Resource of the Month: Podrunner |
 |
|
Each month, the Wenzel Coaching newsletter brings you
a free or economical resource to help you enhance your
training. This month, we bring you Podrunner, a
podcast with lots of great music for indoor workouts.
Since we are on the subject of indoor training this
month, the
Podrunner Podcast is a great resource to highlight
at a time when much of the country is battling frigid
temperatures. Podrunner is the creation of dj steveboy,
and every week he brings you a new podcast featuring 1
hour long music selections to keep you cranking it
over for those trainer workouts.
The websites found in the "Resource of the Month" are
in no way associated with Wenzel Coaching and we are
not responsible for any information they contain.

Power-training Tip of the Month |
 |
|
Use your power-meter's memory function to it's best
effect: Don't just upload the data and walk away.
Review the ride. Did you do what you were supposed to
do? Did you hold the suggested cadence? The suggested
power or heart rate? It is possible for a skilled
rider to maintain power within just a few watts and
heart rate within a few beats for many minutes at a
time? How do you do at this?

account that you have no control over...The most

that."- - Eddy Merckx, Retired Pro Cyclist,

ridiculously terrible weather outside?
You may not love it, but it’s trainer time.
Now, you may be eying your resistance trainer and
asking, "Can I really stomach a full workout on it?”
