Your Best Season Ever, Parts 1 and 2
Coach John Hughes, drawing on his 20 years of coaching experience in these two eArticles, explains how to use current training science to plan and reach your goals.
In Your Best Season Ever, Part 1: How to plan and get the most out of your training Coach Hughes explains how to set appropriate goals for you. What do you want to do this season? Ride with a faster group on club rides? Commute more days to save money and help the environment? Conquer a tough climb? Complete a specific event? Set a personal record? Participate in a tour? Improve your health and fitness?
Coach Hughes then shows you how to assess your individual strengths and weakness and set appropriate personal objectives. You then use this information to build a plan including personal training volumes for different seasons and months.
Based on this plan Coach Hughes explains how to create your personal workouts including:
- Exercising at the right intensities,
- Recovering fully to allow progress,
- Measuring your progress, and then
- Adjusting the plan.
