Training Plans are more than just a print out

Training for the Triple Bypass is not like training for a marathon or a 5K. You can’t just simply increase your milage every week up to 110m. Why? Because 100 miles in flatland Texas is a lot different to 100 miles in Colorado. Time in the saddle and incorporating climbing when you can is KEY. I understand that some of you live at lower elevation and don’t even have hills, let alone mountains. I do my vary best to provide options that will ensure you do the work to get ready. During the first 6 weeks I will also provide indoor trainer workouts as options.

This training plan also includes frequent emails with tips and tricks with such as clothing and nutrition. While this plan is not like working 1:1 with me, it is more personal than a stock plan you may find elsewhere. I will be on the course on the day, and you should consider me one of your biggest supporters. I do not want to see any of my athletes fail (yes you are an athlete!).

A bike computer with heart rate strap and/or a power meter is required for this training plan. Please reach out if  you have questions about this, I am happy to help. natalie@highroadcoaching.com

Bike Computer and Power Meter OR Heart Rate Strap needed

This plan is more than just a time or distance based plan. I feel strongly you need to train with either Heart Rate or a Power Meter to truly feel confident that you are READY. You also need a bike computer (sorry in this case you need more than just your phone). I am more than happy to talk with you about this, if you don’t have these tools and advise you. With or without a Training Plan I think a bike computer is a key piece of gear (save your phone for when you need it).
