We have some great NEW (or returning) services to offer our coached athletes, Team Adrenalin members, and anyone else looking for some training assistance in 2012. The fantastic EPC Training Lab is just about finished and ready for it’s grand opening in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more specific info and images of the LAB in a future post. Until then, here is what we have lined up for training service offerings…
- Lactate Threshold Testing
Being able to accurately identify your training zones is a necessity to effective endurance sport training. Estimating your zones can get you started, but defining them through laboratory testing will ensure you are not wasting any time or energy at the wrong effort level. Training just a few heartbeats, watts, or seconds per mile harder than necessary can compromise your ability to recover and ultimately lead to fatigue and overtraining. Through testing your blood lactate levels at increasingly higher work rates (either on a Computrainer® or treadmill) we can pin point exactly where your transition from aerobic training to anaerobic training occurs, and subsequently identify your training zones. By testing periodically throughout your training season you can also note your progress in the terms of more power on the bike and faster paces on the run for the same effort.
- Bike Testing = $100
- Run Testing = $100
Swimming is often the hardest thing to learn when taking on a triathlon. That’s because swimming is much more than simply building aerobic fitness, as is much the case for the cycling and run segments. Swimming is much more about technique and being able to reduce your drag in the water and create a strong and effective pull. The best way to accomplish this is through one-on-one coaching with video review so you can see where you need to focus your attention to make improvements. Swimming in an Endless Pool® with mirrors allowing you to see yourself swimming in real time, along with video analysis, and a coach to help you identify your trouble spots is invaluable! After the sessions you will be armed with a better understanding of what you need to do, and the drills you can practice on your own between sessions to make the progress you have always wanted in the water. Training sessions are 30 minutes long and will save your video files in an online library you can store and access them on your own at home. READ MORE

1. EPC GROUP COACHING
With a systematic training plan built around training and coaching in a group setting, EPC Group Coaching caters to the Multisport or single sport athlete looking for a more affordable alternative to personal coaching.

Included in the program are regular weekly swim, bike and run workouts that are coordinated to fit into the plan; workout with the group everyday, only when it’s convenient, or entirely on your own, it’s up to you. In addition to the group practices, through the monthly conference calls you have your training objectives identified and can have your specific questions answered. Join the EPC Group Coaching Team and achieve your training and racing goals through the support of coaches and fellow athletes training for similar events. This option is intended for local Colorado-based athletes focused on road or off-road triathlon events in the mountain region and a second group focused on Colorado mountain biking events.
