off/pick-up. First come first serve on available ergs.
