SPECIFIC PROGRAMS FOR DEMANDING INDIVIDUALS... The Mountain Bike Custom Program is a monthly training program for anybody with special goals and events or a desire for a personal program developed specifically for their schedule and needs. It is a more detailed and comprehensive program that is based on your personal race, work, travel and other commitments as well as all of the components of the Individual Program (including racing category, previous racing experience, racing region, anaerobic threshold, maximum heart rate, current fitness level, age, sex, height/weight ratio, other measures and rider feedback. The program combines mountain bike and road training including endurance rides, interval training, racing as training and specific skill training including climbing, descending, sprinting, spinning and big gear training in addition to other exercises. A focus on road training and road racing for training are also a part of the mountain bike program. Weight training is included as well, and cross training is combined in the fall and winter training. The Custom Program includes up to 90 minutes of consultation time for the monthÊ with the Wenzel Coaching coaches to answer any questions, discuss upcoming or recently completed races, and to discuss any potential changes. (Additional minutes beyond the original 90 are billed at the One on One Consulting rate, although most racers rarely require more than 90 minutes.) Included as part of the Wenzel Coaching program is a monthly newsletter illustrating skills in real life race situations, critiquing and explaining race strategy, providing advice for how to handle sickness and injury, and laying out schedules for best reaching or meeting with each coach in the upcoming month. Programs are mailed and billed separately each month by US mail. (Programs by email can be arranged depending on your word processor.) Programs are available for all levels of racers. No long term commitments are required although we encourage all riders to give any new program time. Write to Wenzel Coaching at WenzelCoaching@aol.com for more information and prices.
